A SYDNEY CRIME.
Svdnkv,January 7
Casey has been committed for trial for murdering Johanna Kelly. His confession stated that after visiting other hotels to try and get a drink, and finding them closed he went to the hotel where Kelly was employed. He saw the woman enter the bedroom, and believed her to be the identical woman who robbed him in Queensland. Under this impression, when all was quiet, he entered the bedroom and cut the woman’s throat. He confessed because the crime was troubling him. Casey, whose manner in Court was strange, was not asked to plead.
