Frederick Wootton, inspector of investigator' for Canadian National Railways, died yesterday at the Herbert Reddy Memorial Hospital after a long illness. He was 63. Mr. Wootton, a respected member of the CNR police force, was born in London, England, in 1896 and came to Canada in 1924. At the age of 18, he joined the Royal Field Artillery as a lieutenant and later served the Royal Irish Constabulary and the British Gendarmerie until early in 1924. He joined the CNR as a constable on the police force shortly after coming to this country and served as such until he again went into military service in 1942, joining the Veterans Guard of Canada. He served on the directorate of this unit at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa from 1944 to 1946. Soon after his return to the railway, Mr. Wootton became an assistant special agent and later was made a full special agent.
