W es a married man, and had a wife and 3 children. His wife on hearing of the outrage, went accompanied by her daughter, and examined tho body. They wore horri fied to find their fears but too sorrow fully verified. Their irricf on making the dreadful discovery was very touching, and tho police olficei'3 very con siderately forbore from making any importunate requests for information. It was gathered from them that the mur dered man left homo last night about eight o'clock for tho purpose of meeting his wife. It is conjectured that he was returning homo along the New North Road, when tho Fijian came upon him and stealthily dealt the blow on the back of the skull, which must have felled him to tho eart'a at once if it did not actually provo in stantly fatal. Some of tho police arc in clined to believe that the blood-thirsty mis creant donlt two blows, from the manner in which the hat was cut. ON THE TRACK. Sergeants Clarke and Gamble conveyed tho body to tho Eden Vine Hotel, while Sub-Inspector Pardy and Detective Jeffrey, being well mounted, pushed on in pursuit. They rode off at a rapid pace, scouring all tho roads betweon Eden Terrace and tho Wbau, and arousing all the residents in the vicinity. From tho details subsequently obtained they must have passed closely tho placo where the murderer lay concealed, for the scrub is so rankaud impenetrable there, and the loose blocks of scoria interpose such difficulties to travelling, either on foot or horseback, that the man could easily have eluded detection or capturo at that early hour. Amongst the settlers to whom information of the affair was given wo may mention the name of Mr C. B. Stone, inasmuch us this gentleman, from that time up till the period of the cap ture, displayed the utmost alacrity iv prose cuting tho search. Meanwhile, the Sub luspector and the Detective held on their way towards tho Whau. Failing to discover any trace of tho runaway, they at length agreed to divide, and after fixing tho corner of the Kyber Fass Koad aud Symonds-streot as tho place nt which they would meet if uothing rewarded their search, Jeffrey went on towards the block-house; while the Sub luspcctor turned off* into tho old North Road, and came along iv the direction of town. The latter officer met with nothing on his way iv to arrest suspicion, and so cd proceeded down to the Police Station and reported himself to Supt. Thompson, this was about half-past niuc o'clock. Tho Superintenant had directed him to take the most energetic means of continuing the search with redoubled vigilance, and the necessary steps for the carrying out of the order wcro being taken, when Mr C. B. •Stone galloped up ia hot haste and announced that the capture hail been effected. Sub-Inspector Pardy and Mr Stone nt once rode off to the scene of the capture, whither Jofl'ery who had been met in Symonds-street by Mr Stone had preceded them.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

The circumstances undor which tho third assault was committed may be briefly told:— At 8 o'clock this morning ono of the servants of Mr Melville, a gentleman who resides on his own property at Mount Albert, next to Mr Garlick's Ferndale estato, and at the back of Mr Fry's, informed him that a coloured man was skulking iv tbe woodshed. The woodshed, it may be remarked before going further, forms one compartment in a row of outhouses which are detached from the main building. Another compartment is used as a kitchen, and a third as a wash house. The wash-house at the time was occupied by a widow named Mrs Arnold, who had come there early in the morning for the purpose of doing the work at which she is regularly employed by the family. And now to retraco our steps. On being acquainted with the presence of tho man in the shed, Mr Melville at once proceeded thither. On entering it tho native jumped up, and with uplifted axe rushed at the intruder. Mr Melville was entirely unprotected, aud therefore beat a retreat into the house. The native must have followed him out and then stole into tho wash-house with a view of finding refuge there, for a minute or two afterwards be made his appearance there. Mrs Arnold was by herself, and on seeing a native enter furtively with a bloody axe, sho uttered a loud scream of surprise. The native at once pounced upon her, and, after a desperate resistance on her part, threw her down. He struck at her repeatedly with the axe, but she fended off his blows with her arms. The result is that they are painfully hacked about, whilo one severe wound extends across her temple, Her screams brought assistance, nnd at the noise of approaching footsteps the native decamped.

THE CAPTURE.

In the yard he was met by Mr Melville, who assailed him with a log of wood. Seiz ing a convenient opportunity ho struck out with the log and broke the handle of the axe in twain. He then secured the mur derer and tied his hands. Mr Fry, who arrived just then, secured the feet. The latter gentleman then rode off to the Asylum and obtained the assistance of two warders, with whom he returned to Mount Albert. By them the prisoner was removed to the Asylum. He was quivering with fear all the timo, and to one of his querists be vouchsafed the information that he had killed a Maori by cuttinc; his throat.

Bringing the Ruffian in.

Immediately on Mr Stone's arrival at the Police Court,;* trap was procured and Sub-Inspector Partly, accompanied by Mr Stone, drove out in the direction of the Lunatic Asylum. At tho waterworks, they met Detective Joflery bringing the prisoner along in a cart, which had been borrowed for the purpose. The prisoner was immediately transferred to the trap and driven smartly ia. When passing tbe spot where Recce's body was fonnd the murderer pointed to the spot and said " he had killed a white man there by striking him down with an axe from be hind." From the Eden Vine Hotel into the city the streets were lined with men, women,'and children, who poured (from the adjacent houses to catch a glimpse of the savage, and a great concourse gathered at the Police Station.

APPEARANCE OF THIS MURDERER.

Tho prisoner is short—not more than five feet one inch high—thin and miserable in build, with the distinguishing characteristics of the savage of low type. His skin is very dark, his hair a light brown, his eyes very large and prominent, and showing a good deal of white, his nose is broad, his other features pinched. When in the Police station he had the appearance of a scared animal; but other wise looked indifferent, except when the detectives removed the handcuffs, when he watched them with a sharp look. Alto gether he is a miserable looking specimen of humanity. His dress consists of old blue serge trousers, short grey tweed coat, white guernsey, and red sash round his waist. His left hand was considerably cut across the knuckles. Probably the injuries were inflicted in his scramble about among the stones during the night.

WHAT HE SAYS.-HIS CONFESSION

In answer to questions put by Mr Stone on the way in, the naive acknowledged to killing a white man. After reaching the police-station he was thrust into a cell, and a loaf of bread given to him. He tore it with his teeth like a ravenous wild beast. Mr Wilson, who speaks Fijian, went in and spoke to him, and succeeded in making him understand generally the purport of his questions. While speaking, the nativerolled liis head from side to side, gnawing the bread all tbe time. The substance of his replies was that tho white people knocked him about, and that bis head yesterday was swinging round in all directions, and he did not know what was tho matter with him. Tbero is very little doubt that ho had been drinking with some Fiji boys. MR STONE'S ACCOUNT.

Mr C B. Stone informs us that he was called on by Mr Pardy at his residence, Mount Albert, at about half-past six this morning. The Sup-Inspector after asking it any one had been prowling about at night, and being answered in the negative, informed Mr Stone of what had taken place. He requested Mr Stone to saddle his horse and warn all the neighbourhood, because tho murderer was known to be somewhere in the district. Mr Stono did so at once and aftergoingalong one side of the road returned to breakfast. Mr Stone afterwards set out to warn the other ,'sido. On calling at the house of Mr Fry he was informed that that gentleman had gone to the Whan 'to get two warders, because of the neighbours — Mr Mellville had caught dv escaped lunatic. Mr Stone asked if he was a black man, and on being answered in the affirmative, said, " Oh, that man has com mitted murder." He went at once to Mr Melville's. On entering the yard he found the native bound hand aud loot with a clothes - line. Mr Stone saw Mrs Arnold, the washerwoman, who was first jttacked. She was very much hacked

j about otio arm, and had a nasty cut across the forehead. Mr Stone sent across some stuff to dress tho wounds, and then set out for town. He overtook Detective Jeffrey nt tho corner of Kyber Pass Road, ond that , ollioer left for Melville's at once. Mr Stone came in to inform the Inspector and went out with him in one ot Crowthcr's j buggies as already described. On the road I tho wretch in reply to questions by Mr j Stone reiterated, "Me kill Maori," : drawing his hand across his throat ito show, how ho had done it. When they came so tho spot where Reeco body was found. Mr Stone said :*' Hallo, what is that?" Ho Baid "mo know—nic kill !" Referring to bis formercouvcrsatiou, Mr Stone said, "What Maori?" The native replied "No; Me kill this way I" striking his head at tho back, to imitate the blow of an axe. When asked whero the Maori had been killed he pointed on. They drove into town; but on reaching town| ho stopped talking about the Maori, and only directed the police to his lodgings. m

The Assault at Sankey's.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The murderer " Joe" is a native of To Apia, and, according to Mr Thurston, of Fiji, who is now staying at Russell's Board iug House, Hobson-strcct, the man belongs to the most treacherous and murderous tribe in the group. A fact which seems to indicate that the murder was premeditated is. that on Sunday the Fijian asked Gibson Willcott, a boy aged about 11, if he would request his father to buy him a small toma hawk of the pattern in the possession of souio of tho other Fijiaus in Auckland. Tho boy promisod to .convey the message, but appears to have forgotten. On Monday night a few minutes before committing the murderous assault the Fijian asked the boy if he had delivered tho message, and was answored iv the negative. " But will you ask him?" said tho Fijian. "Yes, I will," replied tho boy. This conversation took place iv Fijian, with which tho hoy is fami liar, from his residence In tho Islands. THE MURDEROUS ASSAULT. Between oight and nine o'clock last night Richard Sankcy, aged 14, Daniel Sankey, aged 11, and Gibson Wilcott, also aged 11, wore sitting at a table in the kitchen play ing a game of cribbago. The residence of Mr Sankcy is the first houso on tho right hand side iv Rokoby-strcct. Tho kitchen is situated at the back of tho house. A passage loads from tho back door right through to tho front verandah. Tho back door opens closo to the side door leading from the passage into tho kitchen. The table was placed close to the entrance from the passage, aud against a wiudow lookiug out from the kitchen into tho back yard, but there was barely room for a chair between the table and the kitchen door. Richard Sankey was seated in this chair, with his back towards the kitchen door, which opens inwards. Daniel Sankcy sat in tho middle of the table, with his faco to the window and his side turned towards anyone entering the kitchen. Gib son Willcotts, the lad who was most in jured, siit at the other end of the table facing the entrance to the kitchen. The boys had played several cames of cribbago when the conversation took place] about the tomahawk. The Fijian went out into the yard afterwards, but had not boen gone mors than a minute when he was heard call ing out to Gibson Willcott to come outside. The boy replied to his summons, "No ; I shall not come." The Fijian called him again. Gibsou Willcott's suspicions were aroused by something in the (Fijian's tone, and he remarked, " Look out, Dick, there is something the matter," One of'thc boys describes the mau's voice as loud aud im perious. THE ATTACK ON THE BOYS.

In another instant the Fijian quietly entered tho room. Ho passed the boy Richard, who was partly screened by tho door, but immediately aimed a blow with an axo, which he had taken from the yard, at Daniel Sankey. Tbe axe is a broad one, with a short handle, which the Fijian had used to cut firewood. He was also other wise engaged at times in cleaning boots and knives, and doing little odd jobs about the house. The axe struck Richard Sankey on the cheek, only inflicting a graze, and scarcely penetrating the skin, but leaving a mark, which the boy showed our reporter this morning. The Fijian struck him a second blow across the back, again pro bably with tho back or side of the weapon, inflicting a contusion, from which the boy suffers somewhat. A third blow struck the boy on tho arm, and he fell under the table. The Fijian next attacked the third boy, Gibson Willcott, aiming a desperate blow with the axe at his skull, and penetrating|the " dura.mater," Mean time Richard Sankey bad run out of the kitchen and raised an alarm. His cries caused the Fijian to beat a precipitated retreat beforo he had completely accom plished his fiendish purpose. *| The two boys, Daniel Sankey and Gibson Wilcott, rose from the floor, which was sprinkled with blood, and escaping through a bed-room adjoining the kitchen made their way to the verandah. Mr Sankey was in the dining-room at the time of the attack, and. owing to the incohcrency of |his son Dick Sankey was tor some minutes unable to gather'any thing like an intelligible idea of what had occurred, and when ho reached tho kitchen the Fijian had disappeared. Mr Sankey at onco despatched. Richard Sankey for a doctor, and Dr. Hooper was speedily in attendance. He found a deep gash on the head of the boy Gibson, and a portion of the brain protruding.

HIS CONDITION THIS MORNING,

When our reporter visited the residence of Mr Sankey this morning traces of the murderous assault were still visible. Spots of blood were freely sprinkled about the verandab,marking|tho flight of tho two boys in their retreat from the kitchen. Tbe traces of the assault in the kitcken itself had been removed. Mr Sankey's wife and daughters, who had been in unremitting attendance on the poor boy during the night, were evidently in a state of extreme agita tion and weariness, and our reporter was obliged, out of consideration for their con dition, to abridge his inquiries. The sufferer was conscious and was able to con verse with his father, and in answer to questions said he did nit feel any pain. We regret to say, however, that the wound on the head is so serious that but small hopes aro entertained of his recovery.

The Capture of the Murderer.

MR MELVILLE'S STATEMENT.

Our reporter interviewed Mr Thomas Mellville at his house, off the Mount Albert main road, to-day, and ascertained from him tho following particulars:—Mr Melville, who treated our represen tative with the utmost courtesy, is an invalid, and resides on his own property in a pleasant locality next to Mr Garlick's Ferndale estate. Mrs Arnold, a widow, who is employed to do the washing of tho family, went from her house, near the Asylum, to Mr Melville's at eight o'clock this morning to begin work. When she reached the wash-house, a detached wooden building, a short distance away from the side of the house, and sep arated from the front garden by a fence, she fonnd a Fijian native ensconced therein. Mr Arnold had formerly resided some years in Fiji, aud knows the language, and therefore at once recognised the intruder as a South Sea Islander. According to her own statement to Mr Melville, she surmised that the native had been engaged to cut wood. In her usual kind-hearted way she invited him to take a seat, and then asked him if he had come_ to cut wood. Ke replied loconically " Yes iv English. Mrs Arnold shortly afterwards went outside to hang clothes on the line, and during her absence the domestic servant Lizzy Braithwaite, had occasion to go to the wood and coal house, which is under the same root as the wash-house, when she ivas suddenly startled by seeing the dark ugly vizage of a "blackfellow peering at her round the door-way of the wash-house. She was ranch frightened, and ran inside and gave the alarm. What followed may bo told iv Mr Melville's own words, taken down on the spot. "My wife told me that there was a blackman in the wash-house, and that the servant bad been frightened at seeing him "looking out. Tliat would be after eight o'clock. I dressed as quickly as possible and came out to the wash-house. |I saw the black fellow standing iv the corner near the door. He was standing straight upright, his body hidden inside the corner of the building, and his head peering out. I saw that he held one hand behind him, and from what transpired after- Wards I believe he must havo "been endeavouring to conceal the axe. I asked him what he wanted. (Mr Mel ville pointed out their respective positions. He had entered the wash-house, and-was standing close to the Fijiau). He made no reply. Imagining he was a half-witted Maori, and had been seekine shelter for the night, I took him by tho collar of his coat, and gently showed him the way outside I waa not rough to him. Then I saw that

he had an axo in his hand and I stepped back a pace or two.

THE ENCOUNTER.

. He immediately advanced towards rao and aimed a blow at mo with the axe. I ran into the house by the back door, (about a dozen yards from the wash-house), very narrowly escaping the blow aimed ut me as ho ran after me. I had no sooner got into the house than I heard a noiso as if ho were attacking someone outside.

Coming out again at once, I saw that he had knocked down the washerwoman. She was lying outside the wash-house, and close to the sido of it. She told mo after wards that she had struggled with the fellow and tried to keep his axe back, but when she got hold ot his axe he rushed away and caught up a small axe close by that is used for breakiug lumps of coal. He struck her with the small axo perpen dicularly in a line with the nose, Inflicting a.i ugly gash. He then struck her again iuflicting a frightful wound in her arm, which 1 believe is broken. When he saw me approaching herelinguishodhis attack on her and prepared to meet mo. I ran and pickodup thatpieceof wood that you see over there. (Half a stick of ti tree about six inches in diameter, and five or six feet in length, and weighing about 301b5.) The piece of wood wasauawkward thing tohandlo but would bo very effeclivo against an as sailant in the hands of a strong man. Mr Melville is unfortunately an invalid, but ho mado up for want of strength by the resolu. tion with which he was nervud by the emer gency of tho situation). When I picked up this piece of wood ho was over thcro (two yards away). He was not Within striking distaucc, This would appear very light then, but it appears very heavy now. I aimed a blow with this at his head and ho aimed a blow at mine. I raised the picco of wood upwards from the ground, in order to meet his blow, which knocked the wood out of my hand. 1 picked it up as quickly as possible just as ho was aiming another blow at me with the axe. I agaiu struck at him from the ground, ond as his blow doscouded tho handle of tho axo broke short off near tho head. My wite says tho handlo was a littlo worn, perhaps with chop ping. Seeing ho had only tho handlo of the axo iv his hand, I aimed another blow with tho wood at his head. This time I hit him, and knocked him down. I aimed anothor blow at his head and struck him again. I was determined to make sure of him. Ho put up his hands to prevent it, and I thiuk tho blow cowed him. I did not hit him with all my forco as I was afraid 1 should kill him. I then Shouted lustily for a rope to bind his hands. FRIG HTENED OF THE REV OLER.

My wife came out with my rovolvcr, at the sight of which he held up his hands as pleading for his life, mado signs, and said somothiug ia his own tongue. He pointed away to a distance, and I under stood him to mean that ho was willing to go quietly. My wife then brought me a rope, with which I tied his hands firmly. I then got the nssistanco of Messrs Appleby, tadgrove, aud Fry. Wo did not know of tho murder, and thinking ho might bo an escaped lunatic, Mr Fry rode off for two warders. They camo and pinioned tho man firmly and took him to town. I then conveyed Mrs Arnold in a vehicle to tho Asylum, which is the nearest placo where her wounds could rcccivo surgical attention So far as I could gather they were not a very dangerous character. Mr Mclvillo drew our attention to the sprinklings of blood on the verandah, where tho woman had taken refuge when woundod. THE WEAPONS.

It is.clearfrom thefactsasccrtsincdthat tho axo which the murdeicruscd in his attack on Mr Kceoe was not the same as that with which he assailed the boyß. The first was a squaring axe, as already detcibed, the second an ordinary Ametican axe, which appeared to have been a good deal used. When it was brought ',o tho police guard-room wrapped in a newspaper, and there was blood and clotted hair on it.

The Murdered Man.

Henry Recce, the murdered man, is the nncle of Mr Rcdshaw, who owns tho boil ing-down establishment near Moruingsidc. He resided with his wife and two younger children in ono of three wooden cottage which stand at the top of tho hill above tho Wesleyan Chapel, and opposite the storo of Mr Small, a grocer. His cdlest daughter is out at service. Some time ago he was employed in con nection with his nephew's business, but latterly he had been obliged to revert to his own trade, viz., that of a fishmonger. Any odd jobs which came in his way he was willing to perform. He was a sober and by no means quarrelsome man—very much attached to his family, and of industrious habits. Yester day afternoon Mrs Recce left by tho train for town in order to transact Borne business, and she was expected to return about tea time. As, however, she had not made her appearance up till 8 o'clock, her unfortunate husband started from home in tbe hope of meeting her on the road. By some mischance thoy missed cachothe-,and whenMrsßeece arrived three quarters of an hour later she learnt from tho children that their father bad left in search ot her. Thinking that he could not bo far away on his return, she despatched one of her girls to run down the hill and meet him. The little girl went a distance of 300 or 400 (yards along the deserted thorough fare, and then perceiving no one about she began to retrace her steps. Suddenly she perceived a little man trudging along in front of her with an axe over his shoulder. He must have been crouching amongst the scrub when she passed on her way down the hill, and made his appearance immediately afterwards. She observed that he was black and bare footed, and thoroughly alarmed by such a queer figure, she dashed by him at the top of her speed, nor stopped an instant till she regained the parental roof tree. Her father, at that time, must have been lying dead upon the roadway, about a quarter of a mile further along, and her childi_.li feats had preserved her from an encounter with the ruthless murderer. He evidently continued on his way, for many of the settlers aver that their dogs barked furiously about that time. The little girl told her mother of the fruitless search, and the little household spent a sleepless night. Before seven o'clock in the morning, tho mother and youngest daughter set out for the purpose of gleaning some tidings of the absent one. They heard that a murdered man, whose identity was not known, was lying at the Eden Vine Hotel, and thither accordingly they directed their Bteps. We need not attempt any description of tho pitiable seen? which followed tho recognition of tho disligured corpse. Suffice it to say that the agony of the poor woman was intense.

THE SCENE OF THE MURDER is about 100 yards distant from the junction of the New North Road with the Mount Ko .kill Road. A long line of green trees extend along ono side ot the thoroughfare to a slight turn just before the Wes'eyan Chapel. N.arly oppo site the houso of Mr Patterson the crime was perpetrated. Recce was near-sighted, and he must have been returning home when the escaping native came up with him. It is evident that he crept up_ noise lessly behind the poor fellow, and with one mvi derous stroke felled him to the earth. The surrounding grounds, and little pools of water are marked and discoloured with blood, but there are no footprints to denote a struggle. Since daybreak the sod has been turned up by some person, and the spot has been visited by largo numbers of curious sight-seers. THE CORPSE. Tho body as it lies stretched out upon a bench, in a building at the rear of tho hotel, presents a dreadful appearance. One eye is open and the other closed, while the head and hair are steeped in clotted gore The deadly wound is concealed from viow by the position in which the remains are laid out. The sight is a sickening one, and yet more than a hundred people have pressed in to see it to-day. Constable McConnell has been placed iv charge.
