MET ‘DEAD” HUSBAND ALIVE
MAX WHO BANISHED AFTER BATHE. (By Mail.) LONDON, Sept. 15. The wife of a Preston coal merchant who yesterday attended her husband’s funeral to-day travelled home to meet him alive. Such was the extraordinary experience of Mrs. Kibble, who went with her husband to a Dorset seaside resort for a holiday on August 6. Two days later her husband went for a bathe, but failed to return. His clothes were found on the beach and it was presumed that he was drowned. Later a badly decomposed body was recovered from the sea and was identified as that of Mr. Kibble by Mrs. Kibble and a Preston dentist who recognised his own dental work. Yesterday, while the widow was attending the funeral of her husband in Dorset, the dentist recognised his client in Preston. Mr. Kibble said that he did not remember what happened after he entered the water until he found himself in a train. He was unaware that he had been reportea missing.
