BAGS FULL OF SILVER.
MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY IN DUNEDIN.
Dunedin, April-7. This morning four leather bags full of silver were found in Hallestein Brothers right-of-way in Dowling Street at the back of the old Mutual Stores Building. Other loose silver was scattered about the ground. The labels on the bags indicated that the money belonged to David Livingstone, who controls several side-shows at the exhibition, and an auctioneer’s business in Princes Street. The money was in two small bags, a suit case, and a leather bag with a shoulder strap. The police are inquiring into the matter.
Mr. Livingstone, when approached, said that the money represented takings at the exhibition, and added that the takings were for more than one day. He said that he could not account for the finding of the money at that spot, saying, however, that his place had been broken into.
Rumour had it that the bags had contained about £IOOO, and that .sinstcr blood stains had been discovered on the bags. Such statements were unfounded, as a reporter saw the bags at the police station. There was no sign of blood, and the contents, too, had been somewhat over-estimated.
