Paranoia Linked to Chauffeur in New London Shooting
In New London July 15 a disputed report cites physicians who say Mrs. Florence De Cordova was attacked by chauffeur Bernard Geissler before he shot her, while another physician finds no assault. Evidence shows Geissler, described as paranoid, planned the crime as his liquor fueled temper flared at the wealthy class. He drove to a lone point on North Stonington road where the gasoline failed, a suspected pretext for the murder. He then killed himself, and Mrs. De Cordova has told prosecutors of an affair that prompted divorce proceedings on June 18.
