THE ELSIE WALKER MYSTERY
FATHER REQUESTS RE-OPEN-ING OF INQUEST.
Auckland, August 26
Mr. C. D. Walker, father of Elsie Walker, has had a letter written to the Attorney-General (Hon. T. K. Sidey) asking for a re-open-ing of the inquest. Mr. Walker’s solicitors, Messrs Potts and Hodgson, of Opotiki, say in the letter to Mr. Sidey that the recent publication of correspondence between Airs. M. Thomason and Mrs. Bayly has put an entirely new complexion on the matter, and Mr. Walker considers that now a lead has been? given, others in Te Puke may come forward. The solicitors believe this correspondence has been in the hands of the police for two months, “and they have no doubt been pursuing the matter,” but the solicitors urge that it is not for the police to decide but the Coroner. “We need not enlarge on Mr. Walker's feelings,” the solicitors say in conclusion. “The girl’s father thinks there is now an opportunity for the matter to be cleared up once and for all, and he earnestly asks that you give the matter your most careful consideration and order a rc-opening of the inquest.”
