The Argus

The perpetrators of the looting and indiscipline were court-martialled and imprisoned by the military authorities.

The Melbourne Argus had an article on this from the 25th of April 1915, reporting a parliamentary debate.

Five soldiers were locked up but the wives and families of these men appealed to the authorities asking if such punishments were to be meted out, they should not be one-eyed and no distinction should be made between officers and the rank and file.

Looting, plunder and rape were the perks of the officers of the expedition who had strenuously fought against any investigations and the whole forces of the military had been used in cloaking their actions from the public gaze.

It is now widely believed that rather than Detzner living with and suffering the privations of the natives of New Guinea, he was actually sheltered by German plantation owners and missionaries who were allowed to continue their activities after pledging neutrality to the Australians.

In 1919, a letter to the Melbourne Argus described what he claimed were Detzner's lies.

There was no mystery about the disappearance of Captain Detzner and his party.

Mr. Wilson asked, "When you received this money anonymously, did it not occur to you that it may have come from your father's estate?" She said, "No.

She married three times, on the 31st of December 1869 to James Collins, who was not attached to the theater, and they had a son, Herbert, in Melbourne in 1871.

In October 1877, the Melbourne Argus outlined Miss Dosie Stewart's benefit.

"Miss Dosie Stewart, who has for so many years been a leading attraction at the Theatre Royal, received a compliment of a well-filled house on the occasion of her benefit.

In January 1916, she was deeply depressed by grief over the death of George, whom she called Muzzy.

On the 22nd of January 1916 in the Melbourne Argus, his death was announced.

On the 21st of January at Sydney, George Musgrove, husband of Emily Musgrove of Aurelian of Richmond, and then on the 21st of January at Deniguin, Rose Bay, George Musgrove in his 63rd year.

So keeping in mind that George was still married and the divorce hadn't happened, officially there could be no death notice from Nellie and their daughter.

She was a born comedy actress.

Miss Stewart is survived by her daughter, Miss Nancy Stewart, Mrs. Maine Linton, her brother, Mr. Richard Stewart, her half-sister, Madame Chambossier, and two grandsons, John and Michael Linton.
