ST. KILDA MYSTERY.
WHY HUSBAND AND WIFE PARTED. By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright., (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. William Biggs, whoso wife was found drowned off St. Kilda on November 18, told the police that there had been religious differences between himself and his wife. She was an unbeliever. It was one of his beliefs as a member of the Plymouth Brethren that a wife could leave her husband if one was a believer and the other an unbeliever. He however, thought his wife would follow him to New Zealand. He declared that she should have possessed £lO and also a wristlet watch.
The police think Mrs Biggs’ handbag and the £lO may be in the sea and are taking steps to drag the Bay in the vicinity of the spot where the body was discovered.
