Stranger Proffers 'Information' on Missing Gardiner

Quite effusive in telling the father of Sylvester Gardiner '46 last Saturday afternoon that be had seen his son, now missing for almost a month, attending an athletic event in the St. Nicholas Arena in New York City, a mysterious informant fled from the family's Beacon Street home upon the suggestion that he repeat his story to the Cambridge police.

"A mean looking fellow, and obviously a fraud," was the impression of William T. Gardiner '14 last night. Detective Edward Glennon of the municipal force, detailed to the case, felt sure that the furtive caller must be wanted on some charge.

Additional "information" supplied by the stranger was that Gardiner was staying at the Hotel Dixle. A quick call by his father showed that no Sylvester Gardiner was registered.
