The Petone Tragedy.
Tims the Wellington correspondent oi the Nelson Star :— We are still puzzling our heads over the horrible PetGiu tragedy, which seems to be as great a mystery as ever. I hear that the detee arc shadowing a certain iudividiial whom a good many Petoue residents strongU suspect to be the criminal, but on the other baud Shore is kept in custody. A curious circumstance connected with the affair has, I bear, come to light. This is that on the table on which the unfortunate pair had their last meal was found an egg cup with au egg shell, Now neither of tho murdered persons ever ate eggs, and it is argued that there was a third party at the tea table on that fateful evening when they met their death, and this third person was certainly not Shore. Who was it ?
