RICH BARONESS STRANGLED. VIENNA, July 30. The richest woman in Serbia, the widowed Baroness Irma Molnar, aged 70, has been found strangled with a silk cord in a maize field near Boka. A scrap of paper hanging from the cord 'bore the Serbian words -meaning “My revenge.” The baroness’s wedding 50 years ago to a relative of the Hungarian dramatist Molnar is still spoken of for its magnificence. Five hundred guests were for weeks feasting at “the marriage feast at Boka.” „ Since" her husband died in 1900 the baroness has worn cropped hair and peasant’s garb and tramped 20 miles daily. She owned 15,000 acres, 20. houses in Belgrade, and accumulated untouched deposits in the banks of £ioo,ooo. During the war she conducted a field hospital, constantly risking her life in Lie front line. The body was robbed of valuables, and reapers heard a shrill voice crying: “Don’t touch me, Milica.” The police believe that a woman, probably wearing man’s clothes, is the murderer.
