SUICIDE AT GISBORNE.
Gi^borne. This Day. At the inquest on Thomas Wallace, a labourer, who committed suicide at Kaiti by cutting his throat with a butcher's knife, the evidence showed some gruesome details. The man first slashed his throat with a pocket knife and then wandered through the house spurting blood everywhere and left on a bed, occupied by two small children, his money, watch and vest. The parents of the children hearing a gurgling noise and banging on the wall had vacated the premises and gone for the assistance of the neighbours. The inquest was adjourned.
