THE BIGGS CASE

ANONYMOUS LETTER

OPINION OF POLICE

MELBOURNE, 4th December.

The detectivo office has received an anonymous letter from a man who says he saw a woman, presumably Mrs. Biggs, on the night of 18th November kneeling in prayer at the end of St. Kilda Pier. He tried to light his pipe, but the wind was too strong. He sat on the seat and watched tho woman. He then left, forgetting his pipe. On returning for it ho discovered that the woman had gone. He concluded that the only place into which she could have disappeared was the sea. He went home and told his wife, but made no complaint to the police. He now had every reason to believe tjiat the woman was Mrs. Biggs, whose body was discovered in the bay, and whose husband returned from Auckland 'to Melbourne yesterday in order to be present at the inquest. The- anonymous writer adds: "I cannot possibly be identified with tho case, hence the anonymity."

The detectives are of opinion that tho writer is sincere and truthful, and regret that so important a witness is not available for the inquest.
