American Woman Agnes MacDuff Found Dead in France
The body of Agnes Wirth MacDuff of Cambridge Massachusetts is identified in Paris as the young American woman who died by her own hand at Villebon near Meudon after taking poison on July 29. French law bars cremation for suicide victims, so burial will likely occur in Paris. Local inquiries in Cambridge fail to confirm residence or tenancy, though she had been described as an aviatrix from Cambridge.
