WIFE’S COMPLAINT. BEING STARVED TO DEATH. >Y CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION' —COPYRIGHT PARIS, July 17. : In consequence of an anonymous letter, the police visited the chateau of Charles Soler, literateur and. explorer, at Chaterey en France, Pontoise, mid found Madame Soler lying in the topmost room, the door of which was chained and. padlocked. She was shockingly emaciated and told the police a pitiful story. She alleged she had been confined two years by her husband, who demanded she should make a will in his favour. Eventually she yielded under threats, and she now charges he r husband with attempting to kill her by slow starvation. The woman, certainly appeared to be a living skeleton. She saw no one but her husband’s secretary, Mademoiselle de la. Plange, who unlocked the door to the- police only, it is alleged, under protest. Madame Soler was taken to hospital, and her husband and Mademoiselle de la Plange were charged with sequestration and violence. , .
