SUSPECT AT LARGE
Women and Children Warned
SYDNEY
The primary suspect in the shooting of Mr. Charles Leadbeater, at Mosman, remains at large. Women and children have been warned not to go out unaccompanied. The man, an American, is believed to be in hiding and may try to escape by fleeing the country. A police cordon now surrounds the district in which the fugitive is hiding. It is hoped that he will be forced to surrender through hunger.

“Rowly, Rowly… come on, pal, wake up.”
Rowland groaned. Someone was slapping his face. He opened his eyes.
“Stop hitting me, you i***t!”
Hubert Van Hook sat back, relieved.
“Whew… I was beginning to sweat.”
“What happened?”
“I was trying to make sure you didn’t holler when you saw me, and then you fainted I think.”
