She was fair,, with bobbed* hair, and was last seen in the bungalow on April 12. * Apparently the inquiries were resultless, because after all day long inquiries the police announced that they were satisfied the victim was Miss Kay, whose occupation was bookkeeper. The police are digging up the bungalow garden in the hope of discovering the victim’s missing head.

There is no trace yet of the darkhaired woman who also visited the bungalow. Patrick Mason, the detained man, is known to have a wife, for whom the police are seeking.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
