The Greenwich Murder Case
By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright.
[per united press association. I Sydney, March 20.
The self-accused murderer, Carroll, has been formally charged with the murder of Miss Clouston, or as the affair is more widely known, the Eltham murder. One circumstance which gives an air of probability to Carroll's story is that at the time of the murder it was reported that a soldier had been seen running away from the spot where the murdered girl was subsequently discovered. This man could not afterward be found. It will be remembered that Carroll was a soldier, and had deserted. It appears, however, that he had not deserted when the murder was committed, and his own story bears out the theory that he was the soldier seen at the time.
Auckland March 20. The Star says that James Pook, cousin of the printer who was accussed of the Greenwich, murder, is in the employ of Mitchelson and Co, Auckland. Walter Pook at last news was working with his father at Greenwich, having returned seven or eight months after the trial. J. J. Pook and his father were both discharged from their situations in Greenwich because of relationship to the suspected lad.
