The Poverty Bay Murder

The search party yesterday found the body of Eobert Streeter in a hole a short distance from where the deceased and his mate were fencing. The locality is about 40 miles from Giaborne in very rough country, beyond the oil springs. The message states there is evidence of Streeter having been murdered, although the ! body is in an advanced state of decomposition. It is thought there will be no difficulty in identifying the remains. Dr Innes left town this morning for the locality of the murder. An inquest will be held tomorrow at Whatatutu. William Black, charged with the murder, and Streeter's wife are to leave Gisborne to day in charge of the police to be present at the inquest. Detective Campbell, of Wellington, arrived this morning, and proceeds to the scene of the murder.
