THE OAMARU TRAGEDY.
[by telegraph.] Oamaru, To-day. Alexander Beattie was charged at the Magistrate’s Court to-day, with the murder of Sarah Adams, at Papakaio, on or about the xoth June. The evidence adduced so far is very much the same as given at the inquest last week. Sergeant Major Thomson, in opening the case, said he would produce evidence that the woman was alive on the 10th June, when Beattie went home, and said that the theory was that the prisoner murdered her that night, and that he buried her the following night, when he left the hotel where he had a bed. The case is likely to last two or three days.
