However, they are known to have warned
him to stop drinking or he would surely die.
Right then settled down the shroud Of mys-

fortunately a German specialist was called
in for the Viscount, and that this doctor, in
turn, introduced German masseur named
Motz who very quickly became indispensable
to the Viscount so that the patient would
never let him leave his side even when trav-
cling, as was his habit, by private plane.
There are servants and others who say that

addicted to narcotics, supplied to him in guam
titles which no doctor in his senses would pre-
scribe.
1t is alleged that these were provided by
Motz from Germany, struggled into England
by air and landed regularly at Croydon air

the London hospitals located the tall blonde in
one of them and, sure enough she was
wounded. The doctor took one look and smiled.
The wounds had been caused by face-lifting

Before they had time to relieve the sick
mans mind, he had taken a plane back to
England and as he supposed 10 the side of
