FRENCH COUNT’S DEATH
REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCES
WIFE ACCUSED OF MURDER,
Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, September 14. (Received Sept. 14, at 5.5 p.m.) The death of Comte Roger Le Roux de Kerminon, a fortnight ago at Lannion, in Brittany, which seemed a simple affair, has developed into an extraordinary mystery. The Comte, who was found with four revolver wounds, died, and was buried in the family vault. The wounds were announced to bo the result of an accident. The Comteese, who has since been accused, now declares that the Comte’s typiste, Mdlle. Tedelec, conspired to secure the Comte’s death with two cousins of the victim in order to obtain an inheritance. Under examination yesterday the Comtesse maintained her innocence, although the judge pointed out that while the Comte might have inflicted one wound himself he could not have been responsible for four. —A. .and N.Z. Cable.
