(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BV ELECTBIO TELEGBAPH—COPVBIGHT.)
(Received November 4th, 6.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, November S.
Mrs Gwendoline Smith, aged 22, was found unconscious in her flat at Darlinghurst last night with her head battered. She 'was taken to hospital, where her condition, is "reported to be critical.
Mystery surrounds the affair. Her husband says they had been shopping and his wife returned home before him. When he arrived he saw a strange man with a bloody face who, in reply to interrogation, said he had made a mistake. The husband went to his wife's room and saw her lying unconscious. He rushed to the front, where the stranger still lingered, and asked him: "What have you done?" The stranger replied r "It must have been the other fellow": inferring that another man had been in the flat. The stranger then jumped through a window and disappeared.—Australian Press Association.
