MELBOURNE, This Day.
William Biggs, whose wife was found drowned ofi St. Kilda on 18th November, told the police that there had been religious differences between himself and his wife. She was an unbeliever. It was one of his beliefs, as a member of the Plymouth Brethren, that a wifo could leave her husband, if one was a believer and the other an unbeliever. He, however, thought his wife would follow him to Now Zealand. He declared that she should have been possessed' of £10, and also a wristlet watch.
The police think that a £10 note in a handbag may be in the sea. They are taking steps to drag the bay in tho vicinity of tho spot where the body was discovered.
