CLOTHES ON BRIDGE
INQUIRY BY POLICE
, A POSSIBLE TRAGEDY (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May 23. Mystery surrounds the discovery on Sunday morning of a pile of clothing on a bridge across a stream at Karaka and the finding of an unemployment levy book bearing the name, George A. Worley. The police are making inquiries in various parts of New Zealand to determine if Mr. Worley is missing from his home. So far as it is known he is not a resident of Auckland. • . ' At 8 o'clock on Sunday morning a passer-by noticed the clothes lying in a heap at the side of the bridge. He found a pair of trousers, waistcoat, collar, and tie, a painter's white cqat, and the levy book. He communicated with the constable at Papakura j and a search was at once made in tWe locality, but no one appeared :to be missing. Inquiries made at..the. .office of the. Auckland Painters' Union showed that if the clothing belonged to Mr. Worley and he is a painter he is not a member of the Auckland union. One suggestion is that, among other things, the clothing was stolen from Mr. Worley and subsequently thrown near the bridge; although there is evidence that the different articles were arranged in a fairly orderly pile. In any event the police are endeavouring to find trie, whereabouts of Mr.- Worley.
