DEATH OF A GIRL
FATHER CHARGED WITH MURDER. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 8.5 p.m.) Sydney, September 24. After further evidence at the inquiry into the death of May Schubert the Coroner returned a verdict that the girl died from strychnine poison feloniously administered by her father, whose whereabouts are unknown. A message from Sydney on September 19 stated: Detectives for many weeks have been trying to solve the mystery of a girl’s skeleton, discovered in a lonely bush at Red Head, near Newcastle. They have finally established identification by means of some jewellery, her false teeth and articles of apparel. She is May Schubert, aged 14, a former resident of Gloucester, a north coast village. The evidence at the inquest elicited the fact that she was taken to Newcastle early in the year to enter a maternity home, her father accompanying the girl, who was not afterwards seen. The father has since disappeared and cannot be traced.
