Determined Suicide.
UNREQUITED LOVE. [Per Press Association.] Auckland, June 18. Bernard Jones, a Naval Artillery man, shot himself last night, with his carbine, in his bedroom, owing to a love affair with a girl named Mary Ann McKenna, who was leaving Auckland to-day. She was engaged to another young man. The bullet entered his breast, over the heart, coming out at the shoulder blade, and striking the wall. Jones died at nine o’clock last night. He met the girl in the street about five o’clock, and bade her good bye, saying that she would never see him alive again. He had been drinking.
