Since Louisa procured her last employ
ment with the Gains. her brother called
frequently upon her. on each occasion
he asked her not to receive the atten-
tons OF an uptown barber. He said the
man had a bad reputation. that his in
tentions towards her were not honor
able. and that two other girls had cause
to rue his attentions to them. Her only
reply was that she was twenty-four
years OF age and old enough to attend to
her own business.
He had evidently made up his mind
early yesterday afternoon to kill her II
she would not follow his advice, as he
complained OF the girls conduct to Mrs.
Lutz. who keeps n lnger-becr saloon at
4i3 West Forticth street.

leaving brother and sister in the rear

heard three pistol shots in rapid sue
c~ession A brother Of Mrs. Calm rushed
downstairs. followed by the cook and
other members OF the household.
Brother and sister were found lying
dead. scarcely three feet separating
through the young woman's forehead.
and another through her cheek. The
