MARRIED MAN’S INFATUATION (Received 10, 10.45 a.m.) London, Dec. 9. Regarding the double suicide of “Captain” Willis and Airs. Lilly Allen at Paris, Willis’ relatives state that Willis, though married, became infatuated with a fascinating foreigner at Ostend. The pair came to London, where, however, the position became intolerable and they fled to Paris.
