LONDON, July 9. j While the city streets were most crowded with men and women leaving their offices a pretty Irish girl, Josephine O'Reilly, reeled screaming into Lombard street from St. -George's yard with a knife wound in her side. In St: George's yard a young man was found lying with a wound above his heart. The girl was carried into Barclay's Bank, where she was employed, and was afterwards taken to hospital, where she was found to be seriously hurt and unable to make- a coherent statement. The man, who was named Rodney Geary, was a clerk in the London County Council offices. He was only slightly hurt. He had been seen talking to the girl. It is understood that he wished to marry her, but she rejected his suit.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. I
