POLICE AT WORK
CONSTABLE'S INQUIRIES
COMMENDED BY DETECTIVE
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
At the police inquiry arising out of the death of Elsie Walker, DetectiveSergeant Kelly said that he was satisfied that everything-possible had been done. The inquiries made by Constable Jackson had been of considorable assistance to witness. They had been thorough and satisfactory. Counsel quoted a message telephoned by Constable Jackson at Te Puke on the morning of 6th October, stating that the body of a girl had beon discovered in the scrub and ' concluding that she was believed to have been murdered. , Witness said that it was natural that the constable should have been under that impression, but it was removed after the post-mortem of the body. He knew there was a difference between the message as recorded at Hamilton and Auckland. Witness now knew that Constable Jackson had been under a wrong impression regarding Frank Bayley's visit to Auckland. He did not think the removal of the body to the morgue following its discovery had made any difference to the inquiries made subsequently.
