Kills Girl
In Home

PITTSBURGH, PA, Jan 14.-The
appearance OF rival who met with
favor in the eyes of his sweetheart is
said to be the cause of tragedy in
the home of Thomas Garrison, 172
Main Street, Sharpsburg, when George
Pritchard, 603 Leonora Street, killed
Miss Fairy Walker, pretty 23-year-old
girl, and shot himself, almost fatally.
The tragedy occurred in the home
of the brother-in-law of the slain girl.
According to Garrison, the two had
been sweethearts for some time, but
the girls affections began to uane
upon the appearance OF another man.
The affair assumed serious proportions
last Saturday, and the two quarrelled
continuously. While the rest of the
members OF the family were absent,
Pritchard seized a revolver. killing the
girl. and then turning the gun on him
self. Latest reports are to the effect
that he may not recover.
