most revolving tragedies that has oe-

Capt. Hicks Murray, formerly of the
Gordon Highlanders. some seven or

East Bourne. Eng, Aug. 19.-No one
in East Bourne was sufficiently ac-
quainted with either the Murray or
the Mackie family to identity the
bodies definitely. The only survivor OF
the tragedy is the woman found on the
street, who said she was Mrs. Murray
and is now in hospital suffering
from severe wound and in a hysteri-
cal condition.
The house was rented by Mackie
from the town clerk of East Bourne.
He says the agreement expired, today.
but Mackie had notified him that he
desired to remain another two weeks
and would call. today. to make ar
engagements. He failed, however, to-
appear.

lilies were, whether the Murrays werel

ray has not yet been solved.
The only explanation of the tragedy
is an unsigned note found in a silver
vase carefully deposited in the vesti
bule just inside the front door. In the
vase was also $32 in English gold
and silver, indicating that the family
was not in financial difficulties.
