lie went TO Sir Charles Dykes solic-
itors and induced them to send out the
following authoritative communication
TO the press:
Much unnecessary pain Is being
caused to Sir Charles Dyke and TO the
relatives OF his late wife by the COM
ments which have appeared In many
newspapers regarding Lady Dykes
death. Her ladyship left Der home on
Nov. @ to pay a visit TO her sister at
Richmond and since that date has not
been seen or heard of. There was no
possible reason for her disappearance.
After a long and agonizing search her
husband and relatives have come to
the conclusion that she met with some
accident on the date named, with the
result that her identity was not estab-
iished, and she was probably buried
from some hospital or other institution
long before her friends seriously enter
tanned the thought that she was dead.
Every such case OF accidental death
followed by the interment of unknown
persons by the authorities occurring on
or about Nov. q has since been r1gidly
investigated. but no definite trace has
been found Of the missing lady. Sir
Charles Dyke determined TO take the
public step of announcing his wifes
death in the hope dlat any hitherto I'M
discovered clew might thereby come TO
light. But there are no grounds TO
suppos that any other explanation of
the occurrence than that given VIII be
forthcoming. The investigation has
been In the hands OF Scotland Yard

served by further discussion in the
press of what is now. and threatens 10
