FEARING THIEVES,SHE STARTS
FOR BANK AND IS KILLED;
BURGLARS ARRIVE TOO LATE
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 3.—Fearing that
her home would be visited by burglars,
Miss Nancy McConnell, an aged and
eccentric woman of Westmoreland
county, started for the bank with sev
eral thousand dollars In cash, which
she had kept In the house for months,
only to be run over and Instantly killed
by a train.
She had 'hardly left the house when
the expected burglars arrived and loot
ed the place. To add to the further
complications, at least half a dozen
wills disposing of her estate, which is
valued at almost $1,000,000, have been
found, and what will undoubtedly de
velop Into one of the greatest will con
tests ever fought In the local courts,
has already been started. *
