    Julia Wallace murderUnsolved Crimes & Disappearances

    At about 7:15 p.m. a man telephones the Central Chess Club, which meets at the City Café in Liverpool, and leaves a message for William Herbert Wallace. The caller, giving the name R. M. Qualtrough, asks Wallace to call at 25 Menlove Gardens East the next evening at 7:30 to discuss an insurance matter. Club captain Samuel Beattie takes the message; Wallace, who has not yet arrived, is given it when he gets there. The call is later traced to a public phone box a few hundred yards from Wallace's own home.
