FIRST TANGIBLE CLUE.
THE “PYJAMA GIRL” MYSTERY. (United Press Association —Copyright.) SYDNEY, March 26. The first tangible clue to the solution of what is known as the Albury “pyjama girl” mystery is being followed by the police as a result of the discovery in a water-hole of a quantity of women’s clothing which is believed to have belonged to the murdered girl. Drought in the Albury district lowered the water level and a man discovered a bundle but told nobody for nearly a month. In the meantime rajn had fallen and the water had risen again, but the fire brigade pumped the hole to a low level. The police secured a pair of shoes, which fit the feet of the murdered girl, whose body has been kept in formalin at Sydney University since she was discovered in September, 1934. The fire brigade will resume pumping to-morrow. The police believetliey may find other clothes which "would lead to the identity of the girl, and the revolver with which she was shot.
