Hangs Himself
Suva, Mar. 20
IN order to check persistent thefts by a section of its staff, the Pacific Biscuit Co., Ltd. sought the help of the police, and certain workmen were intercepted and searched. Two young Indians were caught with stolen goods (packets of biscuits) in their possession, and brought to court, and fined £3O each, or a term of imprisonment.
There was an unusual sequel two days later, when the body of one of the men, Hari Singh, aged 27, married, was found hanging from a tree near Bypass Road. He appeared to have committed suicide.
