A SYDNEY TRAGEDY.
* Attempted Murder and Suicide.
Sydney, July 2
A tragedy occurred to-day at Hillston (four hundred miles west of Sydney). A man named Robert Whatley knocked at the door of a house occupied by a woman named Hussey. When the door was opened Whatley shot the woman in the breast, the bullet emerging at the armpit. Whatley made inquiries as to whether the victim of his outrage was nearly dead, and on getting a reply in the affirmative blew out his own brains.
The woman is progressing iavourably towards recovery.
