Stamford. Conn, May 26.-Angered
because Miss Hazel Winkins, aged 28
had spurned his offer of marriage, Jo-
seph Hennesik. As years old, entered
night and shot her to death and tben
killed himself.
Carefully Planned Deed.
Three bullets in Miss Wilkins head
caused instant death. He died from
a bullet IN his brain. Hennesik, who
came here in March from New York,
had evidently made careful prepara-
tions for his deed. He left three notes
telling of his contemplated action.
| One, addressed to Miss Wilkins, said
| "As we cannot be happy in this world,
we Will be happy in another" The
other, to his larNther, Frank, IN New
York, requested him to see that they
buried them together.
| The third note, which was signed by
Hennesik and Hazel" was in effect
! that they were lovers, and, as they
| could not be happy, they had decided
| to take means to be happy. The po-
| lice believe that Henuesik signed the
woman's name to this note.
Dressmaker Witnessed Tragedy.
Mrs. Corin NIathers a dressmaker,
who lived in the same apartments
with Miss Wilkins, witnessed the lat
ter part of the tragedy. She told
| the police tonight that Miss Wilkins
| did not welcome HenneSilIs attentions
| and on Saturday had requested him
| not to see her any more. Hennesik
| also lived in the same block. which
was rented by Miss Wilkins and she
asked him to leave.
Saw Hennesik Shoot Himself.
Today Hennesik packed all his be-
| lOngings in a trunk and wrote the
notes. He told Mrs. Mathers he was
going to leave and asked if he might
| She told him that she was not feel
| see him at the door for a moment
| Soon afterwards, Mrs Mathers heard
| a scream and the sound of revolver
| shots. She rushed to Miss Wilkins
| room in time to see Hennesik shoot
| ing himself.
Henneslz was employed at a local
store and Miss Wilkins worked at a
| candy shop. Little is known of eth
er party here. Coroner PheIan of
| Bridgeport will conduct an inquest to-
| morrow.
Woman Had Been Served With Divorce
Papers.
| An examination of the woman's be-
| lOngings disclosed that she was mar
| ried and that divorce papers had been
served on her last Saturday at the in
| stance of her husband, Howard B.
