WUBIN OUTRAGE
FURTHER DETAILS HULME UNDER ARREST. [ Australian Press Assn. J PERTH, June 25. With reference to the Wubin outrage reported yesterday, another daughter, Elsie, aged 10, states that Hulme tried to strangle her when she attempted to intervene. Mrs. Smith was released from the bedpost by Elsie and walked nine miles next morning to the nearest neighbour, where she collapsed. All the victims are in hospital in a very grave condition. Hulme is now under arrest. He told the police that he shot Smith while the latter was driving a tractor, adding that his mind was a blank after that, but he remembered changing his clothes and walking 23 miles to Wubin and then entraining for Dalwallinu. Hulme was born at Lord Lascelles’ estate in England and had been in Australia for five years. He does not appear to realise the gravity of the charge.
