BRUTAL MURDERS IN ENGLAND.
Problem For Scotland Yard BLOODHOUNDS ASSIST POLICE. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, August 25. The police are faced with the solution of two particularly brutal murders. Police Constable Self was found with a terribly injured head at Golder’s Green and died in hospital. It is believed that he was questioning somebody, who aroused his suspicions, when he was attacked. The whole resources of Scotland Yard are organised, and for two days have combed London with unequalled thoroughness. Scores of detectives, many disguised, have engaged in the hunt. The second crime was revealed with the discovery of the nude and terribly injured body of a young woman named Mary Learoyd, aged thirty-six, daughter of a building contractor at Ilkley, Yorkshire, on a vacant area of land 100 yards from her home. A stocking was wound tight around her neck. A strong body of police are scouring the district, using bloodhounds.
