SHOOTS MAN BECAUSE
SHE LOVES HIM
PRETTY CALIFORNIA MILLINEK
SHOOTS ADVERTISING AGENT
AFTER SEEING HIM WITH AN.
OTHER GIRL = CLAIMS SHE
STILL LOVES HIM.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 1.(Spec-
ial.)-Miss Leah Alexander, miliiner
awaiting trial in this city on charge
OF having murdered Joseph D. Van
Baalen, an advertising agent She ad-
mits that she killed him and gives as
her reason that he violated her love.
One day last week she called on him
at his office. They were closeted to-
gether in a private room for an hour.
Then a shot was heard, and Van Baa-
len staggered through the door to the
outer office. Several spectators say
Miss Alexander calmly fire four more
shots into the body of the wounded
man, He died several hours later.
Van Baalen was married, but had
no children, and had become estrang-
ed from his wife.
Miss Alexander, who will become
mother shortly, was in hysterical
condition when interviewed at the
city prison. In reply to a query, she
said she had met Van Baalen three
years ago in Golden Gate park.
1t was a chance meeting. She was
walking with a young woman friend
and Van Baalen was riding il an auto
mobile with his wife. Something caus-
ed the car to stop and the four en-
gagged in conversation. Before Van
Baalen had left he had written his
name and address on cigarette lelf
and had managed to slip it into her
lind.
The chance meeting was the begin
ming of their acquaintance. Miss Alex
ander accompanied Van .Baalen on Il
trip east a year ago. Then, in At
lanta, she said, he threatened to xiii
her because she looked at another
ran" .
Throughout the past year the two
had been often together The woman
says she urged Van Baalen to return
to his wife, from whom he had become
estranged in the meantime, but he per-
sistently refused. Once she went so
far as to telephone the wife that her
husband was in the Alexander apart
ments. Mrs. Van Baalen, accompanied
by policeman, hurried to the place,
but just before they got there Miss Al
exander relented and Van Baalen fled
down fire escape.
"He kept telling me he would di'
vorce his wife and marry me-" SAID
MISS Alexander. Il was trying to
break the attachment, but all the time
my affection, especially during the
past few months, was growing
stronger for him. 1t famed to high
degree few nights when l saw him
in company with another young wo-
man."
Her trip to Van Baalen's office, she
says was for the purpose of reproach-
ing him for his infidelity. She de-
clares he refused to discuss matte s
with her, and asked her to leave his
Office. Then, seized with a blind pas
sion, she drew the revolver and fired,
she does not know how many times.
HE said, L believe you love me-"
sobbed Miss Alexander. Il replied, DO
you love me?' he said, Yes, but it's
all over I'm through. l quit
