This would place the plane about

flight, from Seville, which to many
persons of Spanish extraction Is
the city most truly representative
of Spain, to" Montevideo, capital of

was the case in "the death of Mrs.
Virginia McPherson, recurring re
ports of foul play led to the dis
trict attorney taking a hand.
Mrs. Drey ins was the divorced
wife of Herbert Dreyfus, prominent
New York broker, and tit) m unci J.

and named us a co-respondent in
Dreyfus' suit for divorce, was with
her on the night she was killed nt
