NINTH YEAR smoke a ‘Bill Arp’ waiters New Brand 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.
