By Telephone — '
SYDNEY, Tuesday. It has been revealed that a telegram received by Mr. W. A. Holman, K.C., who has chambers in the building where the body of Marjorie Gilligan, aged 15 years,.was found, led to the discovery of the crime. (It was previously cabled that the body was that of a middle-aged woman). The telegram was ostensibly from Mrs Bryce, an aunt of the girl, wh^> cannot be located. The police last night discovered a woman's body at the water's edge at Cronulla beach. Detectives believe the woman, who apparently committed suicide may be identical with the one for whom they are searching in connection with the murder. The tragedy is becoming increasingly surrounded by mystery following the discovery of the body of a woman drowned at. Cronulla, which is believed to be that of Mrs May Bryce, aunt of the dead girl. It is now learned that Mrs Bryce's 18-year-old daughter, Dulcie, who is a briiliant university student, is missing and it is feared that she has also met an untimely end.
