Pair Are Found Sitting in Buggy With Bullet Holes in Temples, the Wom­ an Holding a Bible in Her Clasped H»nd- 1 r ' • - •. ' • V lh"r" j"" 'S -I Detroit, MiC^., ^Ispat^i"1 Tne dead bodies of a man and a women, the for­ mer young and unusually handsome, the latter wife of a well-known sport­ ing man, were discovered by police­ men in a light top buggy, to which was attached a horse wandering aim­ lessly down the principal street of Wyandotte, a suburb of this city. In her right hand the woman clasped an open Bible. „ Bullet wounds in the head had end­ ed the life of both, and the authori­ ties say it is plain case of jnu-rder and suicide. It is presumed that the young man was angered because the woman had refused to continue the re­ lations existing bet^ree.n them, and be­ lieve it possible that they had en­ tered Into a compact of self-destruc­ tion. . j Husband Delivers Uutlmatum. The principals in the tragedy are Mrs. William Miller, aged 23, wife of the steward of the Detroit Wheelmen, and Henry Hillebrand, a boy of 20. * It is said that the relationship of the two had been long known* to the woman's husband, and that he had said that it must cease or she must leave his home. It was to carry out the provisions of the ultimatum, it is said, that she arranged a farewell meeting with Hillebrand, acquainting him with the condition of affairs, and declaring that she would see him no more. To fortify herself In the right­ eous intention, it is supposed, she brought with her the Bible. Nothing is definitely known. No one heard the shots, and when two police­ men stopped the horse and looked into' the buggy the bo'dies were quite cold. Black Hole in Each Temple. Both were sitting upright. There was a black hole in the right temple of the woman. By her side was Hille­ brand, also with a hole in his tem­ ple. Only two shots were fired. Letters were found in which the wife confessed to her husband a love for the boy. One was found on Hille­ brand, written to him by the woman when he was in Chicago recently, warning him to be careful, as her hus­ band h&d threatened to shoot him should' he return to Detroit. Mrs. Miller had been married but eighteen months. Miller declares it is his belief that she had refused to elope with Hillebrand, which caused him to kill her and commir suicide. He says the boy had threatened to take her life once when she refused to accompany him to Chicago. NEW WATERWORKS FOR MUNCIE Council Negotiating for a System That Wilt Be Cheaper.
