THE "TIED" MAN
MURDER NOT SUSPECTED.
So far nobody has identified tho body of the man which -was washed up on tho beach at Oriental Bay on Thursday morning, and there noticed by Mr. T.- W. Foote. The man's liands and feet were tied together, a circumstance that might indicate that there had been foul play. Some of the police officers. hold that tho weight of evidence is against tho supposition that there had been foul play, owing to the. manner in which both the hands and feet were tied. The ankles were tied loosely together by a single strand of ordinary parcel string, and tho hands were tied together with a. turn round each wrist by a short length of very loose binder twine, which could bo easily done by a man who, determined to end his life, wished to obviate tlie instinct to strike out on reaching the water. The man was very thin, though not emaciated, was about GO years of age, and had sandy moustache and hair, grizzled grey.
