    3. HBH 1890 July 18 STREETER Robert Telegraphic Thursday-GISBORNE The search party found the body of Robert STREETER yesterday in a hole a short distance from where deceased and his mate were fencing. The locality is about forty miles from GISBORNE in very rough country, beyond the oil springs. The message states that there is evidence of STREETER having been murdered, although the body is in an advanced state of decomposition. It is thought that there will be no difficulty in identifying the remains. Dr INNES left town this morning for the locality of the murder. An inquest will be held tomorrow at WHATATUTU. William BLACK (charged with the murder) and STREETER's wife are to leave GISBORNE today in charge of the police to be present at the inquest. Detective CAMPBELL, of WELLINGTON, arrived here this morning and proceeds to the scene of the murder.
