IDENTITY OF “PYJAMA GIRL”
INFORMATION TO POLICE FROM ALLEGED BROTHER (Received February 11, 6.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, February 11. The police received information from a man at Bourke, in the far west of New South Wales, that the murdered "Pyjama Girl,” whose body is still preserved in formalin at Sydney University, was his sister, Gwen Garland. Miss Garland was formerly in business in Sydney with a German importer of lingerie, whose photograph, with the girl, he still possesses. She went to Albury in 1934, just before her murder was reported in September 1934.
Garland said he had refrained from communicating with the police in deference to the wishes of the girl’s parents, but he was now disclosing the secret because he was having sleepless nights. The police have taken the matter up, but are not very optimistic.
