ant weather prevails this morning east

GIRL MURDERESS BEHEADEO.
Had Confused to Killing Her Lover
and Making Forged Will.
FREIBERG, Inxony, July 22.——(‘.rete
Heier, the eighteen-yearold daughter
of the mayor of Freiberg. was behead-
ed last night some time between dark
and dawn. in punishment for the mur~
der of the man to whom she was en-
gaged to be married.
The executioner, as usual. was an
anonlmous person. who was sent down
here from Dresden on the announce-
ment that the king of Saxony had re
fused to pardon Grete lieier for her
crime.
This Younggirl's carefully planned
murder of her fiance attracted inter
national attention. She was seem-
ingly a happy and fun-loving girl. The
social position of her family was very
good, and she became engaged to Herr
Preffler, a rich young professional
man. At her trial it was brought out
and she admitted with the utmost
simplicity, that she visited her fiance's
house one evening, gave him cyanide
of potassium in a drink she mixed for
him, and then, to make sure of his
‘death, she shot him in the mouth with
his own revolver. She then dropped
the weapon at the dead man’s side
placed a forged will in her own. favor
on his desk together with a note of
good- -,bye also forged, saying that he
feared to lose her love through the rev
elation of a dishonorable liaison.
These forgerles were so skilfuly done
that they successfuly deceived the po-
lice and coroner. Greta fell under sus-
picion about a after the crime
through a love let r that she wrote
to an unworthy man hinting at what
she had done. This letter was found
on» this man's person when he was an
rested for amisdemeauor.

Cannot be Learned How Much Water
Will Flow In.
People are wondering today what
effect the rain of last night had upon
the City of Norwalk reservoirs, but
it cannot be told as yet how much they
will be raised.
Although the fall was heavy. the
parched condition :of the ground will
soak up a large portion of it. If an
other rain would only strike this vi-
cinity within a few days, it would prob-
ably an the reservoirs nearly full.
The rain extended up through New
York state where part of the water
shed is located, and it: will take some
time for al the water to get to the
Grupe reservoir.
No official report has been made to-

REAL RAIN AT LAST.
Unsuspecting Public Caught
Heavy Deluge Last Night.
The heavens opened 1111 last night
and poured fourth rain in greater
quantity than has fallen before in
months. Such a rainfall in winter, with
port to the government on weather
conditions in this vicinity, states that
his observation npparutds recorded
three and one-half inches of rain as
having fallen during the night.
For weeks prayers have been offered
ed for rain in the churches, showing
that the drought wan considered a
serious one. The (‘ity of South Nor
