CRAVING FOR PUBLICITY.
EX-RECTOR’S DEATH. Received Julv 31, 12.35 p.m. LONDON, July 30. The Daily Mail says that the craving for publicity of Mr Harold Davidson, who died after being mauled by a lion at an amusement park, was unabated even when he was dragged bleeding and mangled from the lion’s cage. His first words were: “Telephone the London newspapers. You must not miss the first editions.” Among his last words were: Am 1 on the main page?” The lion remained on exhibition after liis death but Mr Davidson’s daughter, who also was injured, protested, saying it was disgraceful, whereupon the show was closed and a long queue was turned away. The Dailv Mail adds: “Mj Davidson made £20,000 from the show business in recent years but he gave it all away.”
