NELSON MYSTERY
FOUND INJURED IN HOTEL STORY OF TAXI-RIDE Press Association. NELSON, Tuesday. No further particulars are available regarding the circumstances in which W. Ryan, of Redhills Station, Tophouse, was found in the lounge of the Trafalgar Hotel badly injured. It has been stated that Ryan, who engaged a room at the Trafalgar Hotel on Friday, was very lavish with money. When Ryan hired the taxi he was accompanied by another man and two girls, besides the driver. He is now able to remember being in the taxi until the party reached Moutere hills. From then until he regained consciousness in the hospital his mind is a blank. The driver of the taxi could throw no light on the matter. He was engaged by Ryan, and later dropped him at. the Trafalgar Hotel about 12 o’clock. His condition was not such as to allow of anyone taking his money without his knowing. He knew Ryan had a large sum of money about him. Besides two blackened eyes, possibly the result of concussion, the injured man is suffering from a fractured skull and a broken hip.
