Telegrams that would be produced by Mr Gamble gave the name of the murdered man as Gareller, but amongst the clothing in prisoner*!* possession were some ai tides marked " P.0.1'." Mr Gamble informed him that Parrelcr was a common name in the States, and that it wa.s quite possible that a mistake in the initial letter had been made in transmission. Cuff*, 1 ke, weie found in the portmanteau, and m the big trunk were a pair of drawers, white shirt and undershirt, each ot these marked with the initial v> "CAP." carefully worked on tmi material. One peculiarity uas that these were the only articles in the trunk which bore these initials, and another strange thing about them was that tlu*y were cut with some instrument such as a scissors, as if they had been taken off the body.
