turned the key, and, disregarding her
protestations to be let out, he went
to Miss Reynolds room. Their voices,
the mans threatening and the woman S
pleading, We're heard by the wife in the
bathroom.
She sprang to telephone which ran
from the bathroom to the Office of the
apartment house and told maid who
answered her ring to hurry to the
apartment and release her The maid
entered the apartment too late to save
Miss Reynolds life. AS she opened
the door she heard Nosser saying to
the woman: There is no use for you
and me to live any longer. The best
thing can do Is to kill you and kill
myself"
Nosser then shot Miss Reynolds in
the temple and himself in the fore
head. Both died almost instantly,
Miss Reynolds stage name was
Estelle Young. Nosser was 40 years
of age and Miss Reynolds about 25.
