Jumping the Rattler in Quest for Melbourne Tragedy

A Cairns magistrates court heard witness accounts about a man described as Morris Kelly or James Kelly, seen with a canvas bag and a black horse, who spoke of leaving a job, jumping the rattler to Brisbane then Melbourne, and was linked to the Walters death. Detectives traced a canvas bag and tin of meat, while witnesses from Cairns and Gordonvale described the visitor's appearance, movements, and possible route toward Melbourne or the Northern Territory. The inquiry, led by Inspector Mann, included testimony from old-age pensioner Jamesession and other locals, with the case adjourned to allow further evidence from Michael Kelly.

Treasury Department reports eight months of investigations into the arrest of 14 customs border inspectors for wholesale graft. About half the liquor brought from Canada was diverted with inspector connivance. The entire patrol is being reorganised, with 100 percent honesty promised and roughly 50 inspectors to be dropped.
