THE OSHAWA DAILY. TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 SCOTLAND YARD "SLEUTH RETIRES Frederick Wensley, Terror of Criminal Class, Turns to Gardening London, June 26, -- Credited with the solution of more murder mysteries than any living man, Frederick Wensley, at the age of 54, today announced he would give over his duties as Chief of the Criminal Intelligence Division of Scotland Yard, to devote his time to his garden. The control of the division was |' xpected to revert to the five areas Superintendents, known as 'The Big Five," since the post of Chief Constable, now held by Wensley, was created more as a complime=t to his remarkable record of crime fetection. than as a permanent police office. Chief Constable Wensley plans '0 quit Scotland Yard at the eua ot July. He declined a special five- year extension in office beyond the 1ge limit, offered as a signal mark of confidence on the part of the highest police authorities in Great Britain. His career began in the Lime- house district. He came to know every nook of Chinatown and the Fast End. and the location of an- archists' haunts and dens of ini- juity in the slummy streets of Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Hackney and Wapping, Thirty years of his life were spent in ferreting about this queer underworld. With his hawklike featurés, deep-set piercing eyes and bushy syebrows Wensley resembles Lord Reading and really looks the part that novelists and playwrights have assigned the detective.
