NOTES OF THE DAY WHERE ARE WE The Very Idea!

THE GUERRA CASE

The tragic death of Madame Alves-Guerra and the chain of puzzling circumstances that necessarily removed the case from the entogory of simple suicide, remain, unfortunately, a topic of widespread public discussion. The Inquest, instead of elucidat ing the strange features assocint- ed with the shooting, added to the air of mystery, and increased rather than lessened sensational talk. For there were wide gaps in the evidence. At no time were the jury presented with an exact picture of the room as it appeared when the discovery of the tragedy WAR made, Indicating. for instance, the position of all such articles as were relevant to the shooling. Not one of the high police officers engaged in the CL.D. Investigation appeared, to lend the value of his expert study of the case, or to indicate the result of following up lines of inquiry suggested by queer features which light. One or two very interest- ing points cropped up during the evidence itself, that were never fully explored.
