Man, 25, Killed Girl, 12, and Himself
Maddened by the unrequited love OF
a twelve-year-old girl, Michael Martin
twenty-five years old, shot and killed
Anna Rockies, pretty little schoolgirl
and then shot himself in Scranton, Pa.
Martin had been boarding at the
Rockies home for the last year. His at
tentions to the girl aroused the suspi.
cions of the parents, and they ordered
! him to leave.
Making his plans of murder with de-
liberation and GOODNESS. Martin car
ried them into effect in every detail.
Enticing the girl into his room on the
second floor of the home, while a gil
friend was in the hall, and her mother,
sisters and brothers were on the
ground floor, the enraged and disap-
pointed lover clutched her in one arm
and, drawing a revolver from his
pocket with the other, fired at her
point blank
The girl put up one hand to pro- ect
herself, and the first bullet pierced
the palm. Another struggle ensued
and Martin finally placed the revolver
to her temple and fired. The little vic
tim sank down on the bed, uncon-
scious. Martin then turned the gun ON
himself
Members of the family, hearing the
shots, rushed to the room. Martin has
already breathed his last and the girl
was unconscious. She died one hour
later at the State hospital
