MOSSVALE TRAGEDY.
FURTHER DETAILS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn Copjrlght. Sydney, Deo. 20. When the police got into telephonic communication with Labarto after the tragedy, the only information he would give them was, ''l've gone over the line." He repeated this several times. When the police first arrived they searched the house, but failed to find Labarte, who on the second visit shot Mitchell. The exchange of shots was maintained till Labarte's ammunition was exhausted. Five revolvers, a rifle 4 and shot-guns were found in the house. Labarte is the son of Canon Labarte, of Melbourne. He was highly popular and won the M.C. at the war. His wife was a daughter of a prominent Melbourne lawyer. They lived on affectionate terms and the only explanation of the crime is dementia.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
