The tragedy occurred on the farmstead where the docensed with his wife, the former Miss Daley Witchell, and a partner, Mr. P. Archer, had been living.

They were to have dined out, and at the time of the occurrence, Mrs. Witchell was waiting outside on the grounds, leaving the two men with her brother, Mr. R. C. "Witchell, in the building.

NOVELIST AND MAN AT WINDOW OF BATHROOM

TWO WEAPONS FOUND

LONDON, OCT. 26.

AN EXCITING ENCOUNTER BETWEEN A WELL-KNOWN WOMAN NOVELIST AND A MYSTERIOUS ARMED MAN, WHO APPEAR- ED TO BE ATTEMPTING TO FORCE, AN ENTRY INTO THE MAYFAIR HOME OF VISCOUNT RATENDONE IS ENGAGING THE ATTENTION OF THE POLICE.

Two important facts connected with the affair give it more than usual interest:

Miss Dorota Flattau, the novelist, describes the intruder as an Indian.

Viscount Ratendone is the eldest surviving son of Earl Willingdon, the Viceroy of India.

The dark-faced intruder was armed with an ugly- looking dagger eighteen inches long, which he lost as the result of Miss Flattau's intervention.

The immediate inference drawn when the facts were related was that an attempt on the life of Viscount Ratendone, merely because of his relationship to the Viceroy, had been plotted.
