AIISSING CLERGYMAN. LONDON, August 22. Joseph Morgan, accountant, friend ot the Rev. Hutchinson, says that the Rector was worried in connection with his wife. A dispute led to proceedings between, them in the High Court last year. “I, as friend and counsellor, know the whole circumstances of the case. 1 have been trying to get in touch with him. There- is a considerable sum awaiting here as soon as lie lias complied with certain legal formalities. But 1 have not received word since he- left the Rectory. His total ■income- is about £ISOO. from the parish from a share- of school wont, and fro-m literary work.” The Daily Express -stated that the Rev. Hutchinson received, £36() just before hi-s departure from the- Rectory. Though* the- police- are- reticent it will not he surprising if the Hutchinson mystery should develop on sensational liiias. The strongest feature otf the- case is that Stravn’s room ivt thte Rectory was found in the utmost disorder. No one saw Stravn leave the Rectory, though it is believed that he accompanied the Rector in a motor-car. Tli© report- that the rector was married surprised the village, as it was generally believed he was n bachelor.
