- Notes // Примечания: “Russian Girl Kills Self in Lover’s Room: Takes Poison To End Life In Quarters Of Young Shanghai Dane. Stark tragedy in Room 62 at the Embassy Hotel occupied by Mr. F. M. Bjergfelt, a Danish citizen, employed at the Great Northern Telegraph Co. shortly before 1 o’c clock, when a 24-year-old Russian, Miss Tamara Tavguridze, committed suicide by taking a dose of strychnine. Several residents of the hotel rushed to Mr Bjergfelt’s room on the sixth floor of the hotel when the alarm was raised, and some attempted to give the girl milk to drink, but she refused to swallow and said: ‘Leave me alone, I will die in a few minutes.’ A while later the girl weakly asked a doctor to be called and drank up the glass, but when the ambulance arrived she was in convulsions and died soon after arriving at the General Hospital.”
