FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL!
(United Press Association.—Copyright.}! •. ■ ■■• ADELAIDE/7th February.'■
A man walked into a jeweller's shop in the city and said that he was acting on behalf of a man who was lying ill at an Hotel. He made inquiries regarding jewellery, and the manager of the shop (Mr. John v Robert Hindmarsh) took three single diamond rings valued at £60 each, motored to the hotel and went to a certain bedroom. In the morning a maid opened, the door at 9.30 to announce that breakfast was ready and observed a man in bed, apparently asleep. She did not wake him; two hours later, on again going to the room, she saw the man in the same position.
The police were called in and it was found that the man in bed was dead He proved to be Mr. Hindmarsh. The police are of the opinion that Mr. Hindmarsh was enticed to the room, where he was bound and gagged but the assailants took too long over the work and Mr. Hindmarsh was suffocated.
A young man has been detained in connection with the matter.
