sydney, N. & W.-Released from the city prison after serving a nine months sentence for a number of petty larceny offenses. Norman Graf ton, an t.nglishman, about thirty years ol age, applied to the Hon l.. R. Burns, prominent solicitor and one ol number of people whom he had mulcted on British magazine sub scrlptlons, for aid to assist him ill leavlng the country.
 MT. Burns had not appeared against dfa1ton in the criminal proceedings and the fellow said he came to thank the solicitor for his consideration. lie was very smooth ta1kef and at once won the friendship of MT Burns.
 On being questioned concerning his lie Ill England, Grafton told an appar elltly straightforward story, so i1n- pressing MT Burns that the latter in- Vlted him to his home, with the inten- ton of having him dine, supplying him Wlth good clothes and furnishing him passage money to the old country.
 But upon arriving at the rich and handsome Burns residence on Haver- ley lane, Grafton took a look at the premises and immediately began to make excuses about enterings saying that his clothes and general appear ance would not permit him. But as his would-be host urged, Grafton of fered the excuse that he had forgotten until that moment that he had pro- missed to meet friend Thereupon, very excited, he hurried from the vicinity.
 MT. Burns believed that all was not right and going into the house he re- lated his suspicious to his family, in- cluding a daughter who had married in England during her school days iii that country and whose husband, Charterhouse student, attempted to drown her at a lake in Scotland. l Whither they had gone on their honey
 moon
 In the meantime the husband, whose name was Henry Grafton Studley, had secured possession of all her valuables. including about $1,750 in cash which she had drawn from the Exeter bank. The felloV immediately fled England and Ciligent search by the English and Continental police failed to trace him. With her fathers description of the stranger Mrs. Studley, who has long since resumed her maiden name and | who has never quite recovered from | her terrible experiences of night at 1 Lough Inver, told her suspicious. and 1 Mir. Burns at once communicated with l the authorities, with the result that today the police of all Australia are | looking for the man.
 1 He is believed to be not only the I one who attempted to make away with ] the young woman six years ago, but also the culprit, at that time unknown and unsuspected, who induced the | Hon. Lena Parcsen, daughter of | Count Parcsen of Denmark, to elope | from the Exeter Girls school in 1885, | and whose body was found floating i in Inver lake during the first days of l NAAAN' I tragedy but little was published in England at the time.
 Miss Burns until today had never shown picture of her renegade hus- band ard the would-be murderer. but when her father saw the photograph he was unable to say whether or not it was the man who had appealed to him for aid, a full blond beard being worn by the ex-
 prisoner, while the photograph re- yealed a boyish looking student.
 Endeavoring to explain the fellows
 sudden change of mind when the home was reached, Miss Burns says that at the time of her love affair in ] England she had no pictures of her home or parents, but that just few days previous to her flight newly made photograph of the Sydney man sion arrived in the mails, and she re- calls that her husband studied it carefully
