When the Oficial Receiver suggested that from, 1921 to 1926 she had An income from £365,000, Miss Schintz replied: "It had depreciated to £210.000," Official Receiver: The securities Five years ago her public ex- were reinvested in various ways, amination

WILS

This man, now dead, was origin- ally her chauffeur-secretary, and it was alleged that he had undue in- Auence over her.

Miss Schintz stated that in 1900 her parents gave her an estate, Thickthorn, Warwickshire, which her father spent £60,000 on improvements.

on

She also possessed a ranch in Helvetia, Argentina, which was sold in 1921 for about £240,000, of The woman who explained her which she received about £200,000 Affairs is,

Miss Susan Dora Cecilia Schinta, daughter of the late Hans Gaspard Schints, the Swiss "nitrate king."

LARGE SUMŚ FOR CHARITIES

From 1914 to 1919, she ‘added,

she conducted and was Comman- dant of the Arrow Hill Military Hospital, which she furnished and equipped for £30,000.

Shed her mother also gave to the British and French Red Cross and to other charities

£1,000,000 from her father. and formerly lived in s magnificent mansion at Ottershaw Park, Bur-large su

rey.

The man in whose ventures abe showed interest, and who, she told the Court, was "hounded to his grave," was.

Mr. Frederick Lionel Rapson, who died in 1933, aged 43.

She declared, after leaving the Court, "I hope I have now cleared Mr. Rapson's name and lifted the shadow that has hung over my self and his wife and son for years. "Allegations have been made that Mr. Rapsou had an undue ĺ Influence over me, and that he dictated all I should do.

"They are all untrue. He was most modest and unassuming, and he died before he had the chance to clear himself.

"He did not, leave a penny when he died. That is proof, if any were needed, of his honesty.

NO BUSINESS APTITUDE "Mr. Rapson was a genius and a great inventor, but, like me, he had no business mind."

Questioned by the Official Re- ceiver, Mr. C. Roy Waterer, during ! the examination, about the pur- -chase by her in 1919 of Ottershaw Park, with 900 acres, for £125,000, Miss Schintz admitted she was "quite well off" at the time, but said she was not a millionairess by a long way.

The property was mortgaged in 1923."

The Official Receiver mentioned that in a statement of affairs aworn by Miss Schintz In August last year unsecured liabilities were given

£27,340 odd, contingent abilities at £67.139, of which only £1,268 was expected to rank.

and

Miss Behintz agreed that she ex- pected her assets to realise £25,- 995.

Miss Schinta stated thất in 1923 an attempt was made to float a public company, but it falled.

Arrangements were then made for the Rapson cars to be manu- factured and sold by the North British Rubber Company.

For about three months, de- clared Miss Schintz, she received about $200 per week in royall- ttes from the North British Rub- ber · Company, but afterwards they became irregular.

She attributed her insolvency largely to the alleged non-ful- fillment of an agreement by that company.

"It is a mystery to me where the money went, Mr. Rapson did not have it; that I can guarantee," she continued

"About £250,000 of my money went into the Rapson CQ* panies."

Mr. Waterer: On Feb. 1, 1938, you signed a guarantee for the payment of debts, to any amount, of Raps.n?—When I signed that I was not very well.

Mr. F. F. Salaman, trustee in bankruptcy of the estate, remark- ed that he had made a thorough Investigation, and had taken coun- sel's opinion.

Miss Schinta: That was after Mr. Rapson had been hounded to his grave.

The examination was adjourned for closing..
