Dr. Salmond, of Feilding, said that the wound was consistent with a bullet having been fired from a pea-rifle at close range. He. had formed the opinion that the wound was self-inflicted, and that death had taken place not longer than two hours before the discovery of the body. Frank Kalin, contractor, who discovered the body, said the pea-rifle was his and had been borrowed by the deceased on Sunday to go duck-shooting.
