ESSEX MURDER
SCOTLAND YARD BAFFLED SERIES OF CLUES PROVED UNPROFITABLE REORGANISATION OF POLICE FORCE URGED By Telegraph.—Press Association. (Copyright.) London, October 3. Despite Scotland Yard’s utmost concentration on the Essex murder the solution of the crime is likely to come to a dead end. The series of clues at first obtained proved unprofitable. The brutal nature of the crime aroused public horror as well as uneasiness, but the perpetrators may remain undetected. Two men were" taken to Scotland Yard to-night for interrogation. The police is appealing for widespread public aid. The newspapers point out that the degree of skill reached by motorcar bandits requires a reorganisation of the police force, with the most modern resources of the criminologist.
Mr. Edgar Wallace, in the “Morning Post,” sums up the facts to the effect that the cartridges and revolver found at Hammersmith were not connected with the crime, and the police were on a cold scent, and it may be long before the criminals are caught. The Government should offer a large reward and pardon for any member of the gang not actually concerned in the shooting.
