It was, by the within a short distance of [house that nearly three y jthe dead-body of Irene Munro, a soring London typist, was found, and in connexion with where murder two men named Gray and Field were executed. The officers searched the house and discovered many traces of @ gructome evitac, in fact, portions of a body which showed that the vietion: must have been a tall well-made woman, although there was no hea, and for this the police are now digging in the garden. One doubte, however, if the head will ever be die ed because, clearly, the eri has been making away with bits of the body and he had more than a fortnight to do it in. The victim has, however, been identified a Miss Emily Beilby Keye, wno seems to have been a North-country girl and to have started life in Manchester, where she was employ-fed as secretary to Messrs. Beith, Stevenson & Ca., merchant ship: pers, and she left Manchester in October, 1922, to take up a similar position in London. During the 18 months before her departure from Manchester, Miss Kaye was in apartments in Oswald Road, Charlton, and her landlady stated yesterday that it was impossible to imagine a nicer girl to have living jin a house. She was reveryed, homely, athletic, and fond of novel reading; she had no male friends. Her favourite game was Jawa 18 tennis, but she was also fond of golf.and used to go off early on Sunday mornings to play with friends in the country. Miss Kaye iwas for five years a member of Edgelane Lawn Tennis Club, and she was one of the first ix play ers in a strong ladies' team connected with that club. Shortly be-the club received a letter from Miss Kaye saying she was going to be married to a boy she had only known six months, and that they were going out to Africa in three weeks' time. Her Manchester friends subscribed for a wedding present, and despatched it three weeks ago, but to their surprise they received no acknowledgment. What known, though she undoubtedly stayed' at Eastbourne, since her clothing has been recognized by the hotel girl clerk. There seems to no doubt whatever, from a Ietter she wrote to her friends, that che did intend to tarry and go to" South Africa."
