BOMBS DROP ON SLEEPERS IN LONDON CRYPT

DANCER'S DEATH MYSTERY

Police Considering Foul Play

Sir Bernard Spilsbury went to Brighton after being summoned by Det.- Supt. Pelling, Chief of Brighton C.I.D., to help to solve the mystery of the death of Mrs. Jack Buck- ley, the dancer.

After a long conference with Sir Bernard and with

Mrs. Buckley's son, who is in the Air Force, Supt. Pelling said:

"We must now definitely enter- tain the theory of foul play. There are many difficult features in the case, the most puzzling of which is the nature of Mrs. Buckley's injuries. Everything now depends on Sir Bernard's report. It is doubtful whether we will have the report before Monday."

Examination Of

Window

Mrs. Buckley lived in a block of modern flats in Western Road, where she conducted a dancing academy and club, and Sir Bernard spent a considerable time examining a window from which she is believed to have fallen to the ground below. He then went to the borough mortuary, where he conducted a post mor- tem examination.

Whole Family Missing

"They say they were asleep in deck-chairs when the bumbs fell

and that the shock was terrific."

The bombs dropped when most of the people in the crypt were sleeping and brought down piles of masonry on to the sleepers.

The whole of one family are missing.

Four of another family were also feared to be among the dead but were afterwards found in hospital injured.

A policeman in the crypt was killed and a warden was serious- ly injured.
