THE WAITARA TRAGEDY.
Dr. Goode Seriously Injured*
New Plymouth, Yesterday.
The condition of Dr Goode, who
stands charged with the murder of
MrsKlenner. at Waitara last week, is causing medical men some
anxiety. It appears that a wound which was noticeable under the
chin at the time of arrest has developed dangerpus symptoms, and although no information is procurable from the Hospital where prisoner has been removed for treatment, it is generally understood that doctors consider the injury to be the result of a bullet wound, the - bullet having pro-
bably lodged in the jaw or neck. This probably accounts for the blood with which Goode’s clothing was covered at the time of his arrest. On the journey from Waitara to custody, a re-
_. porter noticed that Goode complained frequently of pain in the v ' jaw and neck, but it was considered that he had received some
injury during the struggle of his arrest. It is stated that his condition is now somewhat grave, his
temperature being such that an operation can only be attempted at considerable risk.
