THE TIMARU ALLEGED POISONER.
A SUGGESTIVE AND SENSATIONAL
PARAGRAPH. The following suggestive and sensational paragraph is from the Evening Post :—: — "Many Wellington people will remember Mr. E. H. Ta'te, formerly of the Union Bank in Wellington, and for a long time a prominent member o£ St. Peter's Vestry. He afterwards removed to Timaru, and entered into partnership with Mr. Thomas Hall. Recent disclosures in connection with the latter have served to unpleasantly recall the melancholy death of Mr. Tnte Borne six years ago. when he was found lying in a paddock under circumstances which suggested that he had in a moment of temporary aberration of intellect, yielded to the pressure of financial embarrassments, and sought release from them and from existence together, by taking poison. Mr. Tate's whole life and conduct was so opposed to the idea that he had committed self-destruction that great numbers of his friends absolutely refused o believe that his death was due to his own act. The number of those who doubt whether poison was self -ad ministered is now largely increased. 1 '
