MURDER OF DETECTIVES
POLICE MAKE A DISCOVERY SIGNS OF GrlaT STRUGGLE. Bv Telegraph.— Asm. —Copyright. PERTH, May 25. An important development in connection with, the murder of Detectives Walsh and Pitman occurred when the police found the bicycles of the dead men hidden in a clump of scrub, apparently just where the owners left them. On AValsh’s cycle was a parcel of food, and on Pitman’s a waterbag half full of water. About 500 yards away was found a portion of tho gold treatment plant, with indications that a considerable quantity of gold had been treated. There were also signs that a , great struggle had occurred near the plant. There is little doubt that tho murders were committed at that spot.
