‘ DISAPPEARANCE
BAFFLES POLICE
TORONTO, July 27 (by Associated
Press).—The double disappearance of
Ambrose J. Small, millionaire theatri
cal man of this city, and his secretary,
4, John Doughty, both well known citi
zens of Toronto, has been one of the
most mystifying cases with which the
Canadian police have had to deal.
Small has been missing since Decem
ber 2 and Doughty since December 28,
last.
The whole continent of America has
been a field for search by detectives
for trace of the missing men, and cir
culars describing Mr. Small and offer
ing rewards for the recovery of him,
^Jead or alive, have been sent to al
most every country in the civilized
world.
Mr. Small had just put through a
deal for the sale of his interests in a
string of theaters in Canada at $1,750,
000 to a syndicate known as Trans
Canada Theaters, Ltd., and a few
'hours before his disappearance, on
December 2, he had received a check
$1,000,000 in connection with the
deal. This check he deposited in his
bank. On that day he had had lunch
with his wife downtown, and had
promised her to be home to dinner in;
the evening. He had attended to some
business late that afternoon and about
7 o’clock started for home, so far as is
* known. The last person known to
have seen him was his favorite news
boy, from whom Mr. Small bought the
evening papers.
The fact that Mr. Small was missing
was not made public until three or
four weeks had elapsed. In the first
week in January the first circulars ask
ing for information as to Mr. Small’s
whereabouts were sent out by the
local police authorities, and a reward
of $500 was offered. A short time
afterward the reward was increased to
$5,000. Then on the first of‘ June a
♦reward of $50,000 was offered by Mrs.
Small for information regarding Mr.
Small’s whereabouts, if alive, and
$15,000 for the recovery of his body, if
dead.
The mystery of Mr. Small’s absence
was accentunated by the disappear
ance of John Doughty, who had been
&is private secretary for many years.
Doughty has not been seen or heard
from, so far as the authorities are
aware, since December 28, 1919. In
June, 1920, the discovery was made
that $150,000 of Victory bonds were
missing from the safety deposit vault
where they had been placed by Mr.
Small, and it was stated that Doughty
had had access to the vault. There
upon circulars were issued offering
$5,000 reward for the arrest of John
Doughty on a charge of having ab
ducted Ambrose Small, and $5,000 for
Doughty’s arrest on a charge of hav
ing stolen the missing Victory bonds.
By a special act of the Ontario leg
islature, Mr. Small was declared an
“absentee,” and a trust corporation of
Ottawa was appointed trustee of Mr.
Small’s estate. *

It’s Leap Year, All Right, but Look First, Girls!
ROCHESTER, N. Y.—A young woman describing herself as a graduate nurse
and a man she called her fiance, were taken to police headquarters to un
ravel a series of strange entanglements involving the would-be bride. Police
man Pifer was attracted to a taxicab
in Clinton avenue south, where the
nurse was holding tight to a man’s
coat collar. She insisted so vehe
mently that he had agreed to marry
her and was now trying to evade her
that the officer took the pair to head
quarters.
At the office of an inspector the
girl; who says she is Miss Hazel Cour
tena'\r, admitted she had exercised the
prerogative of her sex in leap year by
proposing marriage to a traveling
salesman. In addition, she said, she had hopefully loaned her admirer $280
so he might purchase a suitable ring.
To add to the mystery, the man taken to headquarters proved that he
had never before seen Miss Courtenay, that he was utterly ignorant of any
matrimonial intentions on her part, and that he could not marry her if he
wanted to ever so badly, inasmuch as he had a wife and two children in Mount
Vernon and wras devotedly attached to them.
"This looks like a joke to me,” declared Everett Salmon, the traveler
from Mount Vernon, who had been pounced upon by the irate nurse.
The nurse looked askance at her companion and said:
“Why, dearie, you never told me you were married!”
After considerable investigation it was proved to Miss Courtenay that she
was absolutely mistaken in the identity of her husband-to-be. Then she was
profuse in her apologies to the stranger. _
