THE MURDERER PUPIL TEACHER.
Mr. Alexander Kerz and Miss Kerz arrived at the scene about 3pm to-day. Miss Kerz was unable to speak to anyone her grief being so intense Mr. A. Kerz on being interviewed said that the murdered girl was the youngest girl and was considered the idol of the family. This was her first appointment away from Girilambone, although she was pupil teaching there for three years. Both her father and mother reside in Girilambone, and she would have been 21 years of age next birthday. Miss Kerz is a native of the Macquarie River near Warren. A peculiar incident is that some years ago. Miss Clark's father was drowned in the same creek where the Mawbeys resided, the Wallumburrawang, only about half-a-mile from where the murders were
committed.
Miss Kerz, one of the victims, is to be buried in Dubbo, while the rest of the victims will be buried at Breelong. Mr. Shaw, P.M. from Coonamble, is at Gilgandra, and will be at the scene of the murders to-morrow to hold the inquest, as well as Mr. Dal- hunty, from Dubbo.
