THE NEILSON MYSTERY.
CASE DROPPED BY POLICE. LONDON, August 15. The Home Office states that an examination of the letters scratched on Major Neilson's body shows them to be A.X.1., which is I.R.A. inverted. They are thrice repeated on his chest. There is also a wound on the forearm, apparently caused by a sharp instrument. A blood-stained razor was found at Major Neilson's lodgings. Though Major Xeilson adheres to his story, the local police have dropped the case.— (A. and X.Z. (able.)
