THREE MYSTERIES CONFRONT
POLICE

p.1

-------------------

Whereabouts of “Mickey,” Death of Hindu and
Disappearance of McLean.

-------------------

“Mickey the Dago” is still at large, and apparently his capture is as
difficult now as when he escaped from the cabin on Alexander Street, where
he had allegedly murdered Detective Levis. Many different rumours have been
received at the police headquarters as to his whereabouts, but each one that
has been investigated has resulted in nothing. The detectives are tired after
their long efforts to catch the man, and at the same time to attend to their
other duties.
Detectives investigating the mystery surrounding the death of Harnan
Singh the Hindu ex-priest, have been unable to come upon anything of a
definite nature which will assist them in determining whether the man was
murdered or committed suicide. The fact is well known that he had many
enemies by reason of his having assisted the authorities in their work at the
time of the Komagata Maru trouble and also in suppressing the seditious
teachings of Hindu revolutionists.
Another matter which has not been cleared up, nor upon which no
additional light can be obtained is the mystery surrounding the strange
disappearance of “The Sea Wolf,” Captain Alexander Mclean, who was last
heard of as he was going to a row of tugboats. Captain Charles Anderson and
Engineer Kirkman of the Harbour police have prosecuted a most thorough
search of the waterfront, and have again dragged the water without
discovering anything which might tend to throw any light upon his
movements. The discovery of his hat is the only tangible evidence that the
police have been able to discover.
