NO TRACE OF MISSING LOTTERY OFFICER. DISAPPEARANCE SHROUDED IN MYSTERY. HOPE ALMOST ABANDONED BY POLICE. SYDNEY, May 29. Police who are investigating the disappearance of Alexander Collins, assistant director of the State Lottery Office, have almost abandoned hope of finding him alive. A search of rough scrub country near a week-end cottage which Collins owned at North Sydney has commenced. (Remarkable circumstances are associated with Collins’s mysterious disappearance. All trace of him was lost last Saturday, the day after he was married, and a note subsequently found at the Lottery Office contained his will, which gave no clue to his future intentions. Examination of his books at the Lottery Office revealed that everything was in order.)
