Macartney, Secretary of the Legation, denies that the doctor was inveigled or enticed into his' ohamber, but says he was simply detained, when he voluntarily visited the Legation. Sunyetsun's friends, however, insist that he. was seized and carried inside. . , /* Another account is that two Chinese, after a conversation, were persuaded to visit lodgings which the Embassy had secured ; also that an application was made to a Judge m Chambers, who declared he was unable to interfere. Detectives are said to be on the watch day and night to prevent those detained being smuggled oo board a vessel.

The Fetone Murder.

— ■ The Wellington Evening Post of last night ■ays: — "Although the police are very reticent, it hat leaked out that an important clue has been obtained by them m connec tion with the recent murder of Mr and Mrs Jonea at Petone. Suspicion has for the last month been accumulating against a man who is now m custody on another charge. The matter culminated the other day when a woman, who was living with this man, m the belief that she was his lawful wife, dis covered, as the police ascertained before her, that he had another wife stiil alive m New Zealand. The result has been that an information for bigamy haa been privately laid against him by this woman, who has also made other statements to the police. According lo her statement- her supposed husband rußhed into the house m an excited manner on the Saturday or Sunday after the murder, and stated that the police were looking for ft knife. He asked her to te:l them, if they came for him, that he was not m, and then went out. The remark struck her as peculiar, and, remembering that- she had seena knife m the house on the previous Thursday or Friday she began to search for it, but soon ascertained that it had gone. The police have m their, possession the case of that knife, but the weapon itself is not to be found. Searches long and elaborate have been made, but the knife cannot so far be discovered, liven if it were found it would not be conclusive evidence of guilt* buc it might form an important link m the ohain of circumstantial evidence.
