ALL IN LOVE WITH ONE GIRL.
Three youths entered a cafe in Vienna one * night last month, seated themselves in a secluded corner, and ordered tea. Soon after the Hull noise of falling bodies was heard above the din of the billiards playing and conversation in the cafe. A waiter hastened to see what had happened and found all three lying on the floor, evidently in the throes of death. Assistance was called, and it was discovered that the youths had taken poison with fatal results. » The father of on© of the youths, named, Adolf Turns, went to the cafe and identified bis son, but the identity of tho others was only established next day by means of an envelope found on one of them. It was addressed to a girl and contained a photograph of all three youths taken together. . . The girl, who is a more child, to whom they were all ardently attached, was asked by the police to go to the room where the bodies lay. She appeared little affected, and said the youths had all threatened to commit suicide on her account and to send her their triple portrait in the hour of death.
