“PYJAMA GIRL” MYSTERY

PROMISING GLUE AT LAST VICTIM MAY HAVE TOURED WITH CARTER THE GREAT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, February 24. Detectives are still engaged in investigating the “ pyjama girl ” case, and have established contact with Mr C. W. Lynch, principal of the Lynch family of bellringers, who is practically certain, according to photographs shown to him of the dead girl, that her name is Nancye Lingg, of San Francisco, who in 1934 came to Australia with the magician, Carter the Great, and toured Tasmania, Victoria, and Sydney. Mr Lynch, who was with the company, left them in Tasmania. The company toured the East and then disbanded after leaving _ Singapore. Carter died in South Africa. The police regard Mr Lynch’s story as most promising, and have invited him to Sydney to view the girl’s body, which is preserved in a glass case in the University Medical School. NO CONNECTION WITH CRIME, SYDNEY, February 25. (Received February 25, at 11.35 a.m.) The ‘ Daily Telegraph ’ says investigations indicate beyond doubt that Nancye Lingg was not the pyjama girl. The ‘ Telegraph’s ’ investigations proved that Miss Lingg booked at a Sydney hotel on July 29, 1934, and checked out on September 26 following, 25 days after the body of the pyjama girl was found.
