mates-Lizzle Coleman Killed by Henry
LedtlSe, Who Then Commits Suicide.
OsTERvILLE, Mass, June 11.-Lizzie, the
13-year-old daughter of William Coleman,
a bright schoolgirl of this place, was shot
and instantly killed yesterday by Henry
Ledtke, German laborer. Her brother,
aged IA years, who attempted to protect
| the girl, was fired at twice by the MUIR
derer, but both bullets went wide. Ledtke
then placed the revolver which he had
used against his own temple and fired,
killing himself instantly. Jealousy on
the part of the man, who was about 40
years old, toward the girl for associating
with lads of her own age is thought to
have prompted the act.
Ledtke has been employed in this vicin-
ity for about three years, and has always
been on friendly terms with Mr.. Coleman,
a farmer. The German had shown great
liking for Lizzie, but recently her mother
had noted signs of displeasure at some
slight attentions shown the girl by her
boy schoolmates. This became especially
marked when, not long ago, Ledtke threat
ened to shoot a 13-year-old lad living near
the Colemans because he had walked
home from school with Lizzie. At this
not only Mrs. Coleman, but her husband
and the girl herself became alarmed, and
it was decided that Charlie Coleman, her
brother, should accompany her to and
from school.
Murderer Was Desperate.
In pursuance of this plan, brother and
sister We're together yesterday morning.
They had reached point about 500 yards
from the house, when Ledtke suddenly APP
peared before them and came threaten
ingly toward Lizzie, and pointing re-
volver directly at her. fired, The girl had
tried to shield her face by holding both
hands before it. The bullet passed
through both hands and inflicted flesh
wound in the face.
Charlie bravely stepped between his
sister and Ledtke, which so enraged the
latter that he fired twice, almost point
blank, at the boy, but neither shot was
effective, and the lad and his sister started
to run toward home together. Ledtke
sprang forward, and rushing up behind
the girl, he sent bullet into the back of
her head killing her instantly. He then
placed the smoking muzzle to his own
head and discharged the remaining bullet
into his brain, falling dead in his tracks.
The frantic parents and neighbors, at
tracted by the sound of Shots rushed to
the scene, but they were too late.
The community is stricken with grief at
the occurrence the like of which has
never come near this vicinity before.
