STILL A MYSTERY
FRENCH AND ENGLISH POLICE I BAFFLED BY MURDER I OF WOMAN. | STABBED ON GOLF COURSE. | Le Touquet, September 24. x.
Will the mystery of the brutal mur- % der of Mrs. Fl'orence Aline Wfison, 1 a vealthy Englishwoman whose hody | was found stabbed in 14 places near | the golf course here in May, 1928, be | solved at long last? r Le Touquet police are to lask th'e | aid of Scotland Yard in tracing the | source of an anonymous lettcr just = received hy the public prosecutor of ! Montreuil, which throws a startling 1 new light on the tragedy. : The writer of this letter, believed [ to he a resident iof Etaples, declares | that the crime wias committed hy a = man who committed suicide near here \ a few days ago; and the police are in- j clined to think that the mystery writ- j er knows much more about the crime j ' than is contained in the letter. i No. murder of recent years, unless : | it be that of the English girl, Nurse j | Daniels, who met her fate only a few j ! miles away, has more utterly baffled \ 1 the police of both France and England | 1 than has the Mrs. Wilson mystery. j ! Wife of Mr. Herbert Wilson, a j : wealthy Englishman, she had been | j staying at Le Touquet and had heen | I joined on the previous day by her | i hushand, who intended spending the | J week-end at their villa. On the previous evening she had j played a round of golf, and afterward | declined la friend's invitation to drive, I her home, saying that she preferred I to walk thiough the forest. ! That was the last seen of h'er alive. I In the early morning, following the husband's report as to her disappearI ance, police, led by hloodhounds, came | upon her body. Night iand day for weeks the police pursued every line of investigation; suspeets were held and had to be detained, and th'e inquiries even ex- ! tended to England. ! But all to no purpose. A handsome, j widely L.avelled woman of fifty-five, ! Mrs. Wilson was not known to have a sin'gle enemy.
