MAYFAIR MURDER.
DETENTION OF A YOUTH. CURIOUS FEATURES OF CASE. A. and N.Z. LONDON, June 8. There has been a development, in connection with the murder of Sir George Lloyd's butler, Edward Rix, at his employer's mansion in Mayfair. The police at Sevenoaks, Kent, have detained the 17-years-old youth Arthur Bishop, formerly boots at Sir George's house. Bishop was recently living in a disused hut in the woods at Aldershot, where he was charged with housebreaking. He pleaded hunger as an excuse. Ho is a gloomy youth who reads many detective stories.
A curious feature of the case is a message in boyish handwriting which was found pencilled on a calendar hanging in Mr, Rix's room. This said "Many are the roads by which God carries His own to Heaven."
