Continue Te Probe Disappearance 0f Glace Bay iiouple

HALIFAX, Jan. 18—(CP)— A1- most a month old, the mystery of a Glace Bay, N. S. couple last seen Dec. 17 still poses a baffling prob- lem for R. C. M. P. here.

First word that Mr. and Mrs.

William Robert Brown, 70 and 65

years old, were missing came when their car was found parked and ilrécked, at nearby Stewlacke Dec. Police have continued to investi- gate despite the belief of a son. William C. Brown of Toronto, that his parents are dead.

The elderly book salesman and his wife were en route to Glace Bay from Toronto Just before they

disappeared. They were last seen

by a service station attendant Dec. 17 near Stewlacke.

Police investigation revealed that two days before the car was found Mr. Brown had mulled his son a gold watch from Halifax.

The son told Toronto police that several years ago his father had promised to send him a watch "when my time comes to go."

“I heard from my father Dec. 15 from New Glasgow. N, 8., and ob. viously he was happy. I refuse to listen to anything about suicide He was in good health just before

he disappeared. I am completely mystified." Police in Halifax. meanwhile.

lPllort nothing new in their probe. Intensive check of relatives and friends failed to reveal any reason for the couple's disappearance. Search of Stewiacke and rounding arena yielded nothing. Dfilliking operations were carried out on the swift-moving Stewiack-e River without results.
