THE TRIABUNNA TRAGEDY,
A MUNICIPAL INQUIRY.
Hobart, April 4.
The Spring Bay Municipal Council held
an inquiry with open doors on Saturday
with regard to the Glover family tragedy
at Triabunna, in order to sift certain allega-
tions made by the husband of the deceased
woman against C. Griffith, the district
superintendent of police. George Glover,
the husband of the deceased, who had
murdered their six children and afterwards
committed suicide, was not in attendance,
though notified of this intended inquiry
Superintendent Griffith's statement directly
contradicted the statements made by
Glover on tha alleged authority of his
wife, and superintendent Griffith was fully
exonerated from blame. A resolution expressing
continued confidence in him was
recorded.
