Mystery attends the disappearance of Mrs. Agatha Christie, a well-known novelist, and wife of Colonel Christie. She spent the evening with her hus- : band, then packed an attache case and suddenly departed, notifying her secretary that she would not return that night. Next morning a boy found her motor car, containing the attache case and two pairs of shoes and some wearing apparel abandoned, and stuck in a hedge on the brink of a cliff at Newlands Corner, a beauty spot near Guildford. The appearance of the car show that it skidded after running down-hill without, the brakes being used. The police scoured the countrv and dragged ponds fruitlessly.
The husband told the police that his wife recently suffered a nervous breakdown, necessitating her going on a holiday.
