CHEAP BLACK LIVES
POLICE CRITICISED INQUIRY AT ADELAIDE Reed. 11 a.m. ADELAIDE, To-day. During the cross-examination of Constable Murray, the chairman of the board which is inquiring into the killing of 31 blacks in Central Australia, strongly criticised the casualness with which the police reports treated the taking of the blacks’ lives. Constable Murray’s superior at. Alice Springs, Sergeant Noblet, was submitted to a raking cross-examination by the chairman. He admitted tha!t he had not verified Constable Murray’s report. He said he had no record of the names of the blacks killed, as he did not think it was necessary. The hoard then examined William Morton, who bore a scar extending from the top of his head to his neck—evidence of how he nearly lost his life when the natives attacked him.
