THE EASTBOURNE HORROR
A SELF-POSSESSED PRISONER.
DARK LADY FOUND. (Press Association—Copyright.) London, May 7.—When Mahon was formally charged at Hailsham with the murder of Emily Kaye, he replied: “It was not murder.” He was remanded. Public, excitement over the crime is remarkable. People motored to Hailsham from all parts of the country. Women and men climbed the high wall and rushed the doors ©f the court until 200 crushed into seats intended for 50. The accused showed no trace of emotion. The final sensation of the day was the announcement that the police had traced the missing dark woman, and that she would give evidence to-mor-row. She states that she was driven to the bungalow on Good Friday, three days after the doctors believe Miss Kaye died. After Mahon motored her back to Eastbourne he wont on to Plumpton races. —(A. and N.Z.) A MASSIVE STATEMENT. (Received 5.5 pan.) London, May B.—The “Daily Express ’ ’ says that Mahon’s statement to the police would 'fill a whole page of the “Express.” It would necessitate many weeks’ inquiry.—(Reuter.)
