■By Telegraph— Copyright).
BLENHEIM, Saturday. In connection with the death of James Flood, the old man whose body was found in a whare at Picton on Friday with the throat cut and wounds in the head, it is understood that Sgt. Peterson detained a suspect in Blenheim and took him to Picton where he is being interrogated. Important developments are now expected. Recent inquiries reveal that some years ago Mr. Flood sold a farming property at Port Underwood to Messrs Barton Bros. for £3000. ».It is believed that it is this money that the old man invested in shares in the Bank of New Zealand and from which he had been drawing dividends.
