THE TRAGEDY AT A SYDNEY CEMETERY.
« NO TRACE OF THE FUGITIVE AS YET. HE ADMITTED HIS CRIME TO A PRIEST. [PEESS ASSOCIATION.] Sydney, 14th March. At the inquest on the body of King, the sexton, who was murdered at the Rookwood Cemetery on Saturday, a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against Cusack, the cemetery employe, who it is alleged by Mrs. King committed the deed. A Catholic priest gave evidence that Cusack came to him after the tragedy and virtually admitted the crime, and begged for slight financial assistance. The priest urged him to surrender to the police, but he refused. The clergyman thereupon informed the police. There is no trace of the murderer yet. Mrs. King is slightly better. If she recovers she will be paralysed in her legs for the rest of her life.
