Tried to Kill Another and Shot Him
self in a Crowded street.

BOSTON. June 24.-Richard Friedman
shot and killed his sister Rosa, aged twen-
ty-one. attempted TO kill his sister Helen.
aged seventeen, and then shot and killed
himself on a crowded West End thorough
fare here to-day. Miss Helen was not hit
by the bullet intended for her. but just as
the pistol was discharged she fell fainting
TO the sidewalk IT was at first thought
that she. too, had been killed, and the
brother apparently believed that his bullet
had found the mark. for it was not until
both sisters were PROSTATE that he turned
the pistol toward his own body. He aimed
at his heart, but the first shot missed a
vital spot. The second, however, reached
the heart and caused death. Friedman was
twenty-five years of age and had just fin
ished a course at Harvard Dental College.
Insanity, caused by overstudy and illness,
is declared to have caused his action.
