SAD SUICIDE CASE.

(Special to “Star.”)

Dunedin, This Day, It is said that young Hindson who committed suicide by shooting himself with a revolver suffered from nerve trouble and that he was much upset recently on learning of the sudden death of his father a few months ago under very sad circumstances. Mr Hindson (senr.) who was a retired officer of the Bank of New South Wales had a varied and lengthened Australian experience and on being awarded his pension settled in the Old Country two years and a half ago. He came to New Zealand on a flying visit and saw his son placed in the office of Mr Macgregor (solicitor) here, A few months ago Mr Hindson determined to revisit the Colony and for that purpose came to London with the object of securing a passage by an outgoing steamer for New Zealand. On the very day his vessel was to have sailed Mr Hindson when proceeding along one of the streets of the city lost his hat during a sudden blow and in trying to recover his headgear from an area he overbal meed himself and broke his neck. Young Hindson’s manner of late had been peculiar. He had to give up his University classics owing to bad health, weakness of the heart being what he complained of.
