THE NEW BRIGHTON MYSTERY.
' ’’ ■ ' . TO THE EOITOB. Sir*—Your’l wo correspondents “ Parent ” ■and “ Teacher ” seem quite convinced that thp girl Elsie Talley committed suicide. If this conviction conies from a knowledge of facts not- possessed by the general public, why do they not state those facts, op, if simply from gossip picked up from “the man in the street,” why not keep quiet and not try to stain a girl’s name, for; in the majority of people suicide is a sfaip? So' far as' the evidence at the inquest, published in your paper and the “Press” goes there is not the slightest suspicion of suicide, and I think that until the police or some capable persons have proved suicide such people as “Parent” and “Teacher” had much better let the thing rest.—l am, etc., ■ PUKAKI.
