GIRL'S SLAYER A SUICIDE

Nathan Schwartz Takes Father’s Advice and Kills Himself by Inhaling Gas. Ne v York, July 19,—Tortured by the remnant of a conscience in his disordered mind and carrying out the injunction given him by a broken-heart-ed father, Nathan Schwartz, the youthful murderer of little Julia Connors, ended his existence in a Chrystie street lodging house fly inhaling gas. Here on the fourth floor of the rooming house, within a stone’s throw of Sj police station and in the congested East side tenement section, teeming at all hburs of the day and night with people, the murderer successfully came and went for ten days until, overcome by remorse, he closed the door and window of his room, turned on the gas and reclining pn a bed littered with newspapers offering rewards for his capture, ended it all. Written in lead pencil on the youth’s collar were the words: ‘‘l am guilty and insane. I Was sorry the minute after I did it. So don’t cry for me.”
