BIGGS TRAGEDY

BYE-WITNBSS’S LETTER. (By Cable—Press Assn—Copyright.) MELBOURNE, December 4. The Detective Office received an anonymous letter from a man who says that he saw a woman, presumably the late Mrs. Biggs, on the night of No-

vember 18, kneeling in prayer at the end of the St. Kilda pier. He tried to light his pipe, but the wind was too strong. He sat on a seat and watched the woman. He then left, forgetting his pipe. ■ On returning for it, he discovered that the woman had gone. He concluded that the only place that she could have disappeared was into the sea. He then went home and told his wife, but he made no complaint to the police. - He now has every reason to believe that she 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 the case. Hence my anonymity!” The detectives are of the opinion that the writer is sincere and truthful, and they regret z that so important a witness z is not available for the inquest, " ’"'
