ECCENTRIC SISTER'S SECRECY.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Reed. 7.5 n-m.") LONDON. Nov. 8.
A mystery regarding the whereabouts of an old-age pensioner named Campbell, aged 74, has been solved by the police.
Members.of the force outwitted Campbell's sister, an elderly spinster, by entering her house at Bournemouth, to which all callers had been prevented from entering.
Campbell's decomposed body was found in bed. As he had not called for his pension since March it is believed that he died about that time and that his sister, who is strange in her manner, had since guarded the body.
