Thomas was identified by a Pukekohe jeweller as being the man who brought in a rolled gold watch to be repaired which was covered in blood and mucus. 5. A woman claiming to be a close friend of Jeanette’s testified that Arthur had ‘pestered’ Jeanette at local dances, and that he had a ‘passion’ for her. In their case against Thomas theCrown also presented snippets of information such as the fatal bullets being marked ‘8’, relating this to the finding of one, and o n e o n ly No. ‘8’ bullet on Thomas’ THOMAS farm; one of five pieces of wire being sim ila r in composition to some wire found on his farm; and comments allegedly made by Arthur Thomas which were supposed to be sinister. RIFLING MARKS On the first point, that of the rifling marks, there was also another rifle of the 64 tested from the area which could have fired the bullets. The testing of the rifles was by no means exhaustive - at least fifteen .22 rifles in the nearby districts were untested. The other rifle whose rifling coincided with the markings on the bullets was, strangely enough, owned by a family whose father was murdered thirty odd years ago. They live approximately half a mile away from the Crewe farmhouse. Compare this with the eight miles between Arthur’s and Crewe’s. T H E A X L E S The Crown tried very hard to prove that the axle had been tied to the body of Harvey Crewe, but obviously the only way this could be done was to have a diver look. With the precision one has come to expect from the police in this case, the wire allegedly attaching the body to the axle was pulled out of the water before tive held any attempt to ascertain whether or not they were joined was made. ions weii It seems highly unlikely that Harvey’s \6V i stone body would be ■tersenwi weighted, when that of his wife (presumably 9-10 stone) was not. made.
