Saturday Tragedy in Boston Home

Boston, February 27,-Lulu Belle
Hurst, 16 years of age, was murdered at
her mothers home, Sanford Place,
South End, tonight by John P. Conley,
who is "a years old and lives nearly
opposite the scene of the tragedy.
His motive is supposed to have besn
that of Tilted lover. He admits the
shooting but claims it was accidental
and not premeditated. Lulu's 10 year
olds sister, Grace, who was witness,
claims that the shooting was deliberate
and without the least warning. Corley
has lately got into trouble with another
girl and is said to have been out on bail
pending settlementiof the case. Learn
ing these facts, Lulu spurned his atten-
lions toward herself, but he has been
most persistent He called at her house
tonight and, according to the witness,
was sitting on the sofa with Lulu, ap-
parently trying to reconcile her to the
fact that he loved her, when, without
warming, he drew revolver and press
ing it to the girls forehead fred one
shot. The girl died instantly. Conley
then walked to the other end Of the room
and coolly threw the revolver under an
other sofa where it was later found by
the police. AS soon as Grace realized
what had been done, she screamed for
help and ran out to her mother who was
at work in the kitchen. They rushed
back to the sitting room and found Con-
ley preparing to leave but Mrs. Hurst,
who is a large, powerful woman, com
manded him to stay where he was and
held him at bay until the police arrived
and placed him under arrest. The mother
and Younger daughter were detained as
witnesses.

Dugan, who has investigated the shoot.
ing of Lulu Hurst by John P. CunIey
last night states that no is satisfied the
Shooting was accidental, and that ii was
proba bly case of "did not know it was
loaded" He denied that Miss Hurst was
angry with Conley because of a criminal
charge preferred against him by another
girl. and says she did not believe the
charges were true. According to CAPTAIN
Dugan, Miss Hurst's sister was describ-
ing a play in which there was some
shooting, when Conley playfully pointed
the revolver at Lulu ana inadvertently
pulled the trigger. Conley did not t,ys,
escape, and lie did not throw the revolver
under sofa, but dropped it on the floor
where it was found. Conley will be ar
raigned tomorrow.

A Famous Dwarf.

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf of
Charles I, was introduced at court during
the festivities attending the coronation. By
an odd conceit he was concealed in cold
pie, the crust of which, being removed, dis
closed the dwarf fully dressed and making
his bow to the king and queen. At the age
of 20 he was IS inches high, but before at
tanning the age of 80 he grew several inches
additional. Godfrey, like most dwarfs,
was of limited Intelligence, but Of intense
vanity and large self conceit. II is asserted
by many scientific authorities that this is
a characteristic of dwarfs.
