ter IN Maryland, b. Their Domesttcs.
Marv and Fanny Green, sisters, the
eldest being only Is, made an almost
unprecedented attempt at murder, at
New Market, Md, on the night Of the
14gh The victims we're w. F.. S. Wal
ler, an cid gentleman IS years of age,
ana his sister, Bliss Jane Waller, who
reside IN p stately old mansion on a
farm, near the village. Here the
couple had lived together for years,
managing their farm and depending
solely for assistance about the house
on the two Green girls. They had been
reared by the Waller family, a matter
which, IN the eyes OF Mr.. Waller, was
sufficient to guarantee their honesty.
Mr.. Waller had received quite sum OF
money, which he kept IN hisroom, and
the girls were aware Of this fact. They
waited unit! about IL O'Clock, when
feeling sure that Mr.. and Miss Waller
We're asleep, they quietly armed
themselves with stout clubs and
asCended to the old gentle
mans apartment. As they entered
the room Mr.. Waller aWOke, and, see
ing who it was, demanded angriiy
what they wanted. Without waiting
to reply the girls rushed at him.
Though aged, Mr.. Waller was still
quite an active man, and springing
from his bed he seized the elder and
would have djsarmed her had no5 the
other hit him over the head with her
club and knocked him senseless to the
floor. Not content with this, they be
labored his senseless form with blows,
until, believing that life was extinct,
they left him to search for Miss Wall
er. Rushing into the old lady's room
they dragged her screaming from her
bed. and with one savage blow from a
clus, laid her senseless. Then they
beat her about the head until the
blood cushed forth In streams and I'M
til all vestige Of her features were liter
ally beaten out OF recognition. Fl
nally, satisfied that both their victims
were dead, the girls secured about
$3.50 in money and fled. They have
not yet been captured. Miss Waller
cannot recover, though her brother
may.

Ludwig, who was recently dtDosed
from the Bavarian throne, committed
suicide at s O'Clock on the evening of
the 131h. He had gone out for a
promenade IN the park OF the Berg
Castle, Munich, accompanied by DR..
Gudden, his physician. The King sud-
denly threw himself into Starnberg
Lake, and was drowned. The physi-
clan lamped into the water to rescue
the king, and was also drowned. The
watch worn by King Ludwig, and
which was on his person when his
corpse was recovered from the lake,
had stopped at 6:45 o'clock. DR..
Mueller ana Hubert, the Kings stew
ard, had the bodies Of Ludwig and DR..
Gudden conveyed to the Berg Castle
and placed on beds Although there
was neither any percePtible respira-
tIon nor pulse movement In either
body, DR.. Mueller and his assistants
OF the Ambulance Corps, attempted to
restore animation IN both, and only
ceased their efforts at resuscitation at
midnight, when life was pronounced
extinct in both cases.
King LudWig's suicide has cast a
deep gloom over Munich. Now it IS
seen plainly that the people were deep
ly attached to the King, and evidences
are everywhere manifest OF the popu-
lar sorrow caused by his tragic death.
The police have issued the following
bulletin: "The King quietly submitted
to the advice OF the medical commits
sion and left for Berg Castle. Yester-
day evening his majesty went out for
a walk in the park In company with
Dr.. Gudden. Their prolonged absence
caused anxiety at the castle. The
park and the shores Of Lake st. Ar

King and DR.. GudIen we're found in
the water. Both showed slight signs
OF animation Efforts TO restore life,
however, We're uuavaILing."
