THE PUKEKAWA TRAGEDY.
■ . . • AUCKLAND, this day. Eyre's* home is iv cultivated paddocks recently ploughed. There is nO footprint on this or on the space between it and the window from which the shot was fired! There was outside of. the window a small truck on*wlieels, etandimg on which a man of medium height could rest a gun barrel on the .window ledge. The evidence points to the shot being fired at close quarters, probably from a double-barrelled shot gun. There were one or two guns m the house, but they showed no evidence of having been recently discharged. The murderer evidently took away with him the weapon \vjith which the crime was committed. There are no further developments. — PreßS Assn. ■ ■ ■ •
