THE TASMANIAN TRAGEDY
LAUNCESTON, August 13,
The inquest on the body of the murdered farmer Mullins has concluded. As a result of the jury's verdict Daniel Jones, farmer, residing in the district, was charged with the murder, and his wife, Jane Elizabeth Jones, with being an accessory after the fact.
The chief points in the evidence against Jones and his wife were a longstanding feud over land and other matters with Mullins, the alleged bootmarks of Jones, and his horse tracks in the vicinity of the fire, his suspicious movements on the day of the murder, and his refusal to assist in the search for Mullins.
