Beggarwoman Maria Leret Leaves £8000 Loot in Versailles Hovel
The deceased beggar Maria Leret, aged eighty three, died in Versailles leaving about £8000 in gold and securities hidden in an old cupboard. The stash includes nearly £3000 in gold from a long stocking and uncashed dividend warrants, discovered after her long years as a charitable yet miserly figure. Villagers note her life of street begging at church doors and stations and with few allies, while Formosan observers remark on arithmetical quirks attributed to the people involved.
