SUNDAY CRIMES
Y O yng Woman Kills Mother
And Silicides.
MO SLAYS SELF 4 WIFE.
Another Sheets Wife, Lady
Friends And Himself.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. B.—Ber
tha Beilstein killed her mother
yesterday later put four bul
lets into her own body, from the
effects of which she cannot re.
cover,
The only explanation the girl
has given for her deed were
these words:
“I was tired of life. It held no
pleasure for me. I wanted to die
and did not want my nroth er to
live and fret over my death. For
that reason I killed her.”
A son of the murdered woman
entering his mother’s room
found her dead. A bullet wound
at the right side of the nose told
the story. In a room adjoining
that of the mother the son found
the body of his sister lying in a
pool of blood, her right hand
clutching a revolver.
Mrs. Beilstein had been shot
three times with a 38 cabiber
revolver. One shot had entered
at the right side of the nose, an
ctherth* right and the
third had passed through the
right groin.
The daughter’s wounds con
vinced the physicians that her
death waa a question of only a
short time.
During u period of conscious
ness the girl told one of her
brother’s of the shooting. She
had decided to kill herself and
knew that the shock of her death
would break her mother’s heart
and concluded death would be
preferable to her sufferings on
earth. Her mother, she said, was
sleeping when she went into the
room. She placed the revolver
close to her breast and fired. On
the report of the pistol her moth
er sat up in bed and said to her:
“Birdie, what ar# you doing?”
The answer was another shot,
which she says was fired at her
mother’s face. One more wound
was inflicted afterwards.
Frederick Beilstein, father of
the family, was one of the best
residents of Alleghany. He died
suddenly in December last from
apoplexy and since then Birdie,
who was twenty years old, is
said to have lost all of her youth
ful beauty. From a light hearted
happy gi r i B ] ie became a quiet,
depressed, despondent woman.
Hence the friends of the family
tli ink she was temporarily in
sane when she committed the
crime.

Bribery Matter May Be Rsviv»d
In Franklin County.
( | • * A
Columbus, 0., Oct. B.—Though
confirmation is necessary lacking,
it is persistenly rumored here that
the Franklin-County Grand Jury is
working on the legislation bribery
case, and that indictment of Sen
ator Hanna may follow. The jur
ors will not talk, but it is kuown
that, while all others work b. fore
the body has been completed, they
are still in session. In the last few
days certain members of the Leg
islature have arrived here, visited
the Courthouse and departed, all
uador cover of secrecy.
Prosecutor Voorhees, when ask
ed today about the presentation of
the Hanna bribery case to th» grand
jury, said;
“I prefer not to talk about the
matter until next week ”
As there seems to be no reason
why he should not deny it at once
if there was nothing in the rumor
that the case is in his hands, it is
quite certa’n that the celebrated
case is to be giyen another whirl
this time before the Franklin-
County Grand Jury, H. H. Hol
lepb pkjvill be the principal ac -
cused.
Colonel Dick will also be charg
ed, and he will probably be taken
from his congressional contest in
the Nineteenth District to the
Franklin-County juryroom.
Yates yeterday shot and danger
ously wounded his wife and her
friend, Mrs. L. J. Brown, and
then shot himself through the
heard. Domestic infelicity cans
ed by Yates’s dissipation
brought about the tragedy.
