THE TRAGEDY IN DUNEDIN.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Statement by Mr Stephenson.

DUNEUIN, this day.

Tun father of Mis Stephenson, who i? a painter, in the employ of Fish & Son, makes the folbwiDg statement:—The de ceased, Mary Stephenson, wss my daughter. She married Timothy Stephenson ten years ago. They were acquainted fully twelve months before marriage, but I never liked Mr Stiphenson, and if my daughter had accepted my advice ebe would have ben saved a lot of trouble. After marriage by Ksv. Dr. Stuart, they proceeded to Cromwell, where i^tepbenson engaged in quartz-mining for about nine months. My duu-liter and her husband returned to Duucdin, and they lived with me until they took up a bouse of their own 7 years a^o. They resided in a hone be longiog to me at the back of my house. Stepheuton wa never steady from the time of bis mania:e, and my daughter had to support her self. There were three children born of the marriage. One of them (a little boy) died, and tke two others (a boy aged 10 years, and a g'rl aged 6 years) are living with me. Stepbenson recently did bo work, to my knowledge, in Dunedio, and did nothing to support his' wife and children. At the time of her death my daughter's age was 33. Four years ago Stophenson went to the North Island—he eald to ace and buy Had at Tauranga. Ho- wanted to bor row money from me before he went, but I declined to trust him with any, because I knew hid character so well. He then told his wife " If he came back biokc he would cut all our throats and his own at the same time," When my daughter heard he was coming back lrom Buckland she got out a protection order. It is now over two years since he came back from the North. When ha was io Aucklaud, I understood Government gave him something to do in the way of purchasing land. Ever cipco his return he has always bren u.olesting hit wife. My daughter used to give him a Jit:le money to keep him <ju:ef, Stc sup plied him with over £30 merely ior the pur. po:o of keepra" him quiet. He went away, and when the money was done he came back and kicked up a row for more. He watched his wife every night when she c.me out of the shop, and also blackguarded her coming along the street, He h'-s been in the habit of watchiug her nighily from Saundert) ana Mclieith's until the reached her own home. I Have hid to f,o down and see her home many a night, owing to bis misconduct. He wai bound over to kesp ! the peace for twelve months, but what was the good '*. It only s-. emed to encourage bim, in my opinion, aa be bad nothing, aud wr i merely bound over in his own securi ties. I tave never heard of the dcc«a id man making threats against bis wife. During the last week or month be troubled her every eight, and came up purely to molest her and ma at the spme time. Be was not unusually under the irtluence ol liquor. There wai nothing but devil in him, He wa i about 35 years of »3«. He wsslast teen at the bouse on Thursday, between two and three o'cLck in the after moil, He askrd for the " rmssuo." Mj mi sus went to the door, and he said he wanted to have some correspondence witb her, and to speak to her. She told him she did not with to have anything to say to him. He then went away making no reply. I have not seen him since Thursday after, n-on. He tormented my daughter on Wcdnr.day. She took the Mo ruing ton train to come up a < far aa the foot of Mail land-street. He saw her going into the tramcar, and could not get in, so he ran after the tram and met iier coming round the corner of Suiterd-st eet. He said he had no money and bad nothing to eat, and wanted her to gi and live with, bim and keep him. I Cuuid not say what reply | she made. It wa < very seldom she made any reply to him. As far ai is krown s'ie did not see him between Wednesday night aud to-nighr. My daughter never seemed to be afraid of anything of tb:« kind, as he never previously showed any disposition to act in this terrible direction, but I be lieve when he vm taken up and got 1 days in gaol he said to her, " one of them must die !" That is about 5 months ago. My daughter always left home about baif past ei«ht in the morning. As a rule she took lunch with her, and returned home at half-past C p.m. When she left this morning she appeared to be in as good spirits as usual. My daughter tried to be a3 cheerful ss possible, but her life was hard and it ' was very lad for her to be cheerful. She had nothiDg else bu* her husband's conduct te trouble her, The two children were alwajs healthy and well behaved. She seemcl to take a lively interest in thrm. It was about 7 o'clock to-night when Blair came aud told me that something had h.ppened. I went to the ecenc, and found th .t tbe report was too true. When I ai.ivid in Manor Placo, the bodies were beitf? re moved to the morgue. The tcooe of the occurrence Is about SO yards from tbe late residence of Mn Stephenson,

Statement by a Companion.

Marion Cor field, bead mill iner at Saundcrs, McKcath, and Co.'a, atates that yesterday evening she ami deceased left that establish* meattogether at 6.5 p. m. and in Princes-street were ovcrt»kon by Stephejson, who went to bis wile's side, and spoke about tht children. He complained to her of being refused to see the children. He was very agitated, Mrs Stephenson did not speak to . ber husband. She left them at the corner of Melville-street. It is tup potcd that he held her by the neck whilst holding the cartridge with bis ltft hand, He was beard to declare that he would mako New Zealand rlo1 * with his wrongs. It is kuowa that he addr ssed the Govern, meet on 'he hardships inflicted by tbe Married Women's Property Act, and hoped this se' lion ro see it amended in the direc tion ol .granting teheaiiogs and relative custody of children. .-. 11

THE INQUEST.

On Saturday evening, the inqiest on the two victims of the traj-dy took place, when Mr Stenhouse and Misi Corfield ga»e evidence similar in effect to that contained in their statements given above. Andrew Turnbull Anderson, lrother-in law of Stephenson, sold that deceased had been very despondent of late over bis domestic troubles. Had heard him say, after he had been refuted to see hfa children, "Don't be surprised if they find me dead on their door-step come morning." It was nothing unusual tor deceased to have dynamite, he being a miner. Robert Gray rated that after Miss Corficld left Stepbeoson and his wife.he noticed that Stepben-on followed his w.'fe and caught up to her. Wit'jna then lost sight ot them, mid proceeded down Manor Place, lie afterwards heard & -re. at, but did not know the a >nse. Mrs Stspbenaon did not appear frightened, and her husband waa quite sober. Archibald Cargill deposed that he was standing at his own dqoria i\Unor Pipie about 6 r-'D-t and saw what appeared to be a f quit) twirled in tbe air, While tbis was jjoinK on there were two very loud shrieks in a female voice, then followed a tremen dous Wast like tbe discharge of a, gun, He ran up the street and passed two figures, one in a standing ivni the other in a sitting posture. Both figures were headless, and toe recumbent iijjur c wa3 that of the woman, After further evidence, tbe coroner summed up, and the jury found a verdict that the decea:ed Stephenson and his wife met their death by a dynamite cartridge fired by Stephenson, but there was not sufficient evidence to show what state of mind he was in, They added a rider, to the effect that no porson should be allowed to purchase or we dynamite without a license.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PHYSIOGNOMY.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —In Mr Laisblev's admirable but sotua what incomplete letter of Friday night there Is one omission which might be made good. Mr Lalehtey has not given us tho exact quotations from Aristotle and Lavater. whom he mentions as agreeing with himself on the subject of physiognomy. Will he tell me where to find the passages referred to, or, still better, quote them in fall, and oblige, youre, etc, Staoibitk.

(To the Editor.)

giE,—l was not a little delighted to see a letter in Friday evening's iesue on my favourite subject, Physiognomy. It ia the noblest Btudy next to religion itself that can be entertained by the human mind. Its highest altitudes link Itself with the diWnfl, and its humbler domaino take in all breath* in? creation. It ia its provinco to read ser mons in stones, and see good in everything. The physiognomist, I might even venture

to aceeit, mast become in the very nature of thinj-g, a philanthropist—a religionist Physiognomy is the mightiest champion and witne:s for God and religion. It, is the rnoit immediate an<l direct opponent of that social and moral enemy of mankind especially in our time, Atheism. Physio-r! nomy, siys I, sees good in man', an°d ■where there is good there must exist an author of good, even God, who is the re warder of good &nd evil. The lo:3 (always in decree) of physiognomical Eeneation, as JLavater cilh it, in man, is asco maDy steps into misery of mind on the one hand, of biutal coarsened on the other, of nerv> ons U£ele?sne:3 and pitiful Mdelity The Atheist begins by doubting his own goodness and sinctrity; secondly, by questioning and denying good in others • and Ustly by disbelieving God's goodness * and, fiDal process of thought, rather than have a God who is not good, he'll have none at all. Now, sir, physiognomy teaches otherwise, and givc3 us joy; its assurances are a continual feast, -1 am/ Tkuth. Sib,—After reading the effusion by K. !• ishley, junr,, with tome amount of mis giving I fo.md myself amon" " Uilemmas " not, for after "studying" that line of Cicero at the top of bis letter, I could not but wouder why R. L., jon. (especially when h's position of Chairman of .board of Educat'on is considered) don't translate for the benefit of the poor ignorant No 2 Dilemmas them everlasting " classic quotations " in which he rcems to revel. So It, L., junr., translates "Animl" "character" dots he? Perhaps Cicero would not ngr.e with him ; who can tell ? But, however true n- ybe tbeSp nishpro. verb (and ob, how eratcfull author poor No. 2 ought to feel for 11. L. J.s translation) about the "donkey's he .d and soap," bo doubt R. L.,junr,,could bearpersonal testi mony to the luxury and* exhilarating eff ct3 of a good " aham 1 pooh ! I"—Yours etc., One op the "Dilimmis." "thefacelß thb index oftbe mind." SIR,-1 read Mr Laishley's letter on "Physiognomy," and quite agree with him in stating that if people would make a rale to devote more time to the study of physiognomy, especially in the case of per sons s: tking any political position, or any po iilon which gives to the one appointed an opportunity of becoming notorious, and, at the tame time, the privilege of feathering his own nest, then I say we should more likely have men holding power and authority in the community and colony on whom we could rely and look to for a straightforward course of action, It is said that we should judge of a man by his actioDS, but we ought not to do so in every ; case. There are too many iostauccs exintiDg where generosity, for example, by persona having an abundance of i money has induced the people to consider, ' once and for all, that such persons are really good men, when you find It to be the reverae in reality; that is, if you h-.ve ■ made a close study of physiognomy. Yes, 'Mr laisbley, we may confidently rest assured that if we studied earnestly the characteristic) of men indicated by external personal »ppearaDcep, suchastheshapeof tbo head, the way the hat is worn, the position •f shoulders and head when walking—in fact, the general carriage of the person—and al'o closely obieiwd the features of indivi. duals, then, sir, we should have men holding political and responsible positions In whom our trust and confidence have been well placed, and for whom we would have le?s need of public' precautions and private anxielies.—l am, etc., : A STCDKNr.

THE TOBACCO COMPANY.

;! (To the Editor.) ' Sis, —An article appears in your last night's issue re the Auckland Tobacco Couip.ny, which, if pussed unnoticed, might possibly ibe believed. Your correspondent, j "P.8.P.," has certainly been at some ! trouble to obtain a prejudiced opinion. It is very evident that Ms inquiries were made with the express object of proving the resulc the reverse of satisfactory, other. 1 wise he would certainly have had the man* i liuess to see the promote, s before sendiug sack a damaging statemtnt fur publication! | Another "pUla statement of Facts "'will . give the public a better idea of the opeia ' tions of the Association and the prospects 1 of the Company than that made public by | your correspondent, which is a mixture of truth and falsehood. Friar to work being ' commenced, the present manager, Mr Jr. Gay ton Clarke, was sent up to see if the ! land wj:s suitable for his purpose. His ' report bein? favourable, fourteen acres of flitland were prepared, four acres of which belonged (o a neighbour. This being e.vily worked, and the reason far ad« vanced, it wus thought advisable to lease rather than £0 to the expense of preparing otnerland. Owing to being late in start ing opeiations, and the exceptional drynesj of the seasoD, it was found impossible to plant out the whole of tbe land prepared. The best proof of the suitability or the land for the purpote is the fact (hat, not* withstanding the sea on was altogether against it, a considerable quantity of tobacco was grown, and is now, Kuctc<a« fully cored. With regard to the tobacco being "much injmed and depreciated in value, owing to the ground having become •water-logged, &c," this is the only'true statement in "F.B.P.'s" letter, it was come time after it was requited before a full meeting of the Association could lie got together to agree to ereoc the neeessaiy drying-shed, consequently the manager was late in getting in his tobacco. loslead of being only much injured, a quantity was totally spoilt by five days' consecutive rain, and was not taken in. This lace is well* known to the members of the Association) and all others who have taken any interest in the undertaking. It is also well-known that,t»kenurjcinit3ownmcrits,thecrop would have been a monetary failure, bnt now that it is a certainty that a marketable article- is produced, th» handsome bonus given by the Government in the form of a remission of duty amounting .to 2a 6d and 5a nett on manufactured tobacco and cigars; places it on a very different footing, and will enable the Company to show a good balance-sheet 11 P.B.lVs " statement that more than half the land is in bash and scrub 10 teet high, is totally untrue. One hundred aud thirty.five acres surveyors' measurement ia cleared, fenced, and cither in grass or other. wise improved with the exception of suffi« cient bash left standing for tha purpose of shelter, and anyone who saw the place last dry summer would know that such grass could cot grow on poor land. The remaining 77 acres is in mixed, scrub 10ft high and up« wards, and considering that the digital bush was destroyed by fire some years ago, land cannot be poor that will produce a second growth of that height. "P.B.P.V inquiries tnght to have extended to the nature of tobacco, He would fiod that the quantity of land was not tha object, and that the surrpupdiog.iulls.were necessary for shelter. Fifteen acres 'is aa much as the Company will be abie to grow for the coming season, and, provided that the work is started in time, a large crop is certain, the duty ou which would pay for the land twice over. Tbe position of the property being close to a navigable river, and on the main road, will .enable the settlers to grow tobacco for. the Company under the pupei vision of the manager, and it is believed that as soon ag the business Is established sufficient will be grown by them to supply the factory. It has never been claimed that the wbele area is suitable for the growth of, tebacco; but that, as shelter is ot paramouatjimportauce, no place could be more suitable for the nucleus of a business which must be con ducted on a limited scale for some time. Even if a more suitable property could be found, it must be remembered that the greater portion of tbe expense attending tbe growing of the coming season's crop has been already borne by the Association; The best refutation of "t'.B.P.'s" statement is the fact that cettlers in the neighbourhood who are perfectly acquainted with the lacd have; applied tot shares in the Company, one of them being the applicant for the largest number outside the members of the Association, Opinions about laud are very contradictory, and although "P.B.P. " may believe he has formed a correct one, we think it would have been hotter if he had made himself better acquainted with the requirements of the Company befoie publishing it. Animus may be at the] bottom of it aP, as bis opinion muit have been formed from state* ments made by someone who considers his property mote suitable.— We are. &c, METCALFE AND HlMii July 7th.
