THE GLENBROOK MURDERS.
A BODY RECOVERED. [Per Press Association.] SYDNEY, Jan. 21. Lesagh's body was discovered accidentally by a man hunting bees. The spot was located in rough, dense scrub and close to a private road. Excepting the coat, the body was fully clothed, and was jammed in a hole in a kneeling position, in a similar manner to Weller's body. The unfortunate man had evidently been shot from behind. The body was terribly decomposed, but was recognised by the clothing. SYDNEY, Jan. 22. There is some doubt whether the body found yesterday was that of Lesagh or Burgess, both of whom disappeared about the same time. Butler cannot be charged with the murder of the latest victim, as under the Extradition law, he can only bo charged with the crime for which extradition was granted.
