THE HOWICK TRAGEDY.
FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS. FATHER’S LETTER TO SON. (Peb United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 11. Evidently Henry John Milieu, who shot his wife and then himself at Howick on Saturday morning, had decided to end both their lives. In a letter he left to his only son he stated that he was tired of all worry and trouble. “Your uncle will look after you,” the note concluded. The funeral of the two victims of the tragedy took place yesterday afternoon at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Flat Bush, Papatoetoe. A long cortege followed the two hearses, and many friends and relatives awaited the arrival of the funeral at the cemetery, which is situated in a beautiful part of the district. Many floral tributes covered the caskets of the victims.
