PYJAMA GIRL CLUE.

Police Want to See Writer of Letter. SYDNEY, February 8. If they can get in touch with “ Leila Gee,” detectives believe they have a strong chance of discovering the identity of the Albury “ Pyjama Girl,” whose battered and partly burned body was found in a culvert on the Howlong Road, last September. “ Leila Gee ” has written to the Chief of the C. 1.8., Superintendent Prior, who has handed the letter to Detective Wilks for investigation. It refers to a girl who disappeared and the description tallies with that of the dead girl. This girl (says “ Leila Gee ”) made frequent trips to islands in the vicinity of Australia and to Melbourne. She named the girl and said she would give the police all possible help if they would say, through the newspapers, that they desired her to call upon them. “We would very much like this mysterious lady to come and be interviewed,” said Detective Wilks yesterday. Detective-Sergeant M’Rae and others investigating the crime have conducted SCOO separate inquiries, all of them abortive. They have completed the publication of the dead girl’s complete description in 105 countries. Replies have come from police departments in various countries, but no helpful clue.
