Received 12, 0 p.m. Melbourne, October 12. Harold Mathewson, aged 33, and Prossy Warwick, aged 13, were found dead in the scrub at Mordialloc. The facts indicate on inexplicable murder and suicide.
'Mathewson lodged at the house of the girl's mother, and often took the girl and her sisters to pictures and picnics. The position of the bodies points to the theory that Mathewson shot the girl with an automatic pistol, and turned the weapon on himself.
