SOLVING A MYSTERY
CLOTHES FOUND NEAR BRIDGE RESULT OF INVESTIGATION (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND May 26. There is reason for the belief that the clothing, including the white coat, found on the bridge acioss the stream at Karaka early last Sunday morning, belonged to G. A. Woolley, of Tailored street. Linwood, Christchurch. Woolley was a painter by trade, and a few weeks ago he came up to Auckland. The unemployment lew book, which was found with the clothing bore the name "George A. Worley." and bore the same address as Woollev's. The difference in the two names gave the Auckland police some trouble at first, but to-day a relative of Woolley's informed them that she had reason for thinking that the two men were one. Inquiries were made, and it was discovered that, when Woolley came to Auckland recently, he suffered ill-health. The police have disproved the suggestion that the clothing found at the side of the bridge might have been stolen from the missing man.
