Appsar- anoe* and an xmuunuvu cf the Dodiea lead to the conclusion that tbe note wan written before reaching tbe fatal eoeue, and that after a final leave-taking be tired tbe pistol iu ber motti, thus killing ber, placed the weapon to bin temple, and again pulling tbe trigger, fell olot-e betide her. Beyond tbe names on the bit of paper nothing fui tber ia known which might give a clue to tbeir identity. Later. Tbe lover's tragedy of yesterday, wherein Geo.

Latei developments reveal the fact that Uoal- stccb waa a young < flicer in tbe German army vieiting America on a year'* leave of abkeuoe.
