MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Terrible Tragedy In Disorderly
House In Detroit.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 17.-Unrequited
love and jealousy appear to have fur
nished motive for a bloody murder
and attempted suicide at Belle Miller's'
disorderly house, 1902 Gratiot avenue,
about noon Monday.
Agnes Mooney, an inmate OF the
house, now occupies slab at Maney's
morgue with bullet through her
brain, and Edward Knapman, her
would-be lover, is at st. Mary's hos
pital with bullet hole clear through
his left breast, about two inches above
his heart, with about one chance in q
thousand Of recovering.
The general belief is that Knapman
first killed the girl and then crawled
into bed and shot himself, throwing
the revolver out on the floor, where
it was found by the officers. Knapman
must have covered himself up with the
bedclothes after shooting himself, as
the blankets or spreads did not con-
tain the bullet hole.
