MURDER ON ONE OF THE SHIPS
NEGRO FIREMAN KILLED
[Pek Press Association.] AUCKLAND, August 16
It has transpired that a murder was committed aboard one of the American battleships during the stay in Auckland. Two negro firemen quarrelled and one slashed the other across the stomach with a razor so severely that death ensued. It was rumoured that the murderer was to be hanged when the vessels had got outside tho threemilo limit, but it is believed now, as the result of inquiries, that he will be taken back to America in irons and there tried.
