A young man named John Scott Mclutosh, aged 29, who resided with his wife and sister in Lawrence street, Newtowii, was found dead iv Nevvtown Park this afternoon with a bullet through his forehead and a six-chambered revolver at his side. He had been missing since Monday at midday and had evidently been dead about 48 hours. He had been out of employment over five months and had become very despondent of late. He followed the occupation of a clerk, aud was at one time on the staff of the National Bank at Napier. At 1.15 on Monday afternoon he left his home, telling his wife he was going to buy some bread, and was not afterwards seen alive. He had never been heard to say anything about taking his life, and it was not until yesterday morning that the police were informed that he was missing from his home.
