DEATH OF STAVISKY
WIDOW DISBELIEVES SUICIDE. PUBLIC INTEREST ROUSED. By -Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Paris, Jan. 14. Madame Stavisky, widow of the Russian financier Stavisky, whose death brought the sensational scandal to a climax, declares that she found two empty cartridge cases in the villa at Chamonix, despite the fact that her husband’s body suffered a single wound. She discovered several holes in the wall, which the police say are nail holes, and she possesses a list of prominent people who, though aware of his record, protected Stavisky. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail says that Madame Stavisky now believes her husband died and did not commit suicide. She may demand an inquiry She declares the police delayed Stavisky’s removal to hospital for two hours. She failed to recognise the revolver alongside the bed as her husband’s, with which she was familiar. Stavisky, in a letter to his son, gave his age as 45, whereas he was actually 47. People are asking how such an error could occur if he really wrote the letter.
