LIFE INSURANCE FRAUD
MERCHANT PAYS MAN TO
KILL HIM
(Received 9th April, 10 a.m.) BUCHAREST, Bth April. A remarkable new life insurance fraud followed the finding of a merchant, Rudolf Steinser, dying, with his head battered, on a lailway embankment. He reiused on his death bed to dis-close his assailant. Suspicion was aroused when it was found that Steinser, thought to be impecunious, had insured his life for £12,000 in favour ■of his wife. It was then discovered that the dead man had hired a young upholsterer named Fisehel to murder him in consideration of £.1000, but the address given, for the collection, of tho money proved bogus, and Fischel's only reward was Steinser's gold watch. Fis■chcl was tracked to 'Vienna, confessed to the plot, and was arrested.
