GOVERNMENT OFFERS REWARD OF £250. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, Dec. 21. A reward of £250 in each case is offered for information concerning May Miller, aged 30, who was found murdered in Queen’s Park, Waverley, on December 10th, and Bessie O’Connor, aged 16, who was found fatally battered in National Park on Thursday last. The police are baffled. It is suggested that the crimes were the work of tho same person that was concerned in the Hilda White outrage in August. There is a striking similarity in that tho bodies were found in a state of nudity.
Hilda White, aged 32, a New Zealander, wa3 found strangled in Centennial Park on July 27th. Medical evidence was that Miss White was incapable of earning her living owing to a physical disability. She was seen talking with a man after the pictures the night befro her death. The Coroner returned a verdict of murder against some person unknown. A Russian, Victor Lamberto, otherwise Januschavsky who was arrested, was afterwards discharged.
