THE BONATI AFFAIR
TRUNK MURDER MYSTERY SCOTLAND YARD ON THE TRAIL Received May 15, 5.5 p.m. (A. &N. Z.) LONDON, May 14. Scotland Yard learned to-night from a domestic servant, a friend of Mrs Bonati, whose body was founs in a trunk, that the latter received a telegram on May 4 reading: “I am out. Come and see me.” This corresponds with the time she left her rooms at Chelsea, when she was last seen alive. The police believe that the murder was premediated, in view of the fact that the trunk was purchased before her death. The first theory that the murder occurred at Brixton is not strongly supported, and the police are now concentrating on locating a man released from gaol last week.
