Girl and Then Himself.
QUIT ANSWERING HIS LETTERS
At Waverly, N. v, Nina Lawrence,
Though Gravely Wounded, Feels
Sorry For Boy Who Tried to Kill
Her-Parents of Lewis Take
His Body Home to Detroit.

Waverly, n. Y, Jan. "a seventeen
year-old boy shot a girl of his own age
with whom he was in love and then
blew his braips out In front of the
First Presbyterian church here. The
girl, who WAS shot in the throat, il
lying in serious condition in her
home on Chemung street.
Young Barrett Lewis, who did the
shooting, was visiting his grandmoth-
er. who lives here. The Lewis family
comes from Detroit. He met Nina
Lawrence, who is one of the leaders
among the young people here last sum
mer. Barrett fell in love with the girl.
and they started a correspondence.
After a few months, however, her let,
Cers became less frequent, and, al
though Barrett kept up his end, the
answers from the girl finally ceased.
Then Barrett came on from Detroit.
and at a dance here a few nights ago
he saw Miss Lawrence again. He had
taken another girl to the dance, but at
the sight of Miss Lawrence he forgot
all about his partner.
He monopolized her dance card and
when he went back to his grandmoth-
ers home did nothing but talk about
the girl. Barrett was to have gone
home on New Years eve, but he plead
ed with his grandmother for another
day at Waverly, and she arranged it
for him.
Nina Lawrence and a girl friend
started to a meeting at the Presbyte-
rian church, but when they reached
the door Miss Lawrence told her friend
that her head ached and suggested
walk.
AS they turned they met Lewis. He
was very nervous and pale and asked
Miss Lawrence if she would walk with
him alone for minute. She said aft
erward that they walked around the
block, and when they came in the
shadows of the church again he turned
and asked her if she cared anything
for him. She told him that she did not
and never could. Then, according to
the girl, the boy clapped a hand to his
pocket and said. I'm going to kill
you"
The girl said that the boy had fired
point blank at her four times. She
had dropped at the first shot, and the
other bullets had gone over her. The
first shot had struck her In the cheek
and lodged somewhere in the back of
the throat. Barrett shot himself
through the head. He was taken to
his grandmothers home and there died
Surgeons worked over the girl. but
were unable to locate the bullet. They
think that she may recover. At no
time has she manifested anything but
curiosity about the motives that led
Lewis to shoot her, and several times
she has told the doctors that she felt
sorry for the boy.
Lewis father and mother came from
Detroit to take away the body of their
boy. who was an only son.

at Delhi.
London. Jan. 2.-More light was shed
on the conduct of the gaekwar of Ba-
roda at the recent durbar at Delhi
when the king emperor took formal
possession Of his Indian empire. As
recent dispatches have told. the In
dian ruler, who ranks as one of the
foremost of Indian chiefs, actually
snubbed the king and queen when it
came time for his recognition of the
rulership. The gaekwar is noted for
his unconventional doings; also he fig
ured week or so ago in a divorce
suit.
The latest advices received state that
the Indian ruler was dressed in plain
white, more unceremonious than but
Ter. Instead of bowling deeply three
times in a backward movement from
the throne, the gaekwar gave a curt
nod to their majesties and turned his
back to them.
A previous dispatch stated that the
Indian ruler was made to apologize for
his conduct.
