JEWELLER MURDERED.
ENTICED TO HOTEL. TIED UP AND SUFFOCATED. • (Received Monday, 10.55 p.m.) ADELAIDE, February 7. A man walked into a jeweller’s shop and said he was acting on behalf of a man who was lying ill at an hotel. He made inquiries regarding jewellery. The manager of the shop, John Robert Hindmarsh, took three single diamond rings, valued at £6O each, motored to the hotel, and went to a certain bed-
room. In the morning a maid opened the door at 9.30 to announce that breakfast was ready, and observed a man in bed apparently asleep. She did not wake him. Two hours later, on
again going to the room, she saw the man in the same position. The police
were called and it was found that the man in bed was dead. He proved to be Hindmarsh.
The police are of opinion that he was enticed to the room, where he was bound and gagged, but the assailants took too long over their work and Hindmarsh was suffocated. A young man is detained in connection with the matter. —(P.A.)
