KILLS HER FOR SLUR ON GABY

—7* New York Man Infatuated With Dancer Stabs His Woman Companion for Remark. New York.—From the first time that William Twist of the Bronx saw Gaby AJeslys dance on the stage he was so sjtuck with her beauty and grace that he became infauated with her. Although he was not personally acquainted with the dancer, Twist so revered her name that when Miss Louise White maos a disparaging remark about the music hall performer he drew a knife and stabbed Miss White to death, inflicting twelve wounds as he attacked the woman in a hallway. Then Twist gave himself up to Police Sergeant John T. tyeade, who found the slayer stafidihg near the body in the hallway of the home of Miss White. “It was this way,” said White. “I saw Gaby Deslys dancing and I waa

willing to marry her —I loved her so much—and so, when I met this woman cn the street and took her home and she made some remarks about the woman I loved, I became so angry that I took out my knife and stabbed her. Now, that’s about all there is to It”
