SUSPECTED DROWNED. OR HIDDEN IN COUNTRY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 28, 10.10 p.m.) MELBOURNE, January 28. List continues to elude hia pursuers. It ia believed that he may either have drowned himself in the Yarra, or one of the numerous quarry holes in Richmond, or have made his way to one of the lonely hamlets in the back country which are without police since the police strike, all members of the force having been called to the capital. Another theory is that be ia disguised as a woman, his figure lending itself admirably to such a disguise. The question also has been raised whether he was the perpetrator of a robbery in a pastrycook’s shop at Malvern on Saturday night. When a young woman assistant was about to 6hut the shop a dark, unshaven man, with his hat crushed over his dyes entered die shop, produced a revolver and cried: “For God’s sake give me some cakes.” Holding the revolver against her head he seized a block cake and a quantity of pastry, and then ignored her till he escaped on a motor-cycle.
