A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
[BY telegraph.—press association J FehJMNQ, Thursday. A man named Frederick Hasse, aged 28, committed suicide at 6.30 a.m. to-day, by blowing himself up with dynamite in an old whare at Taonui, a few miles from Feilding. The whare had a wooden chimney, which was completely blown out, and the room presented a terrible spectacle. Yesterday the deceased purchased a coil of dynamite fuse and some dynamite in Feilding. He was well-known as a quiet, inoffensive, hard-working man, and had no enemies. On the body was found a letter addressed to his mother, brothers, and sisters, stating that a certain person named had been accusing him of things he never did, and he was going to another land. He also left a document, evidently intended as a will, leaving certain sums of money owing to deceased to his relatives.
