FOUND MURDERED

GBAZIEK'S SON FOUR BULLET WOUNDS NEW SOUTH WALES CRIME By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received February 14, 11.5 'p.m.) SYDNEY. Feb. 14 With four bullet ..wounds in his body, Mr. Robert King, aged 22, son of a well-known grazier, was found dead to-day on his parents' property at Limbri, 26 miles from Tamworth, which is 282 miles north of Sydney. The police believe Mr. King was murdered yesterday while at the telephone in an outhouse. The telephone' wires had been cut. Mr. King's parents were spending a holiday at Bondi. Prior to finding the body the police were inquiring into a motor-car accident at Aberdeen, 96 miles south of the scene of the murder, and the discovery there of a fully loaded sixchambered revolver.

It transpires that the car concerned in the accident belongs to the King family. It had collided with a tree almost opposite to the local police station.

A young man was arrested to-day at Aberdeen on a formal charge of being in possession of an unlicensed revolver.

The detectives are convinced that Mr. King gallantly struggled with his assailant and that while he was in the act of telephoning for assistance he was shot.
