Owen recovered a bicycle which is believed to have been the one in the possession of Stanley Wilfred Wright, the 19* year-old farm hand wltose body was recovered front the river five miles lower down a week ago. At the inquest the constable advanced the theory that Wright had fallen over the wharf while riding his cycle along the edge, and his recovery of the machine in the locality bears this out to some extent. Wright was fully clothed when found and had a bicycle clip attached to each trouser leg.
