CHARGE OF MURDER.
SEARCH MADE FOR HUDSON. P«r Preu Association. OAMARU, April 27. A warrant was issued by the Kurow bench to-day charging Philip Richard Hudson, a university student, with murdering Olive Jean Rutherford. Search was continued to-day but no trace of Hudson was found. It is still believed that he has been drowned in the Waitaki river, though it is quite possible he swam the river and got into the hill country on the other side. As he was without food, however, he could not survive for muny days.
A motor car driven by Hudson, with whom was Olive aged 17, went over 'a cliff between Kurow and Oamaru last Wednesday and was badly smashed on tho rocks 13U feet below. Tho girl was found on a ledge 20 feet higher up in a serious condition and died later after an operation. There was no trace of Hudson, who is a son of a Dunedin merchant.
