More Remains Found In Garden COf London's "Murder House" LONDON (CP)--S8cotland Yard detectives today uncovered new re- mains believed to be human in the garden of London's '"'murder hous ~a dingy flat that already has yielded the bodies of four women. The discovery came as anxious police warned that the sadistic sex- strangler, known as 'My. Murder" may strike again at Monday's full moon. The flat and now the garden of the house in the seedy Notting Hill district have yielded a series of gruesome discoveries since Tues- day. The killer had walled up three 'of the bodies in a pantry and the fourth under the floor of the living room. ' Detectives had worked around the clock digging up the garden and prying open the floors and walls before unearthing a number bones and scraps of material in the corner of the garden near a high wall. Dr. F. E. Camps, home office pathologist, was present in the gar- den when detectives made the find. Earlier, Scotland Yard detectives had expressed fear that the killer may have claimed two more vic- tims--21-year-old Margaret Boyle and a young waitress known only as '"'Kay." Both lived near the hor- ror house--and both are missing. Police believe the moon-mad killer already has picked out an- other victim and will strike Mon- day unless he is caught, The big- gest post-war manhunt is under way in the hope of rounding him up before then, Every British policeman has been shown a picture of John R.H. Christie, the 55-year-old trucking clerk who was a tenant in the house of death for 18 years. Chris- tie's 45-year-old wife = was the strangler's first known victim. Newspapers all over the coun- try printed a picture of Christie, who, Scotland Yard says, "might be able to help them with their investigation." 4 Normally a suspect's photograph is not published until he appears in court so as not to prejudice his case, But the director of public prosecutions, fearing. the killer may strike again, yesterday gave special permission for publication of the picture to forewarn unsus- pecting women. Probe Exonerates Windsor Constable WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--The po- lice commission Friday exonera- ted constable Gilbert Robitaille of guilt in four charges laid on the sis of statements made by Cecil th, a former "king" of local bootleggers whom the commission termed "a consummate liar." After the commission's decision was handed down, police chief C.W. Farrow announced Robitaille's pro- motion to sergeant. Smith demanded protection un- der the Canada Evidence Act, giv- ing him immunity to civilian criminal charges as a result of his testimony, before he would elaborate on charges he made last week that he was the victim of a "'police shakedown." Robitaille was charged with re- ceiving JLevents of $600 and $100 and wil demanding $400 from Smith "in an attempt to defeat, prevent or obstruct the course of justice." The fourth charge was that he threatened Smith with bodily harm, » A written judgment issued by commission chairman Judge Archi- bald Cochrane of Brampton and crown attorney MacDonald, a com- mission member, said that on the basis of evidence there was only "one possible conclusion we can reach--that there is no truth what- ever in Smith's evidence." ""We accept the evidence of con- stable Robitaille on all essential points." Union Warns Miners To Go Back To Jobs NEW WATERFORD, N. S.

It was not immediately clear whether the acceptance depended upon resumption of the talks. The Red answer, heard here, was broadcast over the Communist Peiping radio. Gen. Mark Clark, UN Far East commander who made the offer Feb. 22, Said he had received the message and would release a state- ment shortly. '""'We are going to study this offer very closely," Clark said. "We want to be sure there isn't any- thing in it we don't understand." He indicated his reply to the Reds would favor resumption of the truce talks if the' Communists really meant their acceptance. Even as the Red radio broadcast the message to Clark, Allies in Korea were fighting furiously to throw back the biggest Red as- saults in five months. The Communist reply was signed by North Korean Premier Kim Il Sung and Peng Teh-huai, comman- der of Chinese forces in Korea. It said: '"'our side. . .fully agrees to your side's proposal to exchange sick and injured prisoners of war of both sides during the period of hostility." They also suggested the ex- change could pave the way to '"'smooth settlement of the entire question of the prisoners of war. . .

The Communists have insisted on return of all the 122,000 PoWs in UN camps, but the UN has re- ported only about 81,000 of these have indicated willingness to re- turn to their Red homelands. The Chi said Dec. 18 they Communists Accept UN Offer For Exchange Of Prisoners; Seek To Resume Peace Talks were holding 3,198 American PoWs. They also are holding many more South Koreans plus prisoners from UN countries fighting in Korea. The text of the Red letter to Clark also was broadcast by the North Korean Red radio at Pyon- gyang. The Communist letter said both sides reached agreement last yegr on the question of repatriating the sick and injured prisoners, but claimed there was no way to com- plete arrangements because the talks were broken off. "It was solely because the. . . negotiations were suspended that there was no way to implement this agreed provision," the letter said. Clark's letter offering the ex- change of sick and injured prison- ers said the UN command "re- mains ready immediately to repat- riate those. . .personnel." "I wish to be informed whether you are prepared for your part to proceed immediately with the re- patriation , , . " Clark asked.
