WOMAN BOUND AND GAGGED.
ARM BROKEN: £4OO STOLEN
A startling discovery was made by Mr and Mrs Green, of Upper Marsh, Lambeth, London, when they returned home after visiting a music hall. They found thei daughter, Edith, aged twenty-five, lying on the floor, bound hand and foot. She was in a semi-conscious condition, and was so tightly gagged that she could only breathe with the greatest difficulty. The parents freed her from her bonds and then discovered that her arm between the elbow and the shoulder.was broken and that she was suffering l from several other injuries. Mr Green ran into his bedroom where he had £4OO put away most of it in Treasury notes. It had gone. Miss Green was so dazed by the ordeal she had undergone that she could not give a coherent account of what had happened. She was taken to St. Thomas’ Hospital for treatment, but was not detained.
