Countess Dejanze, who shot de Trafford, and then attempted to Commit suicide, examined by the magistrate, said she met de Trafford on a lion hunt in Kenya. Close friendship followed. He promised to marry her, and urged her to divorce her husband, but on arrival at Paris from London, de Trafford said that the marriage was impossible, because his family was opposed to it. She was broken hearted, and went lo the Gard du Nord to see him return to London, intending to commit suicide, as he departed, but suddenly, at the last moment, she had an impulse to take him with her in death. Her real intention was to kill herself.
