MURDER PROBLEM.
PUZZLE FOR POLICE. Per Press Association. YVHANGAREI, June 13. The police are still puzzled over the murder of Ernest Nelson and realise that they are up against a difficult problem. YVads found near the body show that the gun used was a 12-bore, which is a common type and provides little help. Many of the Maoris in the vicinity have an imperfect knowledge of English, which makes questioningdifficult and unprofitable. A Maori-speaking detective has now arrived. ... The funeral of the victim of the murder took place at Kawakawa yesterday and the esteem in which lie was lield was evidenced by the large gathering of Europeans and Maoris.
