HOUSING RULES
CHANGED HERE
Purchase Percentage Prior
To Eviction Is
Lowered

An important change in the
sales section of the housing regu'
lation involving the eviction of ten.
ants was announced Thursday by
the New Hanover Area Kent Con.
troll office.
The section involved prescribes
the procedure and requirements
for the eviction of Tenant by g
purchaser who has acquired his
rights to the housing accommoda
ton after October 20, 1912. This
section heretofore, provided thai
before a certificate could be issu
ed following a petition in the Area
Rent office for authority to insti
tute eviction suit under local law
to enable the purchaser to occupy
the house himself, it was condi
ton precedent generally that the
purchaser pay at least thirty-thre'
and one-third per cent of the pur
chase price in cash from unbor
rowed funds. Upon paying tn
thirty-three and one-third per cen
the purchaser could then file
petition, stating that he desired t
occupy the house himself, and as
for authority to evict the tenan
under local law.
This section has been amended

due to the fact that he'd been married before"
In that last sentence the housekeeper may
well have hit upon the solution of the prob
lem. II is now known that amongst six con-
fidential letters which the doctor left on his
desk, ito be opened after death" was one
giving instructions that he was to be buried in
the same grave with his previous wife.
When Joan Reay left the doctor for the
third time in 1941 she was invited by Mrs
Haden to stay with her husband and herself
until things adjusted themselves bit. There
appeared to be no particular friendship be-
tween John Haden and Joan Reay the friend
ship was solely between the two women.
The doctor sent Joan several kilograms
stating that he would stop at nothing to get
her back He seemed to mean it, too, for one
night he stole into the garage and slashed the
tires of her car. 80 that she could not go out
enjoying herself" When this failed, he used
a hammer to smash up the engine of the
Hadens' auto
That, too, failed TO drive Joan back home,
and so, with deep cunning and careful plan
ming, the doctor next tried to set fire to the
house in which the three people were living
Here, too, his little trick failed.
Then he threatened to institute divorce
proceedings and to bring an action for DAM
ages for alleged enticement against Mr. Haden.
The doctors solicitor did his best to dissuade
him from taking such an action, declaring that
there vas not the slightest evidence for 1t.
But John Reay was adamant and engaged
eight private detectives to watch both his wife
and John Haden.
These Investigations developed complica-
tons when the doctor decided to take hand
in the drama himself. On the occasion when
he smashed up the Hadens auto, he was him
self chased by one of his own agents, who
thought he had really discovered one of Joan
Reay's imaginary visitors.
Then again, on the night when he set fire
to the Hadens bungalow the doctor was pur-
sued for two miles by three of the private de-
tectives and only just managed to get away
in the darkness.
Towards the end of August the three Of
them, together with five year-od Dickie
Haden arrived at Groes Hotel for their fort
nights holiday. Two days later Mrs. ReaY
and Mrs. Haden were going for a walk when
Dr. Roay's car passed
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-02-28

beyond the same symptoms as those of bron-
chial pneumonia.
Then the laborer who discovered the body
was questioned and he remembered that in
the early morning light, ten hours after the
murders, John Reays lips had been coated
with a yellow powder. That powder disap-
peared during the next Mountaineering that
probably the doctor intended to hide the fact
that he had committed suicide
A British Home office pathological expert
said that on examining the organs taken from
Reay's body he obtained a complete picture
of what one would expect from the taking of
an excess of the sleeping drug. He was then
asked by one Of the lawyers If he was not
being slightly sensational, in view of the fact
that an experienced doctor like Reay would
almost certainly have used morphia, of which
there was large quantity in his bag, to Kill
himself
ION the contrary" retorted the expert, "a
determined effort Is usually needed to self
administer morphia, even by medical man.
AS matter Of fact according to my lnowl-
edge and experience, many medical men have
used this sleeping drug to end their lives.
1t provides an easy and pleasant death, and
is certainly no less certain than morphia-"
Questioned about the state of DR.. Reay's
mind, the expert said that although they
were strange, the letters which had been left
by DR.. Reay were not written by man or
unbalanced mentality"
There seemed little doubt, therefore, as
TO what had happened in this tragedy of two
Johns and one Joan. There was certainly
no evidence whatever that the doctors sus-
picions were in the slightest way justified.
although there undoubtedly friction be-
tween him and his wife over incidents con-
nected with the doctors first wife.
1t was rumored that Reay suffered from
brainstorms, and to substantiate that it was
pointed out at the inquest that whereas the
doctor on the afternoon had started out TO
play tennis, he suddenly changed his mind
and exchanged his racket for his gun.
But probably strangest of all, he had an
obsession against darts. Several times during
his professional career he had made it very
clear that he considered darts a ridiculous
game redolent only of public houses and not
the right sort of recreation for his wife.
Whatever may have given him that obses-
sion, double top at Groeswnyd will henceforth
be connected with double murder.
