- Notes // Примечания: “Russian Lady Shot by Lover Passes Away: Losing her nine-day fight against death from bullet wounds inflicted on her by Vladimir P. Tesin, of the SMP Russian Auxiliary Detachment, who committed suicide on October 30, the 29-year-old Mrs H V Dantoni, Russian, died at the Country Hospital on Sunday. Mrs Dantoni, wife of an American, was shot by the Russian policeman, with whom she had an affair, in a fit of temper. When her husband had left for the US, she remained in Shanghai as she was not granted a permit to enter. Tesin, madly in love with her, insisted on seeing more of her since the husband’s departure, but she told him not see her anymore. Despondent and urged by jealousy, Tesin left his patrol duty on the evening of October 30 and went to Mrs Dantoni’s room at 591/173 Bubbling Well Road. As his pleading proved to no avail, he pulled out his service pistol and shot her. Seeing her slump to the floor, he turned the gun to his temple and shot himself through the brains. While Tesin died on the spot, Mrs Dantoni was rushed to the Country Hospital where she fought against death for nine days.”
