TWO WOMEN MURDERED
BRUTAL SYDNEY CRIME SHOT IN SUBURBAN SHOP MASKED FOBBER ESCAPES (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) SYDNEY, Sunday. A shocking double murder, the victims of which were women, was perpetrated late last night at Marrickville, a south-western suburb of Sydney. Two masked men, riding on a motorcycle, drove up to a confectionery shop kept by Mrs. Sarah Falvey and her sister, Miss Vaughan, both elderly women. The men attempted to rob the till. The women screamed, whereupon one of the men drew a revolver and shot both of them. Mrs. Falvey was killed instantly and Miss Vaughan subsequently died in hospital. A number of people in the vicinity heard the firing and saw one of the men with a smoking revolver running from the shop, but they could not capture them. The storiee of the eye-witnesses vary. Some say there were two men, others say there was only one. Robbery was apparently the only motive for the crime.
