THE KYEBURN TRAGEDY.
[PBB PEBSS ASSOCIATION SPKOIAIr WIBE.] DUNEDIN, August 11. The inquest on the body of Mrs Young was resumed this morning at the Kyburn. A number of Chinamen have been arrested. The police are confident, from evidence in their possession, that they have discovered that the crime can be sheeted home to either one or two Chinamen. The cord used for gagging was of a most peculiar character. No trace of a similar kind could be obtained anywhere. A Chinaman arrested yesterday m a hut about a mile from Na3eby, had this peculiar cord in his possession. He had also a number of scratches and other marks on his person, some of them such as might have been inflicted by a candlestick. _ His boots also correspond with the prints in the neighborhood of the garden fence. Some of the other Chinamen have soratches and bruiaes, and it is asserted that teeth marks can also be traced. Commisaionor Weldon has been most untiring in his exertions, being ably assisted by Inspector Hickson.
