DETECTIVE KIRBY.
(PESS ASSOCIATION TJSLEGRAM.)
WELLINGTON, J>ne 3. A resident here states that he saw Kirby disguised in Mplesworth street on Monday night, but the'police think it unlikely, though they believe he is still in Wellington. It is stated that a large case was put on the Talune at'the last moment, which went on the top of tha rest of the cargo in the main hatch. The constable who was watching for Kirby remembers seeing this ease, bat there was nothing suspicions about it. A nephew of Kirby'a was a passenger >y the vessel. Kirby was by no means popular in the force, and had made himself extremely disliked by bis conduct towards those he had to work with. By those who understand the feeling towards him the idea of connivance is scouted. Tbe morning paper goes to far as to say that there is only one policeman in the force suspected of having any sympathy with the ex-detective.
