EASTBOURNE MURDER

ANGRY CROWD RUSH AT MAHON

London, May 8

When Patrick Mahon, who is charged with the murder of Emily Kaye, at Eastbourne, left the inquest, the crowd was hysterical with anger, and. there was a wild rush at him. The police had to board a motor-oar in order to force 3 way through. Hundreds of women raised a howl, shrieking, “Vile wretch,” “Brute,” and “Cad ” Mahon gazed on the crowd panic-stricken, _ and. then pulled his coat over - his face. Only one voice was raised on his behalf, when a woman cried loudly. “Poor chap! Be fair. Be English I” It was an error of judgment on the part of the authorities to hold the inquest in the drawing-room of the bungalow. The Eastbourne correspondent of the “Daily Express” states that Mahon’s statement to tho police would fill a whole page of the “Express.” .It will necessitate many weeks’ inquiry. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. POLICE INVESTIGATIONS (Rec. May 9, 5.5 p.m.) London, May 8. It has been discovered that Miss Kaye had several hundreds of pounds in shares and money, but died practically without money.

They are also using dogs to. scour the surrounding district.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. EXAMINATION OF REMAINS (Rec- May 9, 8.5 p.m.) London, May 9.
