Mr Wade, aged 57, canon of Lincoln Cathedral, was found dead in a gas-filled room at the vicarage. Mr Wade, -who was a widower for five years, recently announced his engagement to Miss Margaret Adcock, aged 18. Since that announcement he received shoals of anonymous “ poison pen ” letters, which Mr Wade described as “ so filthy and scurrilous that I had to have them censored before I read them.”
