BURWOOD MURDER. The body was found by a boy named Eric Mugford. lUs story is 'hat he arrived within a. distance of where the body was, and saw a •nan, who ho thought had been tanding there, turn and rush off through the broom. He made for a part of the broom where the growth was very dense, slashing the ju.shes aside with his arms and learing a path. The boy did not joo his face, as the man had turned :tio quickly. All he got a clear view of was the man’s back. Mugford went t«> where the man had been standing and saw a leg obtruding from the undergrowth. He saw that there was blood about, and thinking it was a case tf suicide he became upset and came away, reporting the matter to the first perEon ho met. The police are searching the undergrowth for a weapon. The area covered by the broom and lupins is very extensive going back fully a mile towards New Brighton. It IS .60 dense in parts that if is almost 'mpossible to get through it on torseback. Tho only Tva<-lcs that exist are tho wandering tracks made ay cattle. I ; I 3>’OZBT CKJLBB. LONDON, June 14. D’Oisy’s hair was singed in the •rash and one hand was slightly inlured. Jlis companion, Gouin, frantically gesticulated to the accompanying ’plane and the pilot, seeing Chat the airmen were safe, immediately returned to I.e Ilourget, With the tidings for the wives, who were terrified spectators of the blazing machine. Meanwhile, scores of aeroplanes, and ambulances rushed to the {tcene and were overjoyed to find Llic men alive. The airmen regretfully left the debris of the machine and motored :o Le Bourget, and thence to Paris. The meteorological bulletin Was distinctly bad, but D’Oisy was very mxious to bo ahead of Carr and Hack worth, who are still awaiting tt Cranwell. Aviation circles are deeply dlslppointed because so much was expected of the flight. MEETING OP CREDITORS . A meeting of creditors in the estate of James Gracie, hotelkeeper.
