THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MR LEVY, J.P.

Thk Evening Press of Thursday night says :: — '* It has now been definitely ascertained that Mr Levy sailed for Sydney by the Hauroto on her last trip to that place on the -Bth July. Inquiries instituted by the police show that Levy was at the railway station on the 19th June with Miss Betsy Olseu, a Norwegian, with whom he was acquainted when residing at Norsewood, iv the Forty-Mile Bush. It wat, then supposed that the young woman was going to her friends. It turns out, however, that Levy assisted her to re-alter the addresses on her boxes for Sydney, and Miss Olsen is known to have sailed for that place by the Wakatipu on that day (Saturday, June 19). On the arrival this morning of rhe Hauroto from Sydney, Detective Chrystal boarded the vessel, and showed Levy's likeness to those on board, when several of the crew recognised it as that of one of the steerage passengers. Theie were some 35 in all who bad sailed by tha Hauroto for Sydney on the Bth July, the day he was missed. The purser states he was never questioned about Levy while in Sydney, and knew nothing about it until his return here."
