“I HAVE KILLED A MAN”
DEAD BODY FOUND. BRISBANE, February 12. A Hughenden message states that an elderly man walked up to Mr A. E. Seaniger in the street, and said: “Can I see vou a moment; I have killed a man?” The stranger was crying, and. kept, repeating: “I don’t know why I did it; poor old George.” Mr Seaniger, thinking the man had been drinking, took little notice of him at first, but he was so persistent that Mr Seaniger accompanied him to the police station. Constable Cuttiford was sent to a camp occupied by George Geary, on the Flinders River, and there ho found Geary lying with his head battered in. He was still breathing, but he died later. In his early days Geary was a carrier, and his wife and son reside in Hughenden. The man who accosted Mr Seaniger was about 60 years of age, and since Christmas has been freely spending his money.
Advice has been received by the Commissioner of Police that an arrest has been made, and that a charge of wilful murder has been preferred.
