Claverley Mystery is News Again
r Per Press Association. Copyright.']
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
Police inquiries into the Claverley mystery took a new turn yesterday, when Superintendent S. Rawle and Chief Detective W. H. Dunlop left by car for Kaikoura.
There they joined Senior-Sergeant J. Bickerdike, who left for the Claverley district immediately after the inquest on Tuesday into the death of Mrs Harriet Jane Patience. A conference of the men in charge of the Claverley mystery was to have been held at Kaikoura yesterday afternoon.
The post-moi’tem examination of the body of Mrs Patience, who disappeared from the Public Works Camp at Claverley on October 4 last year, is being continued by Dr. A. B. Pearson, pathologist at the Christchurch hospital.
It is believed he has determined the cause of death, and that the renewed police activity yesterday is the result of his first report.
