Australian Press Assn.—United Service LONDON, Aug list 24. A railway ticket-collector, Ivor Brown, declares he saw the missing Rector, Rev. Hutchinson, a week ago at Paignton, Devonshire. WHERE IS THE BUTLER ? LONDON, August 24. One curious feature of. the Essex Rector’s disappearance is contained in the Essex Chief Constable’s definite statement, namely the Stroud police announcement as to being unaware of the butler, Straw’s presence there, ihe Inspector stated: “You can take it Straw is not here now. I cannot imagine where the Essex constabulary derived the information.” Meantime, the Essex Chief Constable’s theory that Rev. Hutchinson will turn up in Ireland is supported by a report from,Dublin that a man whom a woman recognises from a photographas the vicar, .Mr't.Hutcliinson, called and asked l'or -h-cjip of-;tea.
