MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
WRAPPED IN MYSTERY. (by TELEGRAPH. —PRESS association). Wellington, Last Night. A PECULIAR affair, which is at present wrapped in mystery, was reported to the police this afternoon. A middle-aged man named O. C. Anderson, who occupied a house in Tory-street alone, was found last night lying in bed with his head terribly battered and covered with blood, and his hands out about as though a knife had been drawn through them. His condition is serious, and he can give no account of what happened except incoherent mutterings about the Salvation Army and a man and woman. Anderson has evidently been murderously assaulted, but robbery does not seem the object, as a watch and chain, some money and a deposit receipt for £75 was found on him.
