Miss Evelyn Foster, a pretty brunette aged 28 years, the daughter of a garage proprietor, was found lying beside her blazing motor car on a lonely moor near Otterburn a few miles from the Scottish border late last night. Before dying in her father’s arms she described in whispers how she had been murdered. She said: “On my way home a stranger requested me to give him a lift, saying that he had come from Scotland. I took him as far as Belsay, when lie asked me to turn back, which L did. At Kirkwhelpington he stunned me with a blow on the head and threw me back into the car, which lie set on lire and pushed over a stone bank. I. remember being jolted across the moor and crawling from the blazing ca r.”
A bus driver saw the blaze and found Miss Foster terribly injured, with her clothes burned off.
