AUSTRALIAN TRAGEDIES.
THE BANKSTONE CASE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received April 26, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY. April 27.
The evidence at the resumed inquest touching the death of the girl Porter disclosed a possible new solution of the mystery. Evidence was given that the deceased was friendly with a baker named Chard, and occasionally went for rides in his cart. The detectives submitted a report that there was a growing conviction amongst the police that the case was not one of murder, and it was suggested that the girl Porter was riding with- Chard and bumped off the cart and struck her head on a stump in falling. Medical evidence was given that the wound was compatible with this theory. The inquest was not finished, and Chard was bound over on his own recognisance to appear.
