THE BOURNEMOUTH MURDER.
NO CLUE FOUND. THREE INCRIMINATING TELEGRAMS. (Received 7.25 p.m.) London, Dec. 29.—There has been a country-wide hunt for Miss Wilkins’s murderer, but thus far no clue has been found. At least four cars are supposed to have been seen at Bournemouth station on the evening of the murder. Vast stretches of the New Forest were explored in vain, and the river at Christchurch was dragged. It is believed the murderer is a sex maniac and likely to make a second attempt in view of his success. A postman narrates that he saw a ear standing on a roadway, with lights dimmed, within 10 yards of the bank at the time of the murder. There was nobody in the oar. The most promising clue consists of the three telegrams, with curious spelling, sent to Miss Wilkins by other women. These have been published in eve<ry newspaper, and hotelkeepers have been asked to identify the writing. Several motorists have been detained and released.—(A. and N.Z.)
