MURDER SUSPECTED
MAN’S ARM FOUND IN SHARK SYDNEY CASE RECALLED. PROBLEM FOR AMERICAN POLICE. (Recd This Day, 1.20 p.m.) MIAMI (Florida), August 22. The police are facing a mystery reminiscent of the famous Sydney case. A fisherman caught a ten-foot shark in the gulf stream with a man’s arm in its stomach, severed between the elbow and shoulder and with a piece of rope attached to the wrist and forearm. The police are convinced that the shark did not sever the arm. It is estimated that the arm had been in the shark for two days. The manicured finger-nails indicate that it is not a labourer’s hand. The police suspect murder.
