WORKING IN SYDNEY
Rec. 10 a.m. MELBOURNE, March 7. Agostini was working as a waiter in Sydney when he ,was arrested. During the early years, of the investigation rewards of up to £1000 were offered by the New South Wales Government for information leading to the identification of the body, and they produced some extraordinary results. Many people sought to identify the body in its formalin bath. A few years ago a Sydney woman claimed the victim- as a daughter and unsuccessfully brought a legal action for custody of the body. An Adelaide man made what he called a confession of the crime, saying that he strangled the woman. The first few months of the inquiry i led to the tracing of 720 missing girls in Australia and various parts of the world. ■
