In LATH we find that "McNab's" first wife, Iris, died in April 23, 1930. She was killed by Lieutenant Starov (Wladimir  Blagidze).
 
btw: I found a curious construction by LATH's disoriented hero: "The  left side of my head was now a bowling  alley  of pain. On the other side  an inane baby was
staring at me across its mother's  shoulder  over  the  back of the seat  in front  of me."
