A WHOLESALE ASSASSIN.
A telegram to a Sydney paper says “At Gundagai there i 3 a suspicion, which seems growing into certainty, that the man Sraidt, the self-confessed Wagga murderer, is a wholesale assassin. The man Jacob Rick, who disappeared some six months ago, has now been almost conclusively proved to hav6 been in company with Smidt, whilst the watch and chain found on the latter have been identified as having belonged to Rick. Then there is the crimo known as the Jillengroe murder, committed in 1888. It has been ascertained that Smidt was in the neighbourhood at the time, and the police and black trackers are hard at work examining the rocky country round Gundagai. It is nob improbable that, as a result of theirlabours, a startling story of bloodshed wilt, j be shortly revealed.”
