“NAVAL ARREST”
FATAL SHOOTING OF SEAMAN SHIP’S COMMANDER PREVENTS POLICE ACTION BRISBANE, May 3. A nineteen-year-old seaman is under “naval arrest” in connection with the death of a seaman named Dickinson, fatally shot in the temple on the warship Dorsetshire, when she was steaming up the Queensland coast. The ship’s commander is understood to have prevented the Queensland detectives from intervening or even investigating the shooting on the ground that it ocurred on the high seas and was outside the jurisdiction of the Queensland police.
