GRUESOME DISCOVERY AFTER 30 YEARS United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Receiv«d Sunday, 7.0 p.m. SYDNEY, May 8. A grim discovery was made in the Grafton bond store in Kent street, city, to-day when a zinclined case containing 100 skulls was uncovered by the manager and employees during a clean-up of the store. The case had lain in the store for over 30 years awaiting a claimant, hut no record of its ownership or the method of its arrival is traceable. All the skulls, which are believed to be of Pacific islanders, were in a good state of preservation, especially the teeth, which in all cases are nearly perfect.
