OBITUARY
SIR DRUMMOND FRASER r (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, August 1. Sir Drummond Fraser, the famous banker, was found dead In bed with his throat cut at his house at Blakeney, on the Norfolk coast. At an inquest a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was recorded. Sir Drummond lost his two sons in the war and his wife died recently. The depression caused by his domestic troubles was aggravated by physical infirmity, he having lost the use of his legs. The knowledge that he would never again occupy the great position he had once held weighed heavily on his mind. Sir Drummond organised the International Credits under the League of Nations in 1921-1922.
