POLICEMAN’S CRIME
Illicit Love Affair ENDS IN MURDER. [Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] (Received August 8, 7.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 7. Deductions reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and which were based on six sugar lumps found in the pocket of a Frenchwoman, Miss Irma Pradier, aged 27, who was shot in the head on July 20, reached a ciimax in the arrest of Arthur Chalmers, aged 35, a Mounted Policeman, married, with two children, on a charge of murder. Detectives discovered that Miss Pradier was a lover of horses and was friendly with a number of troopers. They deduced from sugar lumps that she had arranged to meet a trooper on the night she was murdered. After they had questioned many Troopers, Chalmers admitted that he had met Miss Pradier on July 20, but he denied having committed the murder.
