'Fearless' educator mourned
Beloved principal drowned diving in Stoney Lake
Wanted students to 'take on life with dignity'
By Hilda HOY,
Staff▼
Reporter▼
Students loved Althea
RHOOMS.
The long-time teacher and principal had an infectious laugh and
was always ready with a hug at the end of each school day.
She was also the whip-smart businesswoman who made sure students'
education wasn't compromised by funding cuts, and fought tirelessly
to improve her schools.
Always up for a good challenge, Rhooms was a woman described
by best friend Sharon
ALLEYNE as "strong, fearless."
"She could be strict in some ways, but there was always love
for the students and lots of hugs," said Mike
TIMOTHEOU, father
of one of her students.
RHOOMS, who loved the outdoors, rowed Saturday in the Toronto
International Dragon Boat Race Festival, competing on the Toronto
District School Board team.
The next day, she participated in a practice dive at Stoney Lake
near Peterborough with her scuba diving club. She had been diving
almost weekly for a year, Friends and family said.
But on Sunday, she began having breathing problems under water
and never made it up. She was 43.
The coroner's office is still probing what caused her death.
RHOOMS worked as a teacher before serving as vice-principal at
McMurrich Junior Public School for two years, and then principal
at Humewood Community School for three years.
She transferred to Maple Leaf Public School this past December,
following her passion to the Jane St. and Lawrence Ave. neighbourhood
where 65 per cent of her students have African or Caribbean backgrounds.
"She wanted them to grow up and take on life with dignity," said
ALLEYNE.
RHOOMS volunteered for Women for P.A.C.E. (Project for Advancement
of Childhood Education), a group promoting early childhood education
in both Canada and her native Jamaica.
"She wanted to be a leader in the African Canadian community,"
said Trustee Josh
MATLOW. "(At
Maple
Leaf) she found a place
in the world to be a leader and provide mentorship to young students."
Principal Rita
GARRY, who took
RHOOMS's place at Humewood, said
she took the assignment at the new school because "there were
a lot of students from the black community there. She wanted
to be a role model for the female students."
Flags were flying at half-mast and grief counsellors had been
brought in at her former schools.
At a graduation ceremony at Maple Leaf yesterday, students spent
what should have been a day of celebration, memorializing a lost
friend.
RHOOMS leaves her parents, younger brothers Wayne and Jason,
and her 18-year-old son, Gyasi. Funeral arrangements are still
being made.

Father to three, friend to all
Bill McGILL spent career at the Star
'He was just a delight': co-worker
By Hilda HOY,
Staff▲▼
Reporter▲▼
Bill McGILL loved people. A family man and a community man, he
took great delight in forming relationships with other people,
no matter what the context.
His son, Jamie
McGILL, fondly recalls a father who loved people
so much, he avoided using bank machines so he could go inside
and chat with the teller.
"He loved to chat people up, he was very, very well loved by
so many people. He had a wonderful ability to make people feel
like they were truly special."
Said daughter Patti
SMITH: "He was a capital 'G' good guy. He'd
do anything for anybody. He really loved doing things for other
people. That's a dying breed."
In a cruel irony, the heart that gave so freely to others would
trouble him for much of his later life. On Thursday, it quietly
gave out. He was 83.
McGILL loved his work, and spent his entire 41-year career working
in various departments at the Toronto Star.
His affiliation with the newspaper began with a boyhood paper
route, followed by a part-time office boy job during high school,
Jamie said. Upon graduation, he joined the Air Force and fought
in World War 2.
After the war, he rejoined the Star, working in payroll before
moving into display advertising.
He cherished the close-knit office and his relationships with
co-workers and clients, Jamie said. "He was very proud (that)
the work he did was about relationships with other people."
His father was also proud to say he worked at the Star because
the paper's ethics were in line with his strong social conscience,
he added.
Bill CLARK, a long-time co-worker in advertising, recalls a hardworking,
congenial friend who would good-humouredly shoot a steely glare
before "just giving you this huge smile. He was just a delight
to work with."
"Everyone that came in touch with him liked him very much," said
Jim GILMOUR, another Star veteran, who worked with
McGILL for
more than 30 years. "He was a wonderful friend."
McGILL was dedicated to his community -- involving himself in
his church, volunteering for Meals on Wheels and as a Boy Scout
leader -- but was especially devoted to his family.
He adored his wife of 59 years, Margaret, and children David,
Jamie and Patti, and doted on his nine grandchildren and one
great-grand_son.
Other than his war service,
McGILL stayed close to home, until
he surprised his wife with two tickets to Bermuda on their 25th
wedding anniversary. That trip sparked a passion for travel.
In addition to yearly trips to England, the couple visited every
country in the Caribbean and fell in love with Barbados, visiting
more than 30 times.
"Travelling was another opportunity to meet people," said Jamie,
adding his father would strike up conversations in airport lounges,
hotels or taxicabs. "He established quite a large network of
Friends that way."
GILMOUR spoke yesterday for many: "Those of us who are left will
miss him very much."
The funeral is today at 11 a.m., Humbervale United Church, 1447
Royal York Rd., Etobicoke.

Watch, don't run, riders told
Toronto Transit Commission, police launch safety drive for motorists,
pedestrians
Woman, 27, struck and killed by car while running for a bus
By Sikander Z.
HASHMI and Hilda
HOY,
Staff
Reporters
Take the time to check.
Tragically, that message -- part of a safety drive by Toronto
police and the Toronto Transit Commission this week -- came too
late for a young woman struck and killed in Scarborough just
hours before the launch of the campaign.
Bonnie HO, 26, was rushing to catch her bus just before 7 a.m.
yesterday. She reportedly ran against a red light from the southeast
corner of Steeles and Kelvin Grove Aves., near her home, and
was hit by a taxi.
Suffering massive head injuries,
HO was rushed to Sunnybrook
hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
In a one-week campaign aimed at preventing such accidents, officers
are paying particular attention to infractions by motorists,
cyclists and pedestrians that impede transit, especially around
bus and streetcar stops, high-occupancy vehicle lanes and Wheel
Trans vehicles.
Toronto police Sgt. Tony
LAWSON advises pedestrians to stay alert
and be cautious when stepping on to roads.
"Most fatalities involving pedestrians occur on the roadway,
not on sidewalks," he points out. "It's usually the pedestrian
rushing to something."
Most of the time, streetcar commuters have to step on to the
roadway when hopping on or off the Toronto Transit Commission.
One person a month is struck while leaving a streetcar, according
to Const. Barb
RYAN of the traffic safety program. But it's a
wonder the rate is that low, considering how many motorists don't
bother to stop behind open streetcar doors as the law requires.
"Toronto Transit Commission operators, themselves, report up
to 80 incidents a day where motor vehicles pass the open doors
of a streetcar, I guess in an attempt to race by,"
RYAN says.
"Those could all end up in injuries or a calamity of some description."
That's the reason the campaign is emphasizing streetcar safety,
she says, "because of the fact that they're not curbside."
At least one streetcar rider thinks that should be changed.
"It'd be nice to have (the streetcars) on the other side of the
street," says Vanessa
LEE, 26.
witnessing one rider being hit by a car was enough to persuade
Umar TURNER to make a habit to check not once, but twice, when
getting off a streetcar.
"I was right behind this lady," recalls the 26-year-old, "and
she stepped off. I guess she didn't really look and a car came
by and hit her.
"Because of that, every time I get off the streetcar, I always
make sure to double-check."
TURNER says he often sees the streetcar stop and cars speed by.
Lee ZASLOFSKY, 60, has also witnessed cars whizzing by open streetcar
doors but hasn't seen anyone get hit. He welcomes the awareness
campaign, saying drivers need a reminder to be careful.
"I'm glad the police are doing this," he said while waiting for
a streetcar at the corner of Yonge and Queen Sts.
"The people getting off are completely innocent. They may be
a little careless, but the penalty could be death, whereas the
guy in the car has a lifetime of guilt."
RYAN urges commuters to just take a moment to make sure they're
not stepping directly into the path of an oncoming car. "Take
that extra second... to check before you're going to jump into
a live lane of traffic."
She has a piece of advice for drivers as well: "If you're a motorist...
give them an extra second, because lots of times, people change
their minds. They're on, then they want to get off, and the Toronto
Transit Commission vehicle may have to come to a sudden stop."
Lisa TAILOR/TAYLOR, who was waiting for the Queen streetcar yesterday,
recently saw a man nearly hit by a car as he was leaving the
streetcar.
"The drivers here in Toronto... are very erratic," says
TAILOR/TAYLOR,
33. "They don't look where they're going."
If the risk to innocent pedestrians isn't enough to convince
motorists to be more careful, the penalty for being careless
should. Passing an open streetcar door can set you back at least
$110, plus three demerit points.

3 reservists face murder charges
Homeless man beaten to death in Moss Park
By Hilda HOY,
Staff▲▼
Reporter▲▼
Three members of the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves are facing
second-degree murder and assault charges after a homeless man
was beaten to death in a downtown park and a woman coming to
his aid was attacked.
Paul Richard
CROUTCH, 59, died at St. Michael's Hospital on Wednesday
as his case manager stood nearby. An autopsy performed Friday
found the cause of death was trauma to the head, and the injuries
were consistent with being punched, kicked or stomped.
Police were called to an assault in Moss Park, near Sherbourne
and Shuter Sts., shortly before 5 a.m. on Wednesday. An unconscious
CROUTCH was rushed to hospital but died later that morning.
A woman who witnessed the beating and intervened was treated
for soft-tissue damage and bruising, police said.
CROUTCH had been a resident of the Salvation Army's Gateway Shelter,
around the corner from the park on Jarvis Street, since 2002. Gateway
will host a funeral next week.
He has family on the West Coast who have been notified.
"He was very mild-mannered and soft-spoken," said Gateway director
Dion OXFORD. "He was harmless."
Last time he saw
CROUTCH, he was watching the Gateway softball
team play in the park.
"He kept to himself most of the time," remembered Gateway chaplain
Ron FARR.
Brian DEGANIS, 21, Jeffery
HALL, 21, and Mountaz
IBRAHIM, 23,
all of Toronto, were arrested and charged Friday after a joint
investigation by Toronto police and the army's National Investigation
Services.
The three men are part-time members of the Queen's Own Rifles
of Canada, a reserve infantry unit that trains at the Moss Park
Armoury adjacent to the park where
CROUTCH was found.
Each has received at least two years of combat training, although
the exact length of their service could not be confirmed. They
had attended a "social function" at the armoury that evening
but were not in uniform, investigation services spokesman Capt.
Mark GILES said.
"Uniform or no uniform, these are very serious charges and we
take it very seriously," said
GILES.
Because the incident took place in the park and not on armoury
property, the investigation falls under city police jurisdiction.
The National Investigation Services provided support and will
continue to do so as needed,
GILES said.

Questions haunt slain man's family
James MALTAR shot by Ontario Provincial Police in holding cell
during struggle
Siblings wonder why non-lethal weapons or pepper spray not used
By Hilda HOY,
Staff▲
Reporter▲
The siblings of a man who died after being shot in the head in
an Ontario Provincial Police holding cell on Sunday are reeling
from the loss of their "Jimmy," the big brother they could always
count on.
James MALTAR had just celebrated his 45th birthday last Tuesday,
five days before he was killed during a struggle with police.
"I haven't felt this empty since we lost our parents 11 years
ago," said Rob
MALTAR, 41.
He last saw his brother on his birthday, when the two met near
their Bowmanville-area homes. James
MALTAR, a painting contractor
who had a bipolar disorder, spoke with excitement about his plans
for the future, which included moving west and finding new work.
MALTAR was pulled over on Highway 403 near Erin Mills Parkway
in Mississauga around 10 p.m. Sunday and taken into custody when
he refused to identify himself, police said. An officer was attempting
to put him into a holding cell at the Port Credit detachment
when a struggle broke out. A second officer ran in to help and
shots rang out moments later.
MALTAR was pronounced dead at hospital
a short time later.
Rob and his sisters Anna and Margaret can't believe anyone could
harm their brother. Throughout a tough childhood -- there was
no food on the table half the time, said Anna -- James took responsibility
for his younger siblings while their parents worked.
He also faced his own personal struggles, including an ongoing
battle with bipolar disorder, and spent many years on and off
medication. The condition causes extreme shifts in mood and energy
level, from manic highs to depressive lows, and can lead to impulsive
or erratic behaviour.
Anna knew something was wrong when her 40th birthday went by
this past Tuesday without a phone call from her brother, but
the family wasn't notified by police of his death until Wednesday
afternoon, nearly three days after he was killed. Other questions
haunt the family. They want to know why non-lethal weapons, like
Tasers or pepper spray, weren't used, and why their brother was
shot in the head instead of an arm or leg.
He'd had minor encounters with police, they said, including a
traffic violation in Oshawa, but the 5-foot-9, 170 pound man
had no history of aggression. "Our brother was not violent by
any means. He was afraid of conflict," said sister Margaret tearfully.
"(Did police have) no other option?"
With his mental illness, Anna said, it's possible he was disoriented
enough when stopped by police that he was unable to identify
himself.
The▼
Ontario
Provincial Police said
MALTAR was stopped because
his car had no licence plates, but Rob said the car had plates
on it from Illinois, where his brother recently lived with his
American wife and her five children. The renewal sticker on the
plates had expired, he said.
The Special Investigations Unit is investigating.

Did man shoot himself in cell?
Special Investigations Unit looking at 'several scenarios' in
Ontario Provincial Police case
Man shot in head in custody a week ago
By John DUNCANSON, Staff Reporter, With files from Hilda
HOY,
Page A2
Civilian investigators are looking at several scenarios in the
custody death of James
MALTAR, including the possibility the
45-year-old man wrestled the gun away from an Ontario Provincial
Police officer and shot himself in the head.
Almost a week after
MALTAR died in the holding cell of the Ontario
Provincial Police's Port Credit detachment, the chain of events
leading to the tragedy last Sunday is still not clear.
What investigators are sure of is that
MALTAR died from a "close
contact" gunshot wound to the head. He was also shot several
other times, but investigators with the Special Investigations
Unit aren't releasing exact details about those wounds.
"We are looking at several scenarios," said Special Investigations
Unit spokeswoman Rose
BLISS.
MALTAR's family is sure, however,
that the "Jimmy" they knew and loved would not have been able
to turn the gun on himself. "My brother is petrified of guns.
He wouldn't even know how to take the safety off a gun," said
MALTAR's brother Rob, 41. "There is no way he could have shot
himself."
The Special Investigations Unit has not interviewed the two officers
designated as subjects of the probe. Two other officers, who
have been deemed witnesses: in the fatal shooting, have no choice
but to be interviewed by investigators.
MALTAR was pulled over by Ontario Provincial Police officers
Sunday about 10 p.m. on Highway 403 near Erin Mills Parkway in
Mississauga because he had no licence plates on his car. When
he refused to identify himself, he was taken into custody. Rob
MALTAR says the car did have plates, only the sticker had expired.
According to the Special Investigations Unit, when one of the
Ontario Provincial Police officers was attempting to put him
in a cell at the Port Credit detachment,
MALTAR started struggling.
Another officer ran to assist his colleague and that's when shots
were fired.
MALTAR's family is struggling to understand what happened to
their loved one, who they say suffered from bipolar disorder.
The▲ condition can cause extreme mood swings, although
MALTAR's
family said he wasn't a violent man and avoided confrontation.
They▲ say
MALTAR may have been disoriented when stopped by police.
He recently lived in Illinois with his wife and her five children.

Nancy OAKES,
Heiress: 1924-2005
The Toronto-born socialite's courtroom testimony helped save
her playboy husband from the gallows. He had been accused in
the sensational 1943 murder of her father, the Ontario mining
magnate Harry
OAKES
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, February
19, 2005 - Page S9
A young Nancy
OAKES faced a tragedy beyond comprehension. Her
millionaire father, Sir Harry
OAKES, was bludgeoned and set afire
at his beachfront mansion in the Bahamas; her playboy husband,
a Mauritian-born count, was charged with the murder.
Police described to her in sordid detail a killing about which
they had no doubt as to guilt. The widow, Eunice Lady
OAKES,
believed police had fingered the culprit. The opinion was shared
by her peers in Bahamian high society, who at last found an excuse
for their lingering dislike of the foreigner with a French title.
In the face of overwhelming animosity, with evidence weighing
against her husband, Nancy
OAKES chose to believe the word of
the man with whom she had eloped a scant 14 months earlier. The
love affair scandalized her parents, who harboured great antipathy
for a son-in-law they suspected of being a gigolo and a gold
digger. The daughter's marriage put at risk her inheritance of
one of the world's greatest fortunes, created from gold found
in Northern Ontario.
Blessed with the good fortune to be born the beautiful daughter
of a multimillionaire, with auburn hair that turned heads at
the yacht club, Nancy
OAKES accepted the role of faithful and
trusting wife with a sang-froid beyond her years. She agreed
to be the final witness for the defence at her husband's trial.
Her testimony could determine his fate -- freedom, or the gallows.
She was just 19.
The murder and subsequent trial bumped war news from the front
page of newspapers around the English-speaking world in 1943.
The teenaged bride would forever after be known for what happened
in those days, a legacy that she would carry to her death, on
January 16 in London, at the age of 80.
The case has inspired a television mini-series, as well as Hollywood
films and several true-crime books. Novelists also have delighted
in the characters: a wealthy gold miner, his beautiful (but spoiled)
daughter, her louche lover, and, irresistibly, the Duke of Windsor,
the abdicated Edward VIII appointed governor of the colony, who
was to have golfed with Mr.
OAKES on the day of his murder and
whose inexplicable interference with the investigation raises
questions that remain unanswered to this day.
Born in Toronto, Nancy
OAKES was the first of Harry
OAKES's five
children. Their father was a gruff and irascible man whose ample
generosity did not always extend to his offspring.
Mr. OAKES, who was born and raised in Maine, quit medical school
as a young man to join the Klondike gold rush in 1898. He laboured
in poverty for years before staking a successful claim near Swastika,
Ontario He later sold his share in the claim to finance what
would become the greatest gold discovery in the Western Hemisphere,
the Lake Shore Mine at Kirkland Lake.
Soon, he was the richest man in the land, owning a lakeside chateau
near the mine as well as a hilltop estate on 20 acres overlooking
the Niagara River. These would be Nancy
OAKES's first homes.
In 1934, he abandoned Canada for the British West Indies to avoid
taxes levied on his great fortune by the Conservatives. Five
years later, he was granted a baronetcy by the king for his philanthropy.
His eldest daughter was schooled at Heathfield in Ascot, England
the Fermata in Aiken, S. C.; and the French School for Girls
in New York. She spent holidays with her family on the Bahamian
archipelago. On one of those visits she danced with Marie-Alfred
Fouquereaux DE
MARIGNY, known as Count
MARIGNY of Mauritius to
the newspapers and
as Freddie
MARIGNY to his Friends. Majestic
at 6-foot-5, dark-skinned from many hours aboard his yacht, he
was possessed of many flamboyant skills.
On May 19, 1942, two days after Nancy
OAKES attained her majority,
she was married to her dashing suitor by a county-court judge
in a ceremony in the Bronx. News of the elopement shocked her
parents, who disapproved of the groom, who, at 32, was already
twice divorced. (Sir Harry seemed to forget he was 48 when he
married Eunice
McINTYRE, 26, following a whirlwind romance.)
Relations were frosty.
On the morning of July 8, 1943, Sir Harry was discovered on his
back in bed in his second-floor chambers at Westbourne, a seaside
estate surrounded by hibiscus and bougainvillea. He was found
by his best friend, Harold
CHRISTIE, a wealthy real-estate agent
risen from poverty who was the baron's only house guest that
night.
As court would be told, Sir Harry's face was blackened by soot,
his groin and left hand burned. He had four small puncture wounds
above his left ear. Blood from his ear had dried across the bridge
of his nose. The body was covered in small pillow feathers, which
waved grotesquely from the stirrings in the room.
As governor, the Duke of Windsor decided not to entrust the investigation
into the murder of the colony's wealthiest citizen to the local
constabulary, nor to Scotland Yard. Instead, he called in two
detectives from nearby Miami. If the duke wished a quick resolution,
he got it. Within hours, the detectives arrested Mr. DE
MARIGNY,
announcing they had found his fingerprints on a Chinese bed screen
at the murder scene.
The count's wife, who, like her mother and siblings was in the
United States at the time of the killing, returned home convinced
of her spouse's innocence. She visited him in jail twice a week.
"I do all I can to make my husband comfortable," she told a reporter.
"I send linens and special dishes to him -- chicken and fish
and things like that. I suppose Freddie is what you'd call
a gourmet."
Meanwhile, Sir Harry's will was filed for probate shortly before
the opening of what was billed as the trial of the century. Rumours
of disinheritance proved wrong. The will, representing Nassau
holdings only, disposed of £3,671,700. The widow was awarded
one-third, with the remainder to be divided among the five children.
The countess was to receive two-fifteenths of her father's fortune
on turning 30, with an annual living allowance until then.
A Bahamas Supreme Court jury heard the Miami detectives present
the Crown's only physical evidence against the count, a single
print from the pinky finger of his right hand, introduced as
Exhibit J.
The count wept silently in the dock before composing himself
as his wife began testifying on November 9, 1943. She was dressed
in a black suit with white polka dots, wearing a white hat and
white gloves, "an appealing figure," one writer noted, "composed
but pale."
The defence wished to use her testimony to rebut the Crown's
suggested motive for murder.
"Mrs. DE MARIGNY," asked defence counsel, "at any time during
your married life has the accused ever attempted to obtain money
from you?"
"No," Nancy replied.
"Has the accused ever made a statement of hatred toward your
father?"
"No."
The defence had demolished earlier the Crown's fingerprint evidence,
proving the print had come not from the bed screen but likely
from an opaque drinking glass, or the cellophane wrap from a
pack of cigarettes. Both had been handed to the count by the
Miami detectives, raising questions as to their competence, if
not criminality.
The jury deliberated for one hour, 55 minutes before reaching
a verdict of not guilty on a 9-3 vote. The verdict was cheered
in the courtroom, yet the jury had also called for the count's
expulsion from the colony.
With the baron's estate tied up in court, the young couple auctioned
household goods to finance their exile in Cuba, where they stayed
with Ernest Hemingway.
By 1945, they had separated, the count signing an agreement reneging
on claims on her inheritance. He came to Montreal and enlisted
in the Canadian Army. In 1949, the New York Supreme Court ruled
the count's second divorce had not met statutory requirements
at the time he married the heiress. Their marriage was annulled.
In April, 1946, the heiress flew to Copenhagen after receiving
news of the death of Joergen Edsberg, a Danish Royal Air Force
pilot she planned to marry as soon as each obtained a divorce.
She arrived the day after a military funeral attended by the
pilot's wife and son, leaving a bouquet of lilacs at a grave
left open at the request of the pilot's mother.
Nancy OAKES's life was filled with tragic loss, her father's
savage murder being only the best known. An aunt drowned in the
sinking of the liner S.S. Mohawk off the New Jersey coast in
1935; a brother, William Pitt
OAKES, died of a heart attack complicated
by a liver ailment at 27 in 1958; brother Sydney, who inherited
Sir Harry's title, was killed at 39 in 1966 when his Sunbeam
Alpine failed to negotiate a curve. A sister, Shirley, spent
the final years of her life in a coma following an accident.
After the war, Nancy
OAKES provided fodder for gossip columnists
by being squired by dashing Hollywood stars. "Heiress Nancy
OAKES
and Philip Reed are Movietown's Big Talk," Walter Winchell wrote
in an item typical of what was also to be found under the bylines
of Dorothy Kilgallen and Hedda Hopper.
In a candlelight church ceremony performed by the Lord Bishop
of Nassau before a society crowd on December 29, 1952, Nancy
OAKES wed Baron Ernst Lyssardt
VON
HOYNINGEN-
HUENE of Oberammergau,
Germany, a union that would end in divorce less than four years
later.
On March 1, 1962, she married Patrick Claude Henry Tritton, a
Cambridge-educated importer of typewriters and firefighting equipment.
Her third wedding was held before a handful of close Friends
at the British ambassador's residence in Mexico City. Mr. Tritton
was said to have been the model for the Anthony Powell character
Dicky Umfraville, a likeable rogue.
After that marriage failed, she resumed using her second husband's
name, not discouraging the practice of being called the baroness.
Erle Stanley Gardner, the creator of Perry Mason, called the
baffling case "the greatest murder mystery of all time." Sent
by Time magazine to cover the trial, he maintained Sir Harry
was not killed in bed, but was moved there after death, as the
burns on the bedding did not match those on the body. As well,
the dried blood across the bridge of the nose indicated the body
had been rolled over after death. The writer raised the spectre
of the baron being tortured.
The murder has been attributed to a love triangle, to a voodoo
ritual killing, and to mobsters Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano,
whose dreams of casinos in the colony might have been thwarted
by the powerful Sir Harry. Even the Duke of Windsor is not above
suspicion.
Count DE MARIGNY, who died in Houston in 1998, wrote a book accusing
Mr. OAKES's best friend, Mr. Christie, later Sir Harold, of ordering
the murder. The crime remains unsolved 61 years after Nancy
OAKES
successfully asserted her husband's innocence.
Nancy Oakes
VON
HOYNINGEN-
HUENE was born in Toronto on May 17,
1924. She died in London on January 16, aged 80, and was buried
in Nassau, the Bahamas, on January 28. She leaves a son, Baron
Alexander VON
HOYNINGEN-
HUENE, known as Sasha; a daughter, Patricia
Oakes LEIGH-
WOOD; and a younger brother, Harry
OAKES.
