MURDEROUS THREATS.
MENACING LETTER TO SIR JOSEPH WARD.
{By Telegraph—Press Association.)
Wellington, last night. The lotter from Moore to Sir Joseph Ward said that if the writer removed Ward as McKinley was removed he believed it would be rendering a service to Now Zealand. Ward was head of the monopolies, which he, Moore, was fighting, and stopped his progress. “ Why,” continues the letter, “ should I let you atop me when a bullet or dagger will put you out of tho way ? I am willing to sacrifice my life for the good of my cause as Anarchists do.” Then follows a reference to tho work ho has been engaged in, and the letter concludes as follows : “ You are treating me foully. I shall deal foully with you. As you are warned you cannot regard me cowardly.” Tho letter was signed, and no secreoy made about its delivery. In the Court Moore pleaded guilty and said he wrote under a Bonse of irritation, and with no intontion of doing what ho threatened. He saw now foolish he had been. The prisoner was remanded to tho Supremo Court for sentence.
