which some one else had iviii her,

(Complaint at police head pinrtcrs
of the occurrence. The police have
been on the lookout for Fost for the
last three or four days, but could
not lay their hands on him.
Sunday iiij;'ht he went to room 10
in the Anderson block, which was
occupied by his mistress, and re.
mained several hours. Early yes
terday morning he goi up and left
the building, but returned in
short time. A discussion of the
watch deal came up and trouble
followed. In order to enri the mat
ter riht there the waiter drew a re
volver and said that they would die
together.
As this remark was made the trl
jumped from the bed and started
for the south window, which opens
out into a small court. When
within a few feet of the window a
shot wits fired and the bullet passed
clear through her abdomen and
dropped onto the floor; another
followed ind' lodged in her breast.
Then Fost pointed the weapon at
his own heart and pulled the trig
ger. The bullet struck about three
inches below the left nipple and
lodged in the body. As the would
be murderer fell to the floor the
woman, who was still able to stand,
reached the door and rushed down
the hall scraming at the top of her
voice.
The shots attracted the attention
of the inmates of the block and a
call was sent for policemen and
doctors. In the meantime the
dying girl was placed on a bed in
another room and lier lover was
picked up "h the floor and laid on
the bed in the room where the
crime was committed.
Laura Day was tpiite a pretty girl
and lived part of the time with her
stepfather, a man named Kelly, at
3470 Lake street. Notwithstanding
the fact that the girl hail a comlor
table home she spent most of her
time leading a fast life and nearly
every night occupied a room Jin the
Anderson block with her lover
Fost was a regular hasher and was
under the constant espionage of
the police.
Laura Day occupied a cot in
ward No. 1 and was resting com
fortably. The young woman wa:
pist recovering irom the last dost
of morphine and was able to talk
for a moment. She said that Fost
was je dous because Frank Light
foot, who lives at lv) St Marys
avenue, had given her a watch, and
admitted that Lightfoot was her
"other" lover. Then she told about
the shooting, and her tale w is .sub
