CHILD’S BODY FOUND.
WHITE RAG TIED TO LUPINE BUSH.
- CHRISTCHURCH, August 2
Has a piece of Fuji silk a few inches long any association with the mystery provided by the discovery of human remains among the sandhills at North Brighton ? Near the spot where the bones were' found there was a piece of Fuju silk tied round the branch of a lupine bush, and the view is held that it has been tied round the branch since the death of the child. The bones found are obviously those of a small child, with flaxen hair, but it has not been possible yet to determine what was the sex of the child.
An inquest was opened yesterday before Mr H. P. Lawry, S.M.,’coroner, and adjourned after the boy John O. Lye had described the finding of the body, and also the finding of a white rag tied to a bush.
