LONDON TRAGEDIES.

AN EPIDEMIC OF CRIME. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, March 6. The epidemic of crime and violence continues. Mrs. Sarah Blake, a widow, keeper of the Crown and Anchor Inn, Henley, was found with her throat cut and head battered. The motive is a mystery, as there was about £5OO in an unlocked box untouched. A tragedy is also reported in a fashionable fiat at Fulham. The body of a young woman, Gertrude Gates, known as Olive Young, was discovered in the bathroom. She was gagged, her throat cut, and head battered. A man, who was a frequent visitor, left hurriedly in the morning, telling the maid not to disturb Gates, who was Bleeping. A double tragedy occurred at Woodgreen, Hampshire. A young couple were found dead in bed in a bungalow, which they occupied alone. Partially emptied glasses of wine were alongside the bed. The couple were apparently wealthy. The man was an ex-soldier named Vincent Quinn. The woman has not been identified. Received, March 8, 7.35 p.m. London, March 7. In connection with the death of Gertrude Gates, the son of a titled lady was arrested at a- Hammersmith music hall, where he was occupying a box with a friend. The arrest was made without the knowledge of the audience. The arrestee was formerly a flying officer, and is a well-known habitue of West End dance dubs. He suffered shell shock at the war and has since been addicted to drugs and has been eccentric in his manner.—United Service.
