ELSIE WALKER CASE.
REQUEST FOR RE-OPENING OF INQUEST.
• Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Aug. 26. Mr C. D. Walker, father of Elsie Walker, has had a letter written to the Attorney-General (Hon. T. K. Sidey) asking for a reopening of the inquest. Air Walker’s solicitors, Messrs. Potts and Hodgson, of Opotiki, say in tlio letter to Air Sidey that the recent publication of correspondence between Airs M. Thomason and Airs Bayly has put an entirely new complexion on the matter, and Mr Walker considers that, now a lead has been given, others in Te Puke may come forward. The solicitors believe that this correspondence has been in the hands of the police for two months, “and they have no doubt been pursuing the matter,” but the solicitors urge that it is not for the police te decide but the Coroner “We need not enlarge on Air Walker’s feelings ” the solicitors say in conclusion. “The girl’s father thinks there is now an opportunity for the matter to be# cleared up once and for /all, and lie earnestly asks that you give the matter vour most careful consideration and order a reopening of the inquest.
