Man Shoots Eis Wife and Kills Her
Mother in Milwaukee.

Man Shoots Via Wife and Kills Her
Mother in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, March 21.-John liolzing-
er's family troubles were ended Friday
night by an awful crime. He shot and
killed his aged mctherin-law, Mrs.
Catherine Miller, and fatally wounded
his young wife as she sought to escape
from his murderous rage. Uolzinger
was worthless fellow, whose wife was
applying for a divorce. The couple
were living apart. Just before eight
o'clock Friday night Holzinger went
to his former home at 3SS Barclay street.
He found the kitchen doors locked.
When he raped for admittance they
were not opened. This enraged him.
and, kicking down the doors, he pulled
big revolver from his pocket.
His wife and her mother, together
with Miss Catherine Engbring, aged IL
years, a niece of Mrs. Holzirger, and
the four-year-old child, We're in the
kitchen. When the doors gave way be-
fore Holzinger's powerful blows they
ran screaming toward the front part of
the house. Mrs. Miller, who is co years
of age, ran into bedroom. Holzinger
followed the terrified old woman and
sent bullet through her heart. She
fell dead by the side of Holzinger's little
daughter.
Mrs. Holzinger had by this time sue
ceeded in getting out of the house
through the front door, but she tripped
and fell headlong upon the steps. While
she was lying PROSTATE her husband
fired bullet into her back, which pene--
trated her left lung. The murderer
passed by Miss Engbring as she
crouched low with fear in the hallway.
Leaving his little daughter crying by
the side of her dead grandmother, Hol-
Finger fled from the scene OF his bloody
deeds. He was pursued and finally
captured. He appears unconcerned and
says his wife and his mother-in-law had
attacked him with knives. The police
do not believe this story, as no knives
were found near where the women We're
lying. Physicians say Mrs. Holzinger
| cannot recover.

He looked into her eyes and saw
there what he wanted. Oh, that con-
rersation of the eyesl No words can
ever do Justice to it. No lip-words are
necessary when the eyes are talking.
"Will you give me your address, and
will you write to me and tell me Of
yourself and of all that interests you?"
A man can't stop loving q woman all
ct once, neither can he lose interest in
what has hitherto been his one heart
interest. AT last lie spoke, not with
his lips but with his eyes. And she
promised to write to him.
But her letters were continuance
Of their colnrade-like good-by. She
wrote him of her new life, of her fellow
dodgers; of one interesting medical
student, of their long conversations,

Suicide at Egg Harbor City.

There was considerable excitement at
Egg Harbor City Friday morning when
it was known that John Miller, an aged
farmer, was found dead in a cnair in his
house, his head partly blown of, and a
pistol grasped in his dead hand. Miller,
who was a German, lived about two
miles out from the compact part of the
city. and was cripple from rheumatism
and unable to move about much. He
was about IS years old and his wife IS.
They lived unhappily together and had
numerous quarrels. When, therefore,
some of the neighbors heard the report
of the pistol, and " ent to the house and
found Miller dead, there was suspicion
that he had been shot by his wife and
the pistol afterward placed in his hand.
All sorts of stories were circulated but
the facts were finally elected before q
Coroner's jury impanelled by Coroner
Senft, assisted by Prosecutor Perry and
County Physician Souder. There had
been fight between the husband and
wife-the eyes of both being discolored.
Broken dishes strewed the kitchen floor,
and there were numerous other evidences
of q recent quarrel. Neighbors testified
to the frequency of such quarrels, and
the general worthleness of Miller. The
jury were evidently convinced of the
truth of the wife's testimony that her
husband, as q final result of his tit Of
rage, loaded up an old horse pistol with
a heavy charge of shot and killed himself.
The jury brought in the following rather
-worded verdict:
"He came to his death by feloniously,
and brutally numbering and
killing himself -
