THE TIMARU MURDER
Timaru, Sept. 22,
In connection with the murder of Constable Dorgan, the police are seeking the assistance of the public to trace two men who left Timaru on a noisy motor cycle on the night of the murder, and were heard passing through Temuka, Geraldine, Arundel, Ashburton and Chcrtsey, and called at the store at Dunsandel at 8 a.m. for petrol. An elderly storeman took no note of them by which he could recognise them. The tracing of the journey gives interest to a noise something like a pistol shot heard by those standing beside the body of the murdered man in the street, whjch was supposed to be the back-fire of a motor cycle.
