Why did an apparently simple case of conspiracy result in Christchurch citizens flocking to Court in their hundreds on 29th December 1895? Why were seven bodies exhumed in the Wairarapa, several more in Wellington and others from the graveyard of the Sunnyside Mental Hospital in early 1886?

The reprint is from one of only two known copies of a pamphlet rushed into print as the Magistrate's Court concluded its hearing.
