A TERRIBLE VIGIL
WOMAN GUARDS BROTHER’S BODY. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, November 9. (Received, November 9, 7.5 p.m.) Owing to a mystery regarding the whereabouts of her brother aged 74 years, the police outwitted an elderly spinster named Campbell and entered her house at Bournemouth to which all callers had been prevented from entering and found her brother’s decomposed body in bed. As he had not called for his old age 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 his body.
