higher costs of furnishing telephone

by City Solicitor Perlman in his fight
against higher phone costs.
At present. Perlman said, city users
are paying more than actual cost and

LONDON. September 6.-Society
here is greatly excited tonight by the
disclosures Of a love drama which has
resulted from the discovery in Lon
don fiat yesterday afternoon Of the
bodies of a married man of wealth
and social position and pretty,
Young housemaid. She was in the
employ of the tenants of the flat. who
are away on 4 holiday.
The man in the case is Albert
Michael Joshua, 45, we'll known
one Of the biggest furnishing and
decorating firms in London. He has
a big mansion in the West End and is
married to a relative of the late Sir
Ernest Casscl. He has two grown
daughters.
Bodies Found Together.
He was found with five revolver
bullet wounds in his head and body.
Pangy Mercer a pretty bobbed-haire
housemaid. She had been killed by
one revolver shot through the middle
OF her forehead. Beside her out
stretched arm was a big service re-
volver.
The tragedy recalled the fact that
one of the most brilliant society we'd
dings here last season was that of one
of Joshua's daughters. 1t was at
tended, among others, by Lady Helen
CasseI, Lady Louis Mountbatten and a
number of other titled society peo-
pie, while two of the child train
bearers were grandchildren of Lord
Reading.
The police found letters in the fiat
which throw some light on the double
killing. In one of them the dead girl
wrote about secret marriage, and in
another she spoke of making a GER
tain man sit up" One police theory
is that the girl was unaware that
Joshua was married, and that he had
been making her think he would
marry her, or even that a secret mar
riage". had already taken place be-
tween them, and that when she dis
covered the truth she shot him in a
rage and then committed suicide.
Dead Several Days.
One Of the bullets passed through
Joshua's right elbow. and forearm be-
fore striking his head. From this
the police believe he was taken by
surprise and tried to shield himself at
the beginning of the fusillade. Po-
lice surgeons have decided the two
were dead three or four days before
their bodies were discovered and evil
dence in the fiat indicated that
Joshua had stayed the night there be-
fore the killing took place. Joshua S
wife was in Scotland at the time of
the shooting, but is now on her way
to London.
