Stranger on the Brookline banks sparks search for missing man
A park patrolman recalls a man seen near Stony Brook bridge before a suspected suicide attempt. The description notes a medium build, 25 to 30 years old, wearing a dark mackintosh with cape, derby or soft hat, and no beard. Although a witness claims the man jumped into the river, officials doubt a death by own action and continue a cautious search along the Fens and Brookline directions.
