Execution in Melbourne.
o (Per Press Association.) Melbourne, This Day. Charles Strange was executed yesterday morning for the murder of a jockey named Joseph Docey, near Cunningham, in November last. Death was instantaneous. The condemned man was penitent. It has transpired that Strange and Docey quarrelled about a girl, and Docey made disparaging remarks about her. Strange retaliated with strong language, whereupon Docey struck him in the face. Strange became enraged, and, picking up an axe, dealt the other man his death blow^
