- Notes // Примечания: Shot himself into his right temple twice at the house of master, a rich Chinese merchant, residing at 504 Thibet Road. “Gugoff [as he was called by the press] took the drastic action of ending his life at one o’clock in his master’s house, and died at the General Hospital at nine last night. He was seen by his friends on Avenue Joffre in the morning and his actions were stated to be normal. The motive of the suicide could not be ascertained up to late last night.” “The deceased was sitting in a chair when he fired the shot. On the desk there were two letters addressed to a woman at 262 Route Vallon. The woman admitted she had been on good terms with the deceased since last August. She recalled going to the Cossack Ball on Thursday evening and returning to her home with her companion early next morning, when they had a quarrel and the deceased left the house in a bad temper.”
