Youth of Ordinary Appear
ance Enacts the Role of
Wholesale Heart-Breaker
Special Dispatch to The Call.


MARION, Ind, July 22.-Six months
ago Miss Cora Bowser killed herself be-
cause her lover, Ross Stevens. paid too
much attention to Miss Bertha Ellison.
To-day Miss Ellison ended her life be-
cause Stevens was paying too much at
tention to other girls. Between the two
suicides there are these remarkable
parallels:
Both girls killed themselves for the
same man.
Both lived in the same house.
Both were engaged to the same man.
Both took morphine.
Each told a friend that she had de-
ctded that Stevens loved somebody else.
Each said she had nothing to live for.
That two young women should Kill
themselves in six months in fits Of Jeal-
ousy over one man is considered re-
markable, especially as the man in this
case is an ordinary appearing young
fellow. Both young women were highly
respected. Miss Bowser was 10 years
old and Miss Ellison was 20.
After the death Of Miss Bowser 1T was
said that Stevens and Miss Ellison
were engaged. The couple attended
the races this afternoon and had vio-
lent quarrel because Stevens was at
tentive to other girls. Immediately
after returning home Miss Ellison went
to her room and she was found an hour
later unconscious, dying at o'clock
She told a friend that she and Stevens
had quarreled and she had nothing to
live for.

Elias, who shot William Katzenstein,
a Tucson policeman, two years ago,
must die on the gallows next Tuesday

oner is insane and under the laws of

anime the condemned murderer; but
Judge Davis, who presides at Tucson,
is spending his vacation at Los An
geles and no such action will be taken.
A death watch has been set over
Elias and the scaffold is under con-
struction in the Jail yard at Tucson,
