EASTBOURNE HORROR.

A MYSTERIOUS GRIME. ANOTHER WOMAN MISSING. ■res» Association—Electric T'eiegrapn— Uopyrig. LONDON, Tuesday. The detectives investigating . the Eastbourne horror, during the night called up several vessels bound for South Africa, in consequence of inliormation that Miss Kay told a friend at the end of March that she would soon be marrying and going to Africa. She was a woman with fair, bobbed hair, and was last seen in the bungalow at Eastbourne on April 12th. Apparently the inquiries were fruitless, because after making inquiries throughout the day the. police announeed that they were satisfied the .victim was Miss Kay, who was by occupation a bookkeeper. The police are digging up the bungalow garden in the hope of discovering the victim’s missing head. Thera is no trace yet of the dark-haired woman who also visited the bungalow. Patrick Mason, the detained man', is known to have a i wife, whom the police are seeking. The Daily Express says Mr de Beilbv, a veterinary surgeon at Hailshem, near Eastbourne, says the dead woman’s correct name is Emily Beilby Kaye, and that she w r as his cousin. Her parents died when she was a child. Miss Kaye spent a holiday of three weeks in August with Beilby and his wife, and also wrote from a club frequently. Beilby was surprised to receive a letter three weeks ago. saying she was engaged, and intended to be married in Capetown, where her fiancee had obtained a post. Beilby wrote immediately asking her to visit him before her departure, but he received no reply.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. EVENTS MOVING RAPIDLY. (Received Wednesday, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, Tuesday.
