A TOKIO SENSATION
DOUBLE SUICIDE. TOKIO, July 9. A sensation has been caused in Tokio society by the discovery to-day of the bodies in Tokio of Arishma, the most popular novelist in Japan, and Mrs Akiko Hatano, leader of the Japanese woman’s movement, and wife o£ a prominent business man, hanging from silk scarfs in a villa belonging to Arishma. It was a case of double suicide, arising out of a hopeless love affair. A letter to the woman’s husband urged him to take the matter with equanimity, and to make no excuses to friends, because she and Arishma were only following their fate. The couple disappeared a month ago. but the friends had not informed the police and did not conduct a search. Tradesmen, forcing an entrance to the villa, found the bodies.
