So far no trace has been nd of the body of Walter Stape- ley but with the finding of Mrs. Beckwith the search has been re newed with increased vigor. The provincial police have been interested in the hunt for the miss- ing people and their activities in this connection have been under the di- rection of Inspector Edward Stringer. The city police and the fire de partment have of course taken a leading part in the search and al- ways held hope for the recovery of Mrs. Beckwith and Stapeley. Wm.
