Heavy Sessions Open At Forbes Pushes Jurors
The Forbes Quarter Sessions opened with a heavy docket including cases on arson and theft. Witnesses described fires in Windary and the river bank, with Constable Henry Lawry and others testifying about suspects and motive. The jury heard from many locals, including James Debenham and Ernest Arnold Bengrave, regarding stacks set alight and subsequent investigations. The defense argued possible misidentification while prosecutors aimed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court adjourned to consider verdicts on the first charges, with subsequent sessions planned to address remaining counts.
