BRUTAL MURDERS
BODIES IN BLAZING SHOP (United Press Assn —Ele<*. Tel. Coryright) ADELAIDE, Dec. 13 The discovery of three murdered men. one of whom was a soldier, in a blazing shop in Adelaide confronts the police with one of the biggest mysteries in the crime records of the State. Evidently the building had been deliberately set on fire to destroy evidence of the crime. A strange feature was that each victim was found in a separate room of the building, which is a disused betting shop. Two of the men were dead when the firemen entered the smoke-filled building early on Saturday morning. The third man died in hospital a few hours later. Each man had been shockingly battered about the head.
