YOUNG WOMAN’S DEATH
DISCOVERY BY SISTER [By Telegraph—Press Association] WELLINGTON, This Day. Miss Elsie Rawlinson, typist, who was about 25 years of age, was found dead in an apartment house in Boulcott street at about 1.30 on Saturday afternoon. Miss Rawlinson was very bright and cheerful when her sister, Mrs McClennin, with whom she was sharing a room, left for her work at about 8.30 on Saturday morning. On her return with a friend at about 1.30, however, Mrs McClennin found the bedroom door locked, and on going round to the window saw her sister lying in bed dead. Although there were about 12 other people in the house on Saturday morning, nothing was known of the girl’s death until her sister’s return and no sound was heard from her room. It is understood that Miss Rawlinson had been suffering from insomnia for some time. The sisters, who came from New Plymouth, had been staying at the house about eight xveeks.
