AN INNOCENT MAN'S AWFUL RISK.
OTHER MEN REPORTED TO BE MISSING. (Received December 8, 11.6 a.m.) Sydney, This Day. The chief witness in the Weller case is Pet€r Farrell.a tramp, to whom Butler gave a plan of the camp near where "Weller perished. This plan was given to enable Farrell to get articles of clothing and provisions, but Farrell, finding nothing of value, threw it away, and it was subsequently found by the police. Had the tramp picked up any of Welter's articles, and Preston's disappearance not been discovered, the man ran the risk of being arrested as Weller's murderer, and that idea no doubt presented itself to Butler when he sent the man on the errand. The air is thick with rumours of other meu being missing.
