- Notes // Примечания: “A quarrel between two Russians after a drinking bout resulted in the death of one of them and the arrest of the other. The victim, Barbara Mikhailova [or Mikhailovna] was found lying dead at 118 Rue Lieutenant Petiot at 6 am, her body bearing the marks of many blows.” Husband V. S. Kochetoff was initially charged with murder, but later acquitted after “medical evidence had been given to the effect that death was due to heart trouble brought about by excessive drinking. The body of Mrs Kochetova was found in the room where the couple lived and where he admitted he had given her a beating. Accused and his wife did not get along and for a few weeks prior to her death there were frequent quarrels of a violent nature between them.”
