The only explanation the girl has
given for her terrible deed was in these
words: 81 was tired of life; it held no

did not want my mother to live and fret
over my death. For that reason 1 killed

The crime, which was committed

day. when a son of the murdered
woman came to the house and found
the mothers body in her room cold in
death. The bed was covered with blood
and there was every indication that
death had ensued some hours before
In an adjoining room was found the
body of the murderess, lying in a pool
of 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. taken a downward
course through the neck and had cut
the seventh cervicle vertebrae. Another
shot had entered the right breast and
the third had passed through the right
groin.
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 exit of the
wound the brains were oozing. Another
bullet had entered her left breast near
the heart and she had shot herself twice
in the stomach. Her death is a ques-
ton of only a short time.

sleeping when she went into the room.
She placed the revolver close to her

pistol her mother 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 entered Mrs. Beilstein's brain
and resulted in her instant death. One
more wound was inflicted afterward-
