OLD MAN’S TRAGIC END.
body bound by boys
[press association telegram.) WHANGAREI, June 4. Five months ago Robert Apps, then an inmate of the Whangarei Old Men’s Home, wandered away from the institution, and, though a search was made in various directions, no trace of the missing man was found. It was generally supposed that he had attempted to cross to the DargavTe district, whence he originally came. The mystery of Apps’ fate was solved yesterday by some boys, who, while out on a mushroom-gathering expedition, found the body on Mr. Millington’s property, hidden in high ti-tree, and hanging by one of the legs to a wire fence. At the inquest a verdict that Apps •died' from exposure was returned.
