Police Court Chronicle

Friendship is all right if it isn't mixed
with too much liquid.
Thomas Gallagher, of Bristol, can attest
to this. Tom formerly lived in Richmond.
He returned there to greet his old friends
and tell them about his prosperity as n
farmer. Gallagher had no sooner struck
the neighborhood of Front and Clearfield
streets than he was surrounded by many
of his old crones.
Somehow or other-Tom couldn't explain
it-he found himself leaning frequently
against mahogany bars and staring at
what he thought was himself in n big mir
ror This period of happiness lasted for
several hours. Then Gallagher realized that
he was sitting in the middle of car
track; also that his friends and his money
We're gone. A policeman piloted him to the
Belgrade and Clearfed streets station.
There Gallagher came face to face with
Magistrate Deitz.
TITS too bad" the Judge declared, that
you cannot return and meet your friends
without getting drunk and spending all
your money. You can see that it doesn't
pay. Your friends and your money have
gone"
'Yes, guess there's nothing to It," said
Tom.
where will you go If discharge you?"
asked the Judge.
Straight to Bristol" replied the prls-
oner, with an air of determination

GIRL ENDS HER LIFE

17-Year-Old Cashier Shoots Her

With Youth

Half an hour after seventeen-year-old
Lenora Miller bid seventeen-year-old Miller
Neegcr good night she shot herself in the
left breast with her brothers revolver at
her home, 6510 Kingsessing avenue, dying
early today at the University Hospital with
out regaining consciousness. 1t was n low
ers quarrel
The girl attended n Christian Endeavor
Society meeting at the Woodland Avenue
United Presbyterian Church last night with
young Neeger, who lives at 8606 Woodland
avenue on the way home, according to
Ncegers story, they quarreled, and at her
door the girl returned ring which he had
given her to wear.
Half an hour Mter the Miller family was
startled by the report of revolver The
police of the Sxty-ffth street and Wood
land avenue station were summoned and
the girl was hurried to the hospital. She
died without making n statement to De-
tectives Prlnz and Quiglcy, who were put
on the case. Miss Miller was depart
mcnt store cashier.
Imaginary parties and imaginary admir-
ers, which the girl invented TO arouse
Neeger's jealousy and retain his affections,
are believed to have been responsible for
the quarrel that ended in the shooting.
II cannot believe that my daughter shot
herself Intentionally, said Mrs. Margaret
Miller, the girls mother. "She always was
full of life. She must have picked UP the
revolver impulsively without real inten-
tion to kill herself They had quarreled
before. and | see no reason why this dis
