MURDER OF AN ASYLUM

WARDER,

A Madman Kills Him With a Pitchfork,

Tuk Auxiliary Lunatic Asylum wns th acaoe of a cruel murder thin morni.ig. On j t |, e ff arders named James Thompson tv« ked by a lunatic named Gharle Treewfeeeler, who struck htm with i pitchfork and killed him instantly. A the time of the shocking occurrence a num. Lr of the patient? were at work in t!i< Potato-Held under the- charge of three war V3O o f whom the deceased vms ono Trewheller was working somo distance, fronr the others, and Thompson Inquiring a forl ~ believed to have gotis to ash him for his The first intimation f.ie other wavdors hado: the tragedy was fey ono of them hearing t blow struck. Looking round, ho saw Thompson on the ground and Trowhollci standing wor him with tins pitchfork .raised. Two othor blows wwo struck before they could roach tho s;?ot ami secure thi patiVjtwho.atlirst, madoasif ho wore dotor aio ed to defend himself. Ho *v*s promptly scoured, and appeared to bo highly satis 'lied with his exploit, saving that it was the beat he could do. Tho other pationts did not make the slightest movement, but worked on unconcernedly, :ls if tho murder had not>.apponed. Tho body was taken to the building, and Dr. Young tnlepboned Sor. The auxilary asylum, it inny bo men tioned, is about a quatrer of ;i milo distant from main asylum. Dr. Young hadgono into town to attend tlie Supioine Court, but ho was advised by telephone of the occurrence. 31 r Hardy, tho head attond«nt;, went over to the farm, and found U>e body of deceased in the potato field. It was quite dead, and the neck appeared to be dislocated, Mr Hardy applied ammonia, but without effect and the body was taken to the dead home. Itwas no* considered nod-jssary to send for a medical man. Tho nows had meanwhile reached town, *t-bore it created considerable sensation, A Star reporter immediately left fot the scene ot tho murder, andmteTVlewed tho attendants who hud witneasSi tho assault. The following statements <ii the facts connected with the muider tc<jre made to him. Hnghes's Statement. John Hughes stated; I was the senior ■warder of tho three who wore out with the ■patient* this forenoon. Tire othors were tho deceased and Minogue, At nino o'clock, we took 3G patients to the potato field, which is srtnatod only a short distance from the asylum. Tho best working men wffre placed togother, while those who were not able, or did not intend to werk took seats round the fences a that we could have our eyes upon them. The man Trewheeler is occasionally out nth us, and camo with us this torenoon. When we reached the potato-tield, lie removed his coat, and taking a potato-fork in his hwd, commenced to shako up some creeds. The spat to which he went was about two or three chains distant from where the remainder 'cf the men were work ing. I looked round, and seeing that tho voiking patients had all settled down to ibeir duties, t. went in the direction where ] Tnwheler teas working. I looked at him, v passing, but did not stop. Wben I was was a&wut four chains distant, vrith my back still turned towards him, I heard the sound *fft blow—something likes dull thud. I Sastantly looked round, and saw the attend ant Thomson lying on the ground, while. Trewheeler was standing -ever him with the pitchfork with which he had been working raised in a threatening attitnde. Before I could call out, he struck Thomson on the Deck with tfee side of the pitchfork. I wiled oat at the top of my voice to the attendant Minogne, who wa9 with the othtr fitfants a snort distance from the two men. He had ait seen the occurrence, j but my call drew his attention to jit. He ttn towards the group, and so also did I. Meanwhile Trewheeler raised the pitchfork ajitaaed repeated the blow on the same place. Hinogue reached tho epot where Ttwiweler was first. Tin Kartman Raise*! tho Fork as if to BtrUco, ttHlnogue, arm! invited him to como on. I «tel out to Mmogue to keep off until I twMhim and he did so. I then ordered ; Ttt6«Mer to throw down tho fork and fcaoVljtd. Wo then both closed with tho • wife! and secured him. This done, /iffliilinogue to look at the attendant .. tttns lying motionless on the ground, adhe found that the poor fellow was dead. Mated by another of the patients, I re moved Trewheeler back to the Auxiliary Aijhm, and placed him in a single room, wfere he remained until ho was taken to tie main building. While I was taking Mm to the main building, I askob him "Why did you doit," and he said "It Is tie best thing I could do." I did not put siy other questions to bun. I have known Irewheoler since ho came, but I »ew knew| him to strike a war -4/x before. He waa a rather peculiar oan, and was frequently lost in rovorio. When spoken to, ho was accustomed to faugh idiotically, andfit waa his custom to «B people by the first name that occurred to __, whether it was tho proper name or ' Wt Thompson must have boon struck •_wares, and my belief is that ho was ask- : bg Trewheoler for tho fork whon tho patient struck him. Hughoß described tho Deceased as a quiet young fellow, who was looked upon as a favourite amongst tho patients. He and his assailant had not Md"»ny ■quarrel 'or dispute, and there was no iHwUI between them, so far as is known. In fact, Trewheeler was co quiet and in offensive, that ho waa not looked upon as wp*M« of revengeful feelings. Wmgue's Statement. John Hinogue made a statement to wmewhttthe same effect as that of Hughes. H«»ys that at nine oclock, he and two "ther wardens went out to the potatoe Bold in charge of 36 patients. Most of the B«ngwere working close together digging potatoes, but C. Treewheeler was digging •bouttwo chains distant from them with • light four-pronged fork. Operations had *»n going on thus for nearly 20 minutes, ™en deceased asked him where there were joy forks. He replied that they were all jyug in the furrows, where the patient had wen working on Saturday. Thompson then wat away, but he did not notice in which direction till Attendant Hughes shouted to «B,"Lookatthatman." When he looked w mw Trewheeler striking the deceased, Who w&b lying on his side on one of the hrrows. The blow was struck on the back "the neck with the side of the potato fork. He rushed up to Trewheeler and told him J» stop, Trewheeler ran at him with the «>», but did not close with him. He good with the fork ready to strike. Vewheeler then put the fork down, and ho jj>»hbd at him and secured him. Hughes wen came up and took him back to the *™iary aßylum. Minegue then went to ""W deceased wag lying, and found him JPPMently quite dead. He was black in j* fwo, and there was a red mark or w«M across the back of the neck. Mr *ja then cams down, and with tho assist *« of Attendant O'Sullivan, took tho body " Wiiliary, whence it waa subsequently "•moved into the dead-house at the rear cf "•main asylum. _ The Murderer's Explanation. Mrßoyd, manager of the farm, says he *« taking the buggy up to the Asylum for S.WHJ when the murder was com "raw. Coming back through the farm, "Bet Hughes, who told him what had hap- P™«t He immediately proceeded to the PTOW paddock, and sent Minogue and •"the otherlpatients in, Mr O'Sullivan waewhilehewas there, and assisted him ,^r° Te th 6 body into the building.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.

A youth named William McKoovor, 15 yoars old, son of Mr McKeover, oxpress proprietor, Onehunga, mot with a rather serious accident by falling from the plat form of a railway carriago between Ellerslio and Penroso, Tho young lad, who is apprenticed to the saddlery business at Nowmarket, was a passenger by the 6 p.m. train from Auckland yesterday. Tho acci dent occurred near Mr Scarrott's farm. In consequence of a report from a passenger, a platelayer went along tho line from Penrose, who found the boy by tho side of tho line, and convoyed him to Ellerslie, from which place he was sent on to Nowmarkot for treatment; but as the services of a medical man were not immediately available, the boy was sent by tho 8.30 p.m. train to Onebunga. Mr Hardwick, the station master at Ellerslie, had communicated with Mr Glenney, the Onehunga station-, master, by telegraph, and the boy's parents. being informed of tho accident, Dr. Scott ] and others wore in attendance on the arrival of tho train. The boy was found to be suffering from slight concussion of tho brain, without other apparent injuries.

THE PREMIER'S JAUNT.

The Premier waa highly p'Msed with his drive on Saturday through the outskirts of the district, and with the various incidents in the programme of entertainment. He was particularly struck by the energy and enterprise displayod by the Iron and Steel Company in the erection of such very com plete works at Onehunga, and took the trouble to elicit full details as to the proposed operations. After this visit the party adjourned to the Ter minus Hotel, where Mr John Lundon, at his own expense, had provided a sumptuous dinner, which was served by the Misses Lundon in really first-class. Mr J. D. Jackson (Mayor of Onehunga) took the chair, supported on tho right by the Premier, and on the left by Mr \V. R. Waddel (Mayor of Auckland), while Dr. Scott (ex-Mayor of Onehunga) filled tho vice-chair. After the last course had been discussed the health of the Queen waa toasted, and then the Chair man, in a neat and complimentary speech, proposed the health of Hon. Mr Stout, expressing the hope, as be did so, that his Government would remain in office so long aa they did their duty. The Premier, in reply, stated that his present visit to Auck land was dictated by the feeling that the occupant of such a responsible office was in duty bound to make himself acquainted with those parts of the colony ot which ho had no personal knowledge. In hia tour through the far North he had been pleased, not only with its many natural advantages, but alao with the energy of the settlers. He. was exceedingly pleased in his visit to Onehunga to see such capital expended and talent dis played in the most important industry the colony could possess—the industry that waa the parent of hundreds of others, and which was a greater incentive to settle ment than tho richest of diggings. Ho did not bolievo in massing people and in dustry in ono centro, and that waa tho reoson why ho commended tho choice of Onohunga for tho aoat of the works. If Auckland had a noblo harbour and bounti ful situation, Onohunga had thoso bracing S.W. broozes which tho larger city lacked. As for the Government, it but reflected tho Parliament, and in its turn Parliament mirrored the people. As tho pcoplo were, therefore-, so would thoir institutions bo. Mr Stout concluded by proposing health and prosperity to Onehunga, coupled with the name of the Mayor. Tho Chairman and Messrs M. H. Roe and J. Chambers re sponded. Tho Vico-Chairman proposed " Prosperity to Auckland," and the Mayors of Auckland and Parnell replied. Three cheers were then given for tho host and hostesses, and the party resumed their drive, tho route being over the Mangaro Bridge and along that district to Papa toitoi, thence by way of Otahuhu and Green Lane to Kemuera, and by way of Parnell to Quoen-street, which was reached at '1.50 p.m.
