Ernest Richards details his dispute with Smith and the boy. Jeremy Parsons QC counters that Richards has served jail time for perjury. Sgt. Barnet discusses a mallet found, at the crime scene, containing the blood of Mrs. Richards.

Jack Smith gives his evidence and explains how he became Leo's guardian. Smith states Leo is 9-years-old and under the age of criminal responsibility. Jimmy Dobie is called on behalf of the defence but his evidence is patchy at best.
