"EMpEROR OF SAHRA"
 TRIED TO BUY POISON

Mineola, N. Y., Jan. 13.--Attorneys for Madame Jacquis Lebaudy, who shot and killed her husband, the self styled Emperor of Sahara" in their hotel at Westbury last Saturday ob- tained today from New York Drug clerk an affidavit stating that Le- baudy tried to purchase two pounds of poison the day he was slain. Ac- cording to the affidavit, Lebaudy said the poison was for his wife and child. The clerk said he refused to make the sale.
 Monday to Charles R. Weeks, dis trict attorney of Naussau County. It is believed it will strengthen Mad anne Lebaudy's claim that she and her daughter, Jacqueline, had been threatened repeatedly by her hus- band.
 Ernest D. Suffern, an attorney who said he had had charge of Mad anne Le5audy's affairs for more than ten years, issued a statement today declaring there was no likeli- hood that a successful attempt would be made to prevent her and her daughter from inheriting the Major part of the slain mans fortune, which is estimated at several millions. Mad anne Lebaudy, he said, can prove q clear right to her dcwer interest ill her estate.
 So far as is known, Lebaudy left no will.
