The trial of Kenneth Oswald, charged with the wilful murder of his cousin, James Oswald, was the most exciting case that had been brought before a Castlehurst Jury for many years. The Court was crowded. Mr. Sandford, Q.C., for the prosecution, and Mr. Talbot for the defence, were considered a very equal match, and both looked as if they thought the case clear enough.
The first witnesses called were James Pike and Daniel Flaherty, members of the police force, whom Kenneth and Mick had taken with them on their return from the search in all probable places for the unfortunate young man.
