A Peculiar Death.
[Per Press Association.] NAPIER, Last Night,
A stevedore named John MeGarry met his death in a strange manner tonight. After knocking off work he was under the influence of liquor, and at 8 o ’clock was found quite dead in Hardingo Road with his head through a picket fence. He had evidently fallen asleep and been strangled. Several passers-by noticed him, but had no idea he was dead.
