IDENTIFICATION OF TWO MEN
/ Australian Police Seek Aid (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 23. A possibility that two men whose bodies were found in the Murrumbidgee river, in New South Wales, last month, were New Zealanders or went to Australia from this country is raised in a letter from the Sydney police to the New Zealand police. The letter, with a description of the two men, has been received by the Wellington C. 1.8. from the feuperintendent-in-charge of the Sydney C. 1.8. (Mr D. Caiman) who has asked that the descriptions be circulated. The bodies were found on March 18 against a log in the river five miles downstream from Gundagai. The men had been four to eight weeks in the water and had apparently been drowned, says a Sydney newspaper report. One man, aged 25 to 30, was brownhaired, 6ft, and was wearing a leather zip-fronted jacket and flying boots. The other, 40 to 50, about sft 6in, had black hair, a withered left leg, and a lOin scar down the middle of the stomach.
