CLUE TO “PYJAMA GIRL” POSSIBLE
MEMBER OF TOURING THEATRE COMPANY? FORMER ASSOCIATE INVITED TO VIEW BODY (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received February 24, 11.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE, February 24. Detectives are still engaged in investigating the “pyjama girl” case and have established contact with Mr C. W. Lynch, principal of the Lynch Family of Bellwringers, who is practically certain, according to photographs shown to him of the dead girl, that her name is Nancy Ling, of San Francisco, who in 1934 came to Australia with the magician, Carter the Great, and toured Tasmania, Victoria and Sydney. Mr Lynch, who was with the company, left them in Tasmania. The company toured the East and then disbanded after leaving Singapore. Carter died in South Africa.
The police regard Mr Lynch’s story as most promising and have invited him to Sydney to view the girl’s body, which is preserved in a glass case at the University medical school.
