WOMAN WITH SECRET OF SHOOTING DRAMA
A nogress well known in Paris night life, who is said to have spent the evening with M. and Mme. Weller at cabarets before Mme. Weiter shot her husband on a re- cent Sunday morning, is being sought by the police. It is thought that she may hold the secret of the quartel which led to the fatal shot.
recen-
Mme. Weiler was remarkably self-possessed during the struction of the crime. She again declared that when she fired she thought her life was in danger.
Her servant, Mlle. Jeanne Lachiver, however, gave a different account of the drama. She said: "On Saturday morning M. and Mme. Weiler had a violent quar- rel during which Mme. Weiler accused her husband of Infido- lity. He denied it, but said that had he wished he might often have become friendly with more pleasant women than his wife.
