M. DOUMER’S DEATH
EXTRAORDINARY ADMISSIONS. BY GOUGOULOFF. PARIS, Thursday. Paul Gougouloff, the Russian who assassinated President Doumer last-week, had wanted to kill President Hindenburg (Germany), President Masaryk (Czeeho-Slovakia), and M. Lenin (Russia), according to his extraordinary admissions to the examining magistrate here. President Masaryk received and treated him so pleasantly, he said, that lie abandoned the idea of assassination. •Reds killed his father, he declared. Ho joined the White Army and had to flee to Prague, from where he could not return to Russia to kill M. Lenin. A Russian witness alleged that Gougouloff visited Russia several times aiid returned with largo sums of money. DOUMER’S INSURANCE. LONDON, Wednesday. Underwriters are intrigued by a claim of £37,000 (?) upon the life of M. Doumer. The policy was taken out 11 months ago, and had a month to run when the President was assassinated the premium paid being £7O. The policy belongs to a Dutchman, and the relatives of M. Doumer will in no way benefit. The policy is not marked “proof of interest,” and so was presumably a bona fide business precaution, but careful enquiries are being made, ag other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
