FOiied in His HeinOus Attempt, Hs
Ends His Life.

New York, Nov. 9.-Little Bertha
Graf. the A-year-old daughter OF Max
and Rebecca Graf, who live In an East
Side tenement. was attacked by man
with pistol in the cellar yesterday af.
ternoon. On escaping from him. after
alarming the house with her screams
he turned his pistol on himself. firing
three shots, which proved fatal.
The man jumped out of an angle as
Bertha was going upstaids. She saw a
revolver in his hand and screamed. He
grasped her by the throat and choked
her so hard that she could hardly
breathe. She became desperate then
and struggled furiOusly. The tenement
reused by her screams, became alive
with tenants. AS they rushed to her
rescue, crying vengeance, the man
turned the pistol on himself and fired
just as the girls brother tore her from
his grasp. The mans body lies uniden-
titled at the morgue.
