MURDER ON A BATTLESHIP.
AN AUCKLAND SENSATION. RESULT OF A QUARREL. BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, August 16. It has transpired that a murder was committed aboard one of the AmeriI can 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 the three mile limit, but it is believed now, as the result of inquiries, that he will be taken back to America in irons and there tried.
