BOURNEMOUTH MURDER.
DECOY TELEGRAMS. ■MARKS OF SEVERE STRUGGLE. By Telegraph.— Press Assn .—Copyright. London, Dee. 27. The murder of the young woman named Wilkins, who was found in a field near Bournemouth, promises to develop into a first-class mystery. Wilkins advertised in a London paper for a position as cook, and received a telegram inviting her to come to Bournemouth immediately, where a car would meet her at the station. It is reported that the girl was seen to enter a large blue car, and was never seen again alive. Scotland Yard has since discovered that <several other women received similar invitations, but refused them for various reasons. A third decoy telegram has turned up in connection with the Bournemouth tragedy. In this case the girl decided against accepting the offer. There are also clues as to the type of car and the murderer, who wae probably the chauffeur, and is described a-s wearing a blue uniform. He was smartly dressed, but illiterate, as all the telegrams show. There were marks of a severe struggle, which agree with the victim’s athletic record and flawless haracter.
