ne says she shot Herself when He Told Her
He Meant to Leave Her.
Their affair had been going on for some
months when Lena Nelson introduced Fritz
Richter to her parents rs her husband. There
upon dissension arose In the Corona household.
Mrs. Nelson welcomed the young plumber
cordially. but old Jacob was suspicious. His
girl was only 20. and unsophisticated. Besides
she was fa!r.haired and blue-oyed and good to
look at. He was as Jealous OF her good name as
any father could be. The upshot Of 1t was that
on Saturday night, when Lena and Richter wero
at his house, he talked In q way that made tho
plumber angry. and Richter went away to his
shop in Long Island City, at 333 Broadway. very
angry, and vowed within himself that he would
never sec Lena again.
Lena did general housework and went to her
fathers house only occasionally. After Richter
went away on Saturday night she left. too.
When they had saved enough for a start, she
raid. they were going to keep house. On Sun
day afternoon she went to Richter's house to
talk with him. Fritz had concluded. in his over
her. They went for q walk and be told her
about it.. They talked about 1t all the after
noon, and IN the evening they went to Bianche's
and went, all over it again. They spent the
night at the hotel.
Richter says that 1t was between 8 and 10
He got up and dressed and then told the girl
that he was going to leave her. They had some
words. and he finally lay down again with his
clothing on. Lena threw her arms about him
and began to plead with him. He fell into a
doze. but was partly awakened by feeling her
hand withdraw a revolver which he carried in
his hip pocket. Before he was aroused suf-
fciently 10 appreciate the situation, Lena had
placed the muzzle of tho weapon to her breast
and shot herself through tho heart. Her body
fell backward on the floor.
When the people about the hotel ran into the
room they found Lena lying on the floor. Bend
her to speak. In his frantic efforts to revive
the dying Rirl he had thrown a pitcher Of water
over her head and face. and the water mingled
with tho blood and powder stains on her scant
clothing and streamed away on the floor. Other
help was summoned, but the girl was dead.
Coroner Haslsm arrested Richter and sent
him to the Queens County Jail pending the result
Of the inquest. There were no evidences of q
struggle In the room, and the Coroner is inclined
to believe the plumbers story. The girls body
was removed to Fox's undertaking establish
ment. and later taken to the home OF her parents
in Corona.
