True success story

By I. ll Jlaeartaur

37-year-old school teacher who dropped out of sight and whoac'blood- stained car was found parked in Rosedale ravine. Police are proceed- mg on assumption that Greene. shown above with his wife, met with

foul play. Simultaneous disappearance of Mrs. Berfirice R pupil of Greene's, may be linked with mystery, police think.

TORONTO, Aug. If-(OP) -'Tll.h. possibility of a fatal love triangle is being investigated by police as they seek a married schoolteacher who disappeared at the same time as .1 bricklaycr's wife he once taught at night school.

Alfred P. Greene, 38. was report- ed missing Friday. more than SC. hours after his abandoned automo- bile. with bioodstalns on its lea- ihor upholstery, was discovered under a. bridge in East-Central Rosedale Ravine.

The disappearance of the woman Mrs. Betty Reason. 31, came to light when police questioned mcnds and acquaintances of the missing man. An acquaintance tel-'1 police Greene had mentioned Mrs. llvason to him. In trying .'.o find her. police found that she also had vanished.

Greene's wallet. apparently rifled and left in the car, contained three photographs of the vivacious brun- cite, who has been married four times. police said.

The thick-sct, bespectacled. bushy-haired teacher of English and history at Toronto's Ddnflth Technical School, set out from n sun:-mer cottage on Lake Sitncoc. 75 miles north of here, at 7.15 PM Tuesday to drive to Toronto. Six hours later. patrolling police saw his small. British-biult car aband- oned on the marshy side of a little- used roadway in the ravine.

Tile ignition keys were in th: ('liF.

Ali:-r Mrs. Greene notified pol- ice in 3 P. M. hiday that her hus- band was missing. poll-ch examined the car for fingerprints. They found the splashes of blood. a broken pair of sprctacies thought to belong to Greene and a ransacked army hav- crsack. believed to have been kept by Green as a souvenir of his days as an army sports instructor at Pctawawa. ont.. during Second World War.

it was one of the most baffling

cases since the still-unsolved slay- pe

ing of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc- Kay of Toronto A year ago-one thoory is that the Mi:-Kays . were killed by a hitchhiker during a drive from Lake slmcoe cottage to 'l'cr.:nio. rank Reason. husband of the mi:-.ing woman. said she left. him Sunday and telephoned Tuesday night to say she had decided to run away with a married mall. He said she had been a member of Gr!-cne's night-school class in English last winter and had taken special lessons in English at Greene's home during the spring. Mrs. Reason and Greens paid several visits to the west-central office of Dr. S. J. Woolfson. polid: said. The latest was Tuesday after- noon when Mrs. Reason asked . wooifson for a prescription for sedatives and headache tablets. she took the prescription to a spadlna avenue drug store and was told the sedative was of a weak type. Police reported she then re- turned to the doctor and asked for in stronger one. When he refused.

, former

she was reported as saying:

"You're afraid to' give me a stronger type because you think I'll commit suicide."

She then left. Woolfson said she had told him she was married but had a boy friend and planned to run away with him.

Police traced Mrs. Reason to a rooming house on North-End Briar Hill avenue. to which they sa.i.i she was taken Sunday night by a man answering Greene's descrip- tion. she was registered there as Mrs. Reid. She told the landlady Tuesday night that she was check- ing out and, soon after a man came for her in a car. Neighbors told police the car was similar to Greene's.

Officers who examined the car said splashes of human blood or the windshield and front seat in- dicated Greene was attack:-i while in his car. having possibly been struck on the forehead or on tho tcp of his head. There were no bul- let marks in the car.

Police said it was possible that the man and woman. if together in the car, left the vehicle alive They said they could have been abducted or perhaps walked away from the car.

Greene's wife suggested that her husband was attacked by a hitch hiker during his drive to Toronto. She said that. despite warnings frcrn his family and friends. he would never pass a person walking on the road if there was mom in his car. t

she and the children had been with him at the cottage.

Greene, married, nine years and father of four children rang-.ng in age from eight years to six months was described by friends as a 53,000-a-year teacher who went in for several good-Diving Bideilmlf and often displayed rolls of bank- notes ting to 5200 or E300 He made some of his money by sell- ing subscriptions to a weekly new.-

chantilly lace designed in princess Dartmouth count Mm mmymg privately and in a Boston law of- fice, he qualified for a lawyer in

settling at Portsmouth. N. H. he rose rapidly in his profession. Dur- ing the first year of his practice Webster took little interest in poll- tics, but in 1912 having already started to set the world on fire. he was elected to congress by the anti-

Committee of Foreign Affairs, and his maiden speech. delivered June l0. 1813 upon Berlin and Milan de- crees. made the House and country sit up and take notice. I-lls later speeches on the increase of the navy, which he warmly recom- mended, and the repeal of the em- bargo placed the onoe backwoods boy in the first rank of debatora. O O 0 -Mr. Webster removed to Boston in 1816 and retired for a time from political life to devote himself wholly to his profession. His great- est triumph was arguing points of Constitutional law, and his in this direction soon brought him favourably before the public. One of Daniel Webster's greatest bursts of rhetorical power came in i820 when he gave an address on the Pilgrim Fathers. This, together with his masterly address at the laying of the cornerstone of Bunker Hill Monument in 1826 made him ifamoua as an orator. Game 1022, he was elected to Congress. and he was re-elected in 1824 and again in 18'”. At the end of his last term he was chosen senator for Massachusetts. On Jan. 1830. Daniel Webster delivered what many believed was his most furious speech. This speech was in favor of the Nationalist view of the Consti- tution and was a. reply to a speech made by Robert I-Iayne of South Carolina. The address created a. great sensation throughout the Union and probably was more wide- ly circulated than any other in American history up till that time. 0 O O

In race the great statesman paid a visit to mlrope where he was roy- ally received by all claues. - Popular as he was. Webster fail- ed to get to the White House, but on the election of General Harrison. he was made Secretary of State. retaining the office until 1048. The chief event of this period was the negotiation. of the famous Webster -Ashburton. treaty with England, which proved a mutual advantage to both parties. In 1946 he was re- elected to the Senate. a. position he filled until his death.

His biography has been written by George Curtis.

baskets were carried in by Misses Eleanor Nicholson and Beatrice MaoLeod. The gifts were unwrap- ped by Misses Eleanor smith and Eleanor Nicholson. I Miss Verna Newman read the accompanying verses and Miss Shirley Bernard passed them to the bride to be read. Miss Beatrice MacLeod received the gifts from the bride-to-be and Miss Gladys Parkman arranged them on the table. The gifts were many and beautiful which included a beauti- ful trilight. floor lamp from the bride's friends on the Fredericton Telephone line.
