seryant-mad passing through the hallway
heard some loud talking, and soon all
the occupants OF the floor were startled by
n pistol-shot. A special detective named
Robert Scholield, who rushed TO the apart
ments. found Dunn pale with fright and
unable to speak. His wife was hystcrical
and i'm tears. The body OF the young wo-
man who had come up in the elevator lay
across the threshold. her right hand closed

The police were not informed OF the
suicide for three or four hours after its
occurrence. The Windsor Hotel people
were very nOn-cOmmunicative last evening,
and there was an apparent effort to hush
the matter up. Detectives Shelley and Nc
Gowan were sent out from the Fifty-firsi-
Street poicc-StatiOn TO look up the case.
About midnight they brought Mr.. Dunn TO
the statiOn-hOuSe in carriage, and he told
his story TO the sergeant. Miss Keiser, he
said. was from Utic1. He used to
know her before he was married. He
thought she was about thirty years old.
She was in love with him. and when she
called to see him last evening declared that
it was cruel Of him to slight her. Without
him she did not wish TO live. She talked
wildly in this strain for few minutes,
Dunn and his wife trying TO pacify her.
She refused TO he comiOrted, and Dunn
left her with his wife for moment, while
h went into another room. He did not
say for what purpose. Mrs. Dunn told the
Young woman that she could call ana see
them. and would always be welcome.
ooh, God :" Miss keiscr gaSped in re-
ply. Suddenly she drew pistol from the
folds of her dress. Without speaking an
other word she placed it to Der head and
fired. She fell to the floor without moan,
and before aid could be summoned was
dead. Mr.. Dunn rushed into the room at
the sound OF the shot, fearing that the
frenzicd woman had shot bis wife. A. he
came in the dying woman opened her eyes
and looked at him. She made slight mo-
ton with her hands. but almost instantly
they dropped motiOnlesS IN death.
