A TRAGEDY AT EPPING.
| “IT’S THEIR OWN FAULT!” Sydney, October 31. A mysterious tragedy has occurred at Epping. Three recent immigrants named Belcher, Blunden and Rosen, who were hoarding with a friend, were breakfasting, when Belcher suddenly rose, and went into an adjoining room. Returning with a revolver, he shot Rosen dead, and a second shot inflicted a flesh wound on Bin mien's neck. The thrid shot missed. Belcher then escaped, and the police are searching for him. The party were -on the friendliest terms, and there is nothing to explain the tragedy, excepting that Belcher was sometimes peculiar in his manner.
Sydney, November 1. Belcher was remanded on a charge of murder. In reply to a question, he declared: “It’s their own fauß; they’ve led me such a life this three months.”
