Suicide Note Is Doubted By Police

‘PARIS. Nov. 6—~'Sillcido or mur- der is the problem facing the Paris police, who are investigating tho ,dcntil of Pedro Dnlbois, an immen- sely wealthy Peruvian, known as ,u joyous and liberal spender in Paris night life. who was found dead yesterday in his apartment in the Avenue Du Ilois De'Bou- logne. A note pinned to his coat told of his intention to kill him- self. '

The case, however, promises to

be another famous Paris mystery. The police have ascertained that Dol‘bols returned home in the early hours with three chance acquaint- ances, picked up in the Moutmar- tre district. Pour half filled glass- es and several empty bottles, were found in the room, and there were signs of a struggle. The note pinned lo the Peru- vlan's clothing read: "Do not ac- cuse anyone of my death. ‘i have committed suicide." lBut the au- thorities assert that this was not written by the dead man.
