MURDER AT THE DOCKS.

Mr Craik Done to Death

One of the moer ensational tragadir that has occurred in the history of the Colony, at all events for many years past, was perpetrated at the Kowloon Docks, shortly after twelve last night At a for minglesaffermidnight residents of the Dock Villas, the block of houses set apart for th Company's European employees, wers alarmed at hearing cries of murder, in a woman's volvo, coming from the house occupied by Mt John R. Craik and bis- family, and at once rushed out to aes what was the matter. To their horror they found that Mr Craik had, a fow minutes earlier, boon foully done to death, and lay bleed- Ing and beyond all help on the floor of the passage in bis house. The alarm. for the polico was at once raised and the Book police were quickly on the scene, and were followed by oficials from Hunghom and Xanmath Stations, and, as quickly as possi bla, by detectiven from the Central Police Station, to whom a message had been sent by telephone. Prompt measures #ere taken to search for the murderer but so far they have not been rewarded by

success.

The story of the tragedy as told by Mer Craik leaves a great deal of donkt as to what was the moʻive leading up to it Whether the murderer's original intention was simply robbery and the greater crime was committed to save blaiseti from exptare, or whether the crime was deliberately planned for the purpose of vengeance, It is at present imposs'ble to say, but thoro is evidence that would appear to support both conclusions.
