certainly respond to my notification.
General Shafter was asked if he
thought the present army was held in
readiness, without mastering out any
more soldiers, for the purpose of await
ing the decision of the Paris council.
He said:
There are not enough soldiers now
to garrison all the posts. There is
need of 100000 soldiers for that pur-
pose. L do not know what the inten-
ton of the war department is. 1t may
be that the soldiers are being held in
the event of trouble occurring in the
Philippines, Cuba or Puerto Rico.
Everything is in allegiance now. 1 have
no definite knowledge of what the war
department intends, but it is certainly
safe TO hold a large number of soldiers
in readiness
Concerning the controversy between
General Miles and the war department,
he said:
u have no statement whatever to
make l have nothing whatever to
complain about. I did my duty as 1
thought best, and tried to do it faith
fully for the best interests of all. 1t

Deliberately Murdered Her Mother
While She Slept.
SHOT HER THREE TIMES
THEN FIRED FOUR BULLETS
INTO HER OWN BODY.
Literally Blew Her Brains Out, But
Survived Several Hours-Said She
Wanted to Die and Did Not Want
Her Mother to Fret Over Her
Death.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. Bertha Beilstein
killed her mother today and later put
four bullets into her own body, from the
effects of which she cannot recover The
only explanation the girl has given for
her terrible deed were these words:
Il was tired of life. 1t held no pleasure
for me. 1 wanted to die and did not want
my mother to live and fret over my death.
For that reason | killed her."
The crime, which was committed some
time in the early morning, was not us
covered until late in the DAY, when son
of the murdered woman came TO the
house and found the murdered woman
body in her room, cold in death. The
room was covered with blood and there
was every indication that death had re-
suited some hours before.
In an adjoining room was found the
body Of the murdereSS, lying in pool OIL
blood, and in her right hand was clutched
a revolver.
Mrs. Beilstein had been shot three
times One shot had entered at the right
side of the nose and taken a downward
course through the neck and had cut the
seventh cerVlcle Vertebrae. Another Shot
had entered the right breast and the
third had passed through the right grOln-
A bullet had torn its way through the
young woman's right temple and had
passed out at the top of the head. FROM
both the entrance and the exit OF the
wound the brains were ooZing. Another
bullet had entered her left breast near
the heart and she had also shot herself
twice in the stomach. The physicians
said death was a question of only short
time.
To one of her brothers, during a period
of consciousness, the girl told of the
shooting of her mother. She said she
went into the room with the revolver in
her hand. She had decided to kill her
self, and knowing what the shock to
her mother would be- concluded that
death to her would be preferable to suf-
fering on earth. Her mother, she said,
was sleeping when she went into the
room. She placed the revolver close to
her breast and nred. On the report of
the pistol, her motner sat up in bed and
said to her:
Birdie what are you doing?"
The answer was another shot, which,
she says was fired at her mothers face.
This was evidently the shot which en-
tered Mrs. Beilstein's face and. resulted
in her instant death One more wound
was inflicted afterward.
Frederick Beilstein, the father, was one
of the best known residents of Allegheny,
He died suddenly in December last from
apoplexy. Since then, Birdie. who was
20 years old, has been depressed, and it is
believed she was temporarily insane.
