HIS LOVE WAS DEATH
TaIemini Snapped Her Life
and His Own Because She
Would Not Wed.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Early this morning
the dead bodies of Harriet Elizabeth
Weber and Innocent Talemini, a marble
cutter, were found on Lexington Avenue
just south of 54th street. Both had been
shot twice, and while there are indications
that the man shot the woman and then
killed himself there are other features to
the case that make it somewhat mystic
rious. Arthur M. Laurie, with whom the
dead woman had made her home, will be
held by the police until after the inquest.
There is no evidence connecting him with
the shooting, but he is detained as a wit
ness.
The body of the woman was identified
as that of Mrs. Laurie" but when Laurie
was brought to the police station he said
that she was not his wife and that he
did not know whose body was found with
hers.
Tonight in going through the effects of
Miss Weber an envelope was found adj
dressed evidently in the handwriting of
man Innocent Talemini In seeking
Talemini to FIND what he knew of the wo-
mans shooting the officers identified the
dead man as Talemini himself. No cause
is known why Talemin should have shot
the woman, but she had told several of
her friends the day before of Jew who
had been following her and of whom she
was afraid Talemini has a Hebraic coun-
tenance and it is the general theory that
be shot her because she refused to marry
him. In the mans hand was a revolver
with four chambers discharged, accounting
for tie four shots fired.

The murderer of Kelly has been in Dur
ham but short while. He claims to
have been horn in South Carolina and
to have worked in a number of cotton
mills in this State He is twenty-five
years of age.
Kelly, the deceased, has made. Durham
his home for fifteen years. He told be-
fore death that he was an uncle of Joe
Kelly, the famous ball player, and that
he has sister in Baltimore. Unless some
of his relatives are heard from he Will be
buried at the expense of the county.
The people living in the neighborhood
where the tragedy occurred declare that
more than four shots were fired, and one
bullet crashed through a window.
These facts have led the police to believe
that there may have been a third party
to the shooting. The Weber woman is a
native of Detroit, Mich.
