THE ANDERSON MURDER.
A YOUTH ARRESTED. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright 1 [United Press Association.] (Received 9.20 a.m.) , Melbourne, October 2. A youth named Clarence Freeman, 14 years of age, who is almost deaf and dumb and mentally deficient, has been arrested for wilfully murdering Anderson. The police accompanied the arrestee to the scene of the tragedy, and by medium of signs interpreted by his step-brother, Freeman indicated that he, Anderson, and a third boy were Uird-nestiug, when the last named deliberately shot Anderson while up a tree, that he then severed the bead from the body. The police discredited the theory of a third boy, and have ascertained that Freeman had a grudge against Anderson for rabbiting on his father’s land, and had twice threatened to shoot him.
