When Crawford was laat seen he was shifting from one "bach" to another.

The 6iim of over '£ 13 in cash was found in the pockets of the man's clothing, and other papers in hie possession showed that he had a very substantial sum of money in his name. Interest coupons for f 150 were among the papers. It is understood that he had relatives in Morrinsville.
An inquest was opened at Waiuku to-day and wae adjourned after evidence' of identification had been taken.
