THE CAULFIELD HORROR.
INTENSIVE SEARCHING.
MOTOR CAR TRAIL.
(Received 11.20 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, This Day.
In connection with, the Tuckerman murder the police have traced the girl's movements to 11.30 a.m. They believe that establishment of her movements immediately after that will clear up what is at present a mystery. Heavy rain fell at intervals on Saturday night and a point of interest is that neither the sacks nor the girl's elothes were wet. The majority of the buildings and stables in the locality have been thoroughly searched by the police. Piartially congealed blood was found outside one house, but investigations threw no light on the crime. The police found the deep impression of heavy motor car tyres close to the grass plot where the body was discovered. Following the tracks they found that the car had swerved from the centre to the side of the road. In this way it is thought that the body of the girl may have been brought from some distance. A similar theory was at first heard in connection with the Gun Alley murder, but it was later exploded. It is believed that the girl's death occurred about 8 o'clock on Saturday night. This outrage- and other recent crimes have awakened determination in the minds of the Ministry to have the police force reorganised.
