THE GLEBE MURDER.

A STARTLING STATEMENT,

Sydney, December I. At the trial of Moir, charged with murdering Trevascus, Constable Ramsay gave evidence that while Moir was detained in the Melbourne lock-up, ho (Ramsay) asked him how he got into this trouble. Moir replied, “I will tell you in confidence,” and went on to state that on the Saturday before the murder he met a man named Cordrien, and proposed to him to rob Trevascus. Tire morning of the murder he visited Trevascus and intro-, duced Cordrien. When Trevascusback was turned, Cordrien hit him on the head with an iron bar. Trevascus fell to the floor. ; Moir then went downstairs and borrowed a paper from a girl. He did this as a blind. Ho then left the building and watched till Cordrien came out. Cordrien gave Moir £25 of the £SO he got from Trevascus. He supposed Cordrien cut Trevascus’ throat, but ho did not see him. Before the separation they agreed that if either was caught the other would not “squeak.” The police gave evidence that all efforts to trace Moir’s alleged accomplice have been fruitless.
