SEDUCTION, SUICIDE, AND ATTEMPTED MUIR
| DIR -EadianapoLts, August 2O.-George Z.
Harding, editor and proprietor of the ln-
dianapolls Herald, shot Sol. Moritz, prom.
,nent merchant of this city under the fol-
lowing circumstances TIE gentlemen have
been warm friends and very intimate in their
social relations. MortZ, who is Hebrew,
aged about forty years, and married, took
advantage Of the intimacy and succeeded in
seducing Harding's daughter, about eigh-
teen years of age. This was accomplished
last March, and improper relations have been
maintained by the parties since that time.
The young lady confessed these facts to her
father on last evening, and, overwhelmed
with remorse, attempted to commit suicide
by taking opium.
1t is thought she repeated the dose this
morning. About l O'Clock this afternoon
Harding went in search of physician, and
met Moritz on the street, and Immediately
began firing ut him, shooting five times, and
then passed down the street. One OF the
shots shattered Moritz's left elbow. and an
other passed through his arm, lodging in bis
chest. 1t is thought the lItter-named would
prove fatal, but at 10 O'Clock he was resting
quietly, and will probably recover.
Miss Harding died about 8 O'Clock this
afternoon. Harding is under $4,000 tail to
await the result of MoritZ's wounds. Pub
llc feeling is very strong in sympathy with
Harding. Since the shooting Mrs. Harding
step.m0ther of the deceased, stated that
Morilz had also made improper proposals to
her. MorltZ denies the charges made by
Miss Harding, and claims to be able to prove
his innocence.

In connection with the sudden death OF
Police Officer Fleet, while turning in an
alarm from q fre.box yesterday, very Im-
portant theory has been suggested. the &C.
cepted belief being that he died either OF
heart disease or apoplexy. That theory,
emanatipg from distinguished physician OF
this city, is that after the violent exercise OF
running to the box did he not, to sustain
himself while turning The crank, lean with the
other hand against the edge of the box, and
his fingers coming in contact with the wire,
thus, if such could be the case, form cir
cult of himself between the wire and the
crank. and thus received fatal shock The
sad alrair should be a warning at least to pc.
licemen and others turning in alarms untl'
the correctness of the theory is established
