May 2]__ The. conclusion of thsumysterious findiarof lMisa Edna Lee oi List- owell in the ‘Nalrn Lane a week ago Wednesday, will be learned today. While inspect- or Boyd remains reticent as to the conclusion, it is understood the mystery has been exploded and in a. manner that will be just as‘ astonishing-as was Miss Lee's discovery. No arrests will be made; no confession is looked for; no unearthing of a writer of an nnonyimu s letter. in fact there will be no direct action in the af- fair but merely a stntemenffrom the provincial police department through inspector Boyd. What the statement is can only be conject- ured. lt points entirely in one direction and it is felt its announce- ment wlil bring forth pity 0n all sides instead oi censure.
