His body was found in a New Orleans motel room. He had been stabbed 16 times. Mr. Dale was a son of the late Rev. E. G. Dale, who was pastor of New Hamburg Baptist Church about 30 years ago.

The following day he left for a southern vacation in company with a friend, and had planned to return January. In company with his friend, a teacher from Sudbury, he had motored to New Orleans. The body of the victim was found when the friend telephoned to arrange a meeting after they separated Thursday morning.
