and then fired a bullet into his own
brain, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. 1t
was nearly 2 O'clock in the morning, and
as the policeman on the beat started to
give his theory of the cause of the crime
he was interrupted by the ringing of the
call bell. The night clerk glanced at the
annunciator, and his face paled, for the
pointer indicated room 40. Since the
murder and suicide BORDERS had been
given not to use that room, and. after
giving the button push, he returned to
his seat. In moment the bell rang
again. The call from room 40 had beun
repeated.
"Bur-r-r.r, bur-r-r-r," again sounded
the bell.

"What's the matter? Why don't you
