The telegram is as follows: Lime street railway station, Liverpool, March 31, 11 10 a. m. A Oakey Hall haB taken a ticket to London. He missed the seven o'clock train and will probably go by the train at noon. j MALI. INTERVIEWED. A representative of the Aasociated press acquainted with A. Oakey Hall Loarded the Victoria at 2 this morning. A passenger answering to Hall's description was aboard. This passenger was found, a little later, in the cabin examining the loj. Hall was immediately recognized ae a passenger pas-senger who was known on board as Mr. SutclifTe. He has about a fortnight's fort-night's grswth of moustache and diiic w bisk ere and was dreesed in old clothes, dark blue shirt, red scarf, small common cap, and epactaclaa instead of customary eye glasses. The reporter adds: I asked to see him privately, and he led the way to hia stateroom. I said, "A. Oakey Hall disappeared from New York a fortnight fort-night ago, and wag believed to be on the Bteamer Victoria." Hall replied: "Well, what of that?" I said he was the man. He replied that X was mis taken. I told him I knew he was Hall, that his family were terribly anxious, and that his friends iu New Vork were much excited about him. He asked why they should he excited and then made a remark about the auu men maao a remart about ttie weather in an unconcerned way, and went out to breakfast. When we left the ship as I helped him down the ladder he asked me if I had found my friend yet. He now wore an old Ulster overcoat. Ou landing he went to the ollice of Warren & Company, agenta of the Victoria, thence to the telegraph office, and finally to the Northwestern railroad station, where he took a second-class ticket and left by the noon train for Loudon. LITTLE ROOM FOR DOUBT. New York, 31. There is hardly room for doubt that A. Oakey Hali of New York ia the passengur Sut-elifi'e Sut-elifi'e discovered to day ou the ateam-ship ateam-ship Victoria, arrived at Liverpool. H) engaged passage on Monday, the 12th iuat., in Boston. During the day ho called at the ollice and asked whether he could take passage on the I icioria, and how soon ahe would tail, Mr. O'Hura, the clerk, told him she would probably tail on the 17th. Hall expressed a deaire to engage a passage, pas-sage, and the transaction was completed com-pleted by paying the plica, $80, giving his name as V. E. Sutchfle from Quebec. The clerk thought it queer that the gentleman Bhould choose a freight ship when he could easily have taken a passenger Bteamer, and sub aequeiuly when the newspapers gave publicity to Hall'3 llight lor Europe on the 17th, the date of the Victoria's departure, he was naturally reminded ol the solitary passenger. Seeing a picture of the ex-mayor he declartd that V. E. Sutchfle mint be Hall. The murder and auicide and financial embarrassment stories coined in turn to account for hit. disappearance, are now dispelled. It is said by one who knew Hall well that his outstanding liabilities will not aggregate S-o0. He was not before his departure disposed In tuitide, and he was too well-mannered a gentleman to invite murder. |
