WHY DID WALDRON GO 1

MELBOURNE, this day
An outrage occurred at East Malvern when what is believed to have been a bomb exploded on the front verandah of a house owned and occupied by Miss Dora .Schatzberg.' So far the whole affair is shrouded in mystery. The efforts of the police at present are directed towards tracing a man and his yife named Waldron, who hurriedly vacated the house on Monday without giving explanation, though the lease had three weeks to run.
The police are inclined to the theory that a bomb was left by some person with the intention of doing harm to the Waldrons, whom they believed to be still in occupation.
Miss Schatzberg and a neighbour's child vrerc the only occupants of the house at the time of the explosion. Beyond fright and shock both were uninjured.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
