STILL NO TRACE
Missing Bridegroom at
Stratford
By Telegraph—Press Association Stratford, January 7.
A makeshift camp containing bread pickles, and carrots, and sacks was found yesterday near the home of the missing bridegroom, Stanley Thomas Newlands. The pickles and bread were taken from the homestead. There is no trace of Newlands.
Newlands, who is 22 years of age, disappeared on Wednesday last from Midhirst while guests were waiting at the Stratford Presbyterian Church for his wedding ceremony, timed to take place at 11 o’clock. An hour before that he could not be found, and a car was found abandoned in the Beaconsfield Road.
After breakfast Newlands drove to Midhirst, where he remained for an hour, but after leaving the village all trace of him was lost. The police were informed, and a thorough search made, without result. Several guests meanwhile arrived at the church, but the bride did not leave home. The minister, the Rev. J. McGregor, on learning the bridegroom was missing, telephoned her, suggesting that the wedding be delayed an hour. Later, the guests went home.
