Lynch, principal of the Lynch family of bellringers, who says he is practically certain, according to photographs shown to him of the deao girl, that her name was Nancy Ling, of San Francisco, who in 1934 came to Australia with the magician "Carter the Great" and toured in Tasmania. Victoria, and New South Wales. Mr. Lynch, who was with tl>e company, left It in Tasmania. The company then toured the East and disbanded after leaving Singapork. Carter died in South Africft. The police regard Mr. Lynch's story as a most promising clue and have invited him to come to Sydney to view the girl's body, which is preserved in a glass case in the university medical school.
