Affaire de Coeur

The details were hazy; but it was alleged that Anna Ousoupaitais was talking earnestly with Henry Dayton, U. S. Vice Consul at Belgrade, capital of Yugo-Slavia, in the latter's home. The young Vice Consul told Anna that their friendship must cease; Anna remonstrated, but in vain.

The next scene found Anna dead, a bullet hole in her head, and the Vice Consul mortally wounded, three bullets having passed through his neck. Police removed him to the hospital where he later died.

It was first thought that the girl had committed suicide, after shooting her lover, as both her wrists had been cut. Later, Belgrade police avowed themselves mystified.
