AUCKLAND, August 15.

Mrs Davies and Chapman came here from Sydney recently. Davies followed them. Davies had been prowling about after his wife, looking very dangerous. Last night he was observed by the police evidently in a dangerous mood, and he was watched by a policeman and another man. 'Davies, seeing he was being followed, started running, and jumped over a fence into the backyard of Mrs Porter's premises. He pressed his face against the window and then entered the scullery, from where he fired a shot at his wife. She threw herself to the ground and escaped. Davies rushed past her and fired at Chapman. Mrs Porter, entering, ordered Davies off. her premises. He then, in her presence and in the presence of the constable, blew his own brains out.
