FOXTON MURDER; THE POLICE CONTINUE THEIR INQUIRIES
PALMERSTON N„ Last Night (PA).—Lacking definite evidence as to the time when the victim was last seen alive, a police investigating force today began a shop-to-shop and house-to-house canvas of Foxton in an effort to obtain information which may establish the approximate time when Mrs. Emily Christina Hall, widow, aged 69, was murdered. The police are now inclined to the view that she was murdered on Thursday night rather than seme time on Friday, as previously thought, and the advantages to the murderer of escaping unnoticed, from the house at night lends weight to this theory. The police are not without certain important clues, but it is deemed advisable not to disclose their nature at present.
