MURDERS HIS BRIDE-ELECT.
Man About to Marry Her Shoots Her
Down in Cold Blood.

Comfort, Tex.-Attired in her we'd
ding dress and with bHdal flowers
in her hands, Miss Ernestine Kutzer
was shot through the heart in her
home here by Joseph Reinhardt. the
man who was to lead her to the altar.
Many of the wedding guests saw the
murder, and before one Of them could
interfere Renhard had shot himself
twice in the body.
The two families are among the
wealthiest and most prominent in the
county. Not the slightest light has
been thrown on the mystery Of the
tragedy. 1t was believed that there
was a true romance between the young
couple. Miss Kutzer possessed a sub
stantial. fortune in her own right, and
Reinhsrdt himself was wealthy. No
sign of insanity was ever seen in him,
and a few minutes before the shooting
he was apparently the merriest IN the
whole gathering.
