Dear WRG:

Items from the Boston Journal of July 10, 1884.

CRIMES AND CASULTIES

A Tragic Affair

Austin, IL, July 8. This afternoon Henry Summers and May Whitney, young
people who have been keeping company, were found lying on the sidewalk
with bullet holes in their heads. The girl has remianed unconscious ever
since they were found. Summers says the girl shot him and then herself.
The pistol with which the shooting was done is Summer's, and there are
suspicions that he committed the deed, which is supposed to have been the
result of a lovers' quarrel. Summers may recover.
