The Tragedy at Dunedin.
I Per Press Association.] Ddnedin, December 26. The inquest on William Mudge, who was killed at South Dunedin on Sunday night, was formally opened to-day and adjourned to Wednesday week. Richard Dobson and J. E. Kufner were brought up at the Police Court, charged with the murder of Mudge, and the hearing was adjourned till Saturday, bail being refused. In connection with the tragedy at South Dunedin it appears that Ashton for some reason or other went past his own house and round to the back door of a woman named Greaves, where Dobson had stayed on Saturday night and where he had visited on Sunday. The woman says Ashton and Mudge tried to force their way, and at this stage Dobson appeared on the scene and a scuffle ensued. Mrs Greaves slipped out of the house to go to her brother's close by to send him for the police. The latter brought Constable Dale, but the mischief had been done by that time.
