BIGGS TRAGEDY.

Woman Seen On St. Kilda Pier. ANONYMOUS LETTER. MELBOURNE, December 4. The detective office ha 3 received an anonymous letter from a man who says he saw a woman, presumably Mrs. W. H. A. Biggs, on the evening of November 18 kneeling in prayer at the end of St. Kilda Pier. He tried to light his pipe, but the wind was too strong. He sat on a seat and watched the woman. He then left, but forgot his pipe. On returning for it he discovered that the woman had gone. He concluded that the only place where she could have disappeared was into the sea. He went home and told his wife, but made no report to the police. He now had every reason to believe that she was Mrs. Biggs, whose body was discovered in the bay, and whose husband returned from Auckland to Melbourne yesterday, in order to be present at the inquest concerning her death.

The anonymous writer adds: "I cannot possibly be identified with the case, hence my anonymity." The detectives are of opinion that the writer is sincere and truthful, and regret that so important a witness is not available for the inquest.
