NOT SUICIDE
DEATH OF SIR GEORGE LEWIS SLIPPED BENEATH TRAIN By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. MONTREUX, Wed. The examining magistrate’s report discounts the hypothesis that Sir George Lewis committed suicide, and suggested that he was running to catch a train (for which the ticket was in his pocket) when he slipped and fell on the rails.—A. and N.Z.-Sun. A cablegram from Geneva on August 8 said: The well-known solicitor Sir George Lewis was to-day knocked down by a railway train and instantly killed. Sir George was recuperating from neurasthenia. After watering a tennis match he climbed the railings of his hotel and walked on to the line at the moment when the Simplon express was passing at a speed of 60 miles an hour. Sir George was one of the most prominent society solicitors in London and had acted in many of the most celebrated cases.
