Rumour had it the other morning that murder had been committed in -.Suva (states the “Herald”). A skull had been found on the rubbish tip, whither it had been carted by the municipal garbage lorry. The details were very realistic, and by the time the police got to work the.story had attained sensational dimensions. The police found the skull on the tip, but it turned out be a very old one. As u result of much inquiry the police traced the skull back over a period of several months through several hands to the time when it was the property of the wife of the town clerk, Mr. 8. G Davey. He had bought it with a job Jot at a sale of the effects of the late Dr. Brough. Mrs. Davey looked on it as rubbish and out it went to start some, months later the sinister rumour of foiil murder.
