THE PLIMMERTON TRAGEDY. A FURTHER DISCOVERY.
Constable Hutton, who has been making a search in the locality of the tragedy at Plimmerton, has discovered a watch, several pieces of jewellery, a pair of scissors, and other articles close to where the bodies were found, and he is more inclined than ever to believe th&t the skeletons are those of Braybrooke and the young womau iv whose company he had often been seen. Dr. Pollen, who Avas for some years a resident of Gisborne, was well acquainted with Bra3 r brooke aud his wife, having attended both of them in his professional capacity. Mrs, Braybrooke, he states, waa a woman not more than 4ft lOin fiigh, and he feels convinced that if a measurement of the female skeleton is made, all doubt as to whether it is that of Mrs. Braybrooke will be set at rest. Dr. Pollen also saw her in Wellington after she and her husband had taken up their residence here. Braybrooke was at one time Steward of the Gisborne Club, and was considered to be a very hardworking man.
