OTARAMA STABBING CASE,
[BY TELEGItAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Dunedin, last night.
At the Police Court Alexander Thompson, one of the seamen of the s.s. Otarama, was charged with the murder of George Gibbs, one of the crew. The evidence adduced was similar to that given at the inquest, so far the hearing not being concluded. A seaman named Stiles swore that he saw accused get out of his bunk with a knife, saying he could not stand the row any longer. Accused then approached Gibbs just as the light went out, Gibbs a moment later saying “I’m stabbed.”
THE BELFORD. The ship Belford called at the Heads, and was ordered on to Lyttelton to load.
