POTOGRAPH WHICH COST TWO LOVERS THEIR LIVES.
Budapest, April 6. A remarkable love tragedy occurred at Serenja yesterday as the sequel of a snapshot. Peter Begesh, a military inspector, had been out in the country taking photographs, and on his return called on his fiancee, and gleefully told her he had discovered another romance in the village. He had seen a friend of his walking with his arm around the waist of a girl, and had snapshotted them as they went by. He explained that he did not identify the girl, but that when he had developed the plate he would send it to her. His fiancee asked him to destroy the plate, as it might cause trouble, but Begesh replied that he could not miss such an excellent joke, and went home. Eater in the day he rushed back with a revolver in one hand a photograph in the other. Before his fiancee could say a word, he shot her through the heart. He then turned the weapon against himself and committed suicide.
The photograph showed that his fiancee had taken advantage of his absence in the country to go out with a male friend.
