EARLY MORNING INCIDENT
INJURED MAN TRACED BY BLOODSTAINS DEEP WOUND AS RESULT OF FALL (By Telegraph—Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. With his clothing saturated with blood and blood oozing from his shoes a young man staggered up to a taxi driver in Boulcott street in the early hours of the morning and demanded to be driven to his home. Such was his condition, however, that the taxi driver refused to let him enter the vehicle. Telling the driver to say nothing about the occurrence the man disappeared. The man was later traced by a trail of bloodstained footsteps until he was found lying on a footpath. He was taken to hospital where he was treated for a deep wound which he had sustained as the result of a bad fall. He had apparently walked some three miles before losing consciousness as the result of loss of blood.
