PARIS, Nov. 29.-The life
drama of a beautiful young Amer
ican woman who followed a
Frenchman around the world only
to kill herself in despair when she
finally found him in Paris is con-
cealed in the story of Rose Shan
messy, twenty mine, Of Minneapolis.
High circles in Paris are trying
hard to keep the details Of the
girls story from the public.
OF HIGH FAMILY.
The Frenchman was known at the
girls flat under the name Of "Non-
sieur Dupont" but the American
while not divulging his
real name. admits that he Is a men,
Der Of a high French family. and
nephew of the owner of a Paris
newspaper. who has successfully
hushed up all avenues of informa.
ton.
The story. so far as 1t Is known,
tells how Miss Shannessy met and
fell in love with the Frenchman.
who is young and distinguished
looking. when the latter was on a
diplomatic mission in China. They
became engaged to marry but quar-.
relied, after which he returned to
Paris without saying good-by.
GOES TO FRANCE.
Broken hearted Miss Shannessy
sold her effects in China and came
to France. arriving in Paris some
months ago. After her arrival the
old friendship was renewed. But in
a short time she discovered that he
was interested in another woman.
although he denied 1t when she ap.
preached him about it.
Last week Tuesday, following an.
other scene in which she exhibited
her jealousy of the other woman,
he admitted that he had formed an
other friendship. whereupon she
killed herself. using a pistol which
she had brought with her from
China.
Since then the tremendous in
fluehce of his family has been exert
ed to prevent the tragedy becoming
known. with the result that the re-
port of the suicide has no appeared
in the customary police reports.
WILL SEND BODY HOME.
When the question Of burial came
up the undertaken went to the
American Consul for the necessary
permit. which the Consul refused
pending instructions from her family
in Minneapolis. The consul COM
municated with Washington, where
the story leaked out.
Consul Ives this afternoon receiy-
ed instructions to send the body
home.
The identity of the man in the
case is still shrouded in mystery,
both the French and American
authorities absolutely declining to
talk on the ground that the exposure
would be harmful to the family of
the young man concerned.
