(Received 12 noon.) a LONDON, May 6. c: Events are moving rapidly in connec- a tion with the Eastbourne biuigalow a mystery., in which the dismembered remains of a woman were found in an un- ™ occupied bungalow situated in a lonely a spot between Eastbourne and Langney. ". Detectives this evening took Mahon to ■* Eastbourne, where they made a definite a charge. The police say the- victim was aged a 2S years, and "has been living at a " woman's club in the West End of London. She was identified by means of a r skirt found in the bungalow. r Her elubmates say that Miss Ka.Vfi '• was a pretty, sweet-natured, girl, and wildly happy over her prospective marriage. She was never visited by men, tennis being her chief hobby. A motor car driver and other people at Eastbourne are emphatic that there wns a second dark woman whoso soubriquet was "The Countess." Mahon'e mother is living , at Liverpool. Mnhon has been living with his wife and daughter at Richmond. He is an Trishman, and a well-known member of the { Mid-Surrey Bowling Club. He was play- f ing at the club on Thursday in unusually ( good spirits, and seemed very happy. j The police called up several vessels ! bound for South Africa in con- ' sequence of information that Miss ' Kaye, who it is thought was the '• murdered woman, told a friend at ' the end of March that she would soon be marrying and going to Africa. She ' was a fair woman with bobbed hair, and ' was last seen in the bungalow on April ' 12. Apparently tho inquiries have been without result. The police have an- ' nounced that they are satisfied that the ' victim was Miss Kaye, whose occupation was that of a bookkeeper. ■ The police are digging up the bunga- ! low gardens in tho hope of discovering ' the victim"s missing head. No trace ' has yet been found of the dark-haired ' woman who visited the bungalow. Patrick Mahon, the detained man, is known ' to have a wife for whom the police are ! seeking. ' The "Daily Express -, states that Mr. ' Beilby. veterinary surgeon, of Hailsham. ' near Eastbourne", states that the dead woman's correct name is Emily Beilby Kaye. She was his cousin. Her parents died when she was a child. Emily spent a holiday of three weeks last August with Mr. Beilby and his wife. She also wrote from her club frequent! - . Mr. Pcilby -was surprised to receive a. letter three weeks ago, saying that ehe was engaged and intended to be married in Capetown, where her fiancee had obtained a post. Mr. Beilhy wrote imme- ' diately asking her to visit him before hor departure. She did not reply.— (A. ' and N.Z. Cable.)
