GIRL’S BODY IN TANK
BULLET AND BLOOD TELL TALE OF MURDER SOUTH OF FRANCE MYSTERY (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Saturday. Sensational developments are expected in connection with the death of Miss Olive Branson, a cousin of an English High Court Judge, sir George Branson. Her body was found in a water tank near a villa where she had lived at Lex Baux, a village in the South of France. The police at first concluded that it was a case»of suicide. The relatives of Miss Branson refused to believe that, however. A post-mortem examination revealed a bullet in the dead girl’s head and bloodstains were found in her bedroom. It is argued that Miss Branson could not have shot lierself and then walked to the tank 20 yards away in her stockinged feet and in night attire and, therefore, that it is a case of murder.
