HEIRESS MISSING
POLICE FEAR KIDNAPPING
Miss Victoria Hennesley,
who disappeared last Saturday
evening, is feared by police
to be the victim of foul play.
Miss Hennesley was last seen
leaving her family estate near
Ballaraat on horseback during
the early afternoon.
The alarm was not raised
until quite late in the evening,
as Miss Hennesley is known for
her extended rides.
|
It was initially presumed
that Miss Hennesley may have
become waylaid due to the
inclement weather.
However, after several days,
it has become clear that any
difficulties Miss Hennesley may
have encountered could be more
severe than a foundered horse.
POSSIBLE KIDNAPPING
Police now fear that Miss
Hennesley may have been the
victim of foul play. Having
recently inherited the family
fortune from her late father, it
has been suggested that
|
unknown
ne'erdowells may have taken
advantage of her sudden affluence
and independent nature.
Mr J. Gallagher, to whom Miss
Hennesley is to be married this
coming spring, has rushed from
Melbourne to help police in their
enquiries.
INMATE ESCAPED
ORDERLIES DISCIPLINED
An inmate of Kew Asylum, Mr
William Clark, escaped from the
hospital grounds late yesterday
evening.
|
Mr Clark was asked to assist
orderlies in their duties by
moving a food delivery vehicle
to the rear of the hospital
facility where the kitchens are
located.
Several minutes later, it was
realised Mr Clark had left the
grounds at the wheel of the
vehicle.
Police have asked that anyone
sighting the truck, which has
KEW ASYLUM prominently displayed
on its sides, contact their local
station directly, but are
cautioned not to approach Mr
Clark.
