French Girl’s Letters Not
Answered
SHOOTING OF A COUNT By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.. Paris, March 31. The name of a former Prime Minister, M. Paul Boncour, was introduced at the resumed magisterial inquiry concerning the shooting of the Count de Chambrun at the Gave du Nord, Paris, recently. The arrested woman, Madame de la Ferriere, said she was formerly very friendly with M. Paul Boncour, who later tried to do everything in his power to injure her professionally and privately. She alleged that the Count de Chambrun sought to damage her in Rome la order to please M. Paul Boncour, who was Prime Minister when the Count de Chambrun became Ambassador to Italy.
Another official at the French Legation in Rome sought to ruin her romance with the Italian Prime Minister, Signor Mussolini, in order to please M. Paul Boncour. She attempted to commit suicide in Rome in December, and while she was recovering Signor Mussolini's secretary visited her daily.
Thereafter she frequently wrote to Signor Mussolini, but lie did not answer. Later she was asked to leave Rome “for the sake of peace.” Madame de la Ferriere described how she followed the Count de Chambrun to the Gare du Nord and shot. him. The inquiry was adjourned.
