BURWOOD WOMAN HEARD CRIES OF DISTRESS.
NOT THOSE OF CHILD, IT IS DECLARED. r (Contdued from Pago 1.) On Wednesday morning, when it is assumed that the murder was committed, cries were heard from the direction of the road by an elderly lady named Mrs Davis, who lives near the scene of the tragedy. She was discussing the matter with Mrs Delamain. who is emphatic that she heard cries, and remembered having noticed what she thought were children calling out. At the time Mrs Davis thought nothing of the matter, but after talking with Mrs Delamain it struck her as curious that both should have heard cries at the same time. Mrs Delamain is positive that the cries she heard were not thoseof a child. “ They were not screams,’' said Mrs Delamain. “ but cries as if someone was in deep distress. There were three cries she heard were not those of a chilcL They were too sharp for those of a child and as all the children were in school at the time, I noticed the noise at once.”
