The story of one woman's remarkable
infatuation for another. and a resultant
tragedy, comes from Allentown, Pa. Mrs
Hitchings was so deeply in love with
Mrs. Keck that she followed her every.
where she went. Mrs. Keck became
tired of the other woman's attentions
and tried to break off the intimacy. Mrs.
Hitchings, who is wealthy. tried by
every means possible TO induce Mrs.
keck to return to her. and finally in des-
peration shot Mrs Keck to death. The
only motive for the crime was love and
jealousy as in the famous Freda Ward
case.
