ALBURY MURDER
REWARD OF £300
QUEST FOR INFORMATION
(By Telegraph—Press Association)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The mystery of the murder of a young girl near Albury eighteen months ago has been revived in New Zealand by the arrival of notices from the New South Wales Police Department offering £500 reward for information leading to a conviction, and a free pardon if an accomplice is first to in Conn.
These notices are being posted to police stations throughout the Dominion.
In September, 1934, the body of a murdered girl was found in a culvert near Albury on the New South "Wales border, and despite efforts over a long period the police were unable to trace the identity of the victim. Post-mor-tem photographs were circulated in the Press, the finger-prints of the girl were taken, and dentists were communicated with in the effort to trace her through dental records. The girl was considered to have been dead for at least three days when found, and an attempt had been made to burn the body, which was clad in a pyjama suit with a towel about the neck and a piece of sacking over the head.
