SIELY MURDER CHARGE.
DAUGHTER ACQUITTED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copjrlsht (Rec. June 6, 8.30 p.m.) Sydney, Juno G. Kate Sicly, aged fourteen, was acquitted on tho charge of murdering her father at Shell Harbour. Tho ovidenco disclosed a pathetic story —years of drunkenness, and ill-treatment of wife and family by the dead man. The gun with which tho fatal wound was iiiflicted went off while the girl was struggling to get it from her father, who had threatened to shoot tho whole family. At tho inquest which wos'hcld on tho the girl's father (in March last), a verdict of accidental death was returned. Apparently tho Police Department did not consider that tho coroner's finding sufficiently exhausted tho oase.
