Mr C. Y. O’Connor.
HIS DEATH AT PREEMANTLE.
A painful sensation was caused on Tuesday by the news that Mr 0. Y. O’Connor, Engineer-in-Ohief, had been found dead in the water on the beach some miles. from Fremantle under circumstances pointing to suicide. The deceased gentleman’s body was found in three feet of water. There was a bullet wound in the mouth and the ball had passed out at the back of the head. A revolver was found in the water close by the body. Mr O’Connor had been in the habit of taking a morning ride accompanied by his daughter, but on Tuesday he went out alone. Nothing unusual in his demeanour had been noticed.
