A GRAVE DESECRATOR.
REVOLTING WAIROA CASE
1 United Press Association.]
Walroa, Mny 27
Edwards, in addition to confessing i^o deseci'ating a grave, admitted tampering with another grave some time ago. He had evidently re-filled it, but so badly that the sexton w^s misled to thinking that it was merely a usual subsidence. Tt is assumed that ho also broke a second coffin, ;:s a screw was found in tho loose earth. s Accused was medically" examined, nml though ho is not insanr, his record is so bad that it is doubtful if he is fit to plead. (This is the first information tolegrnphod to us in regfird to the matter. Apparently n previous. me%ssage has not been forwarded by the Press Association to Nelson.)
