Y.. rooming with her sister, Miss Agnes, who also was employed In that city. The younger girl left her home on Wednesday evening of last week to go to the apartment of Charles Angel, 37 years old, a warm personal friend of both the girls. She knew he had been sick cand her visit was to see how he was getting along. Up te Thurs day noon she had not returned and ‘Misa Agnes and her brother Gilbert, who had arrived in Rochester the day previous, telephoned the Angel apartment. Failing to get a reply to their call they went there In person. The door was locked but after repeated knocking it was opened by Angel. One glance showed that the man was blinded by a shot inthe head while the body of the missing sister was lying on the floor, death having been caused by a shot in the head. The girl had evidently been dead some hours when the body was found. There was no evidence of any tur- moil or struggle in the roomn and unless Angel recovers sufficiently to tell the story of the shooting it will remain a mystery. Angel, a type- setter by occupation, had traveied considerably and was a man of brilliant mind and unusual conversa- tional ability. He had not been in good health for some time and brief letters written by him recentiy hint- ‘ed at either suicide or fear of an eariy death. His association with ‘the two girls had been, so far as known, one of personal friendship only, which makes the sad tragedy ‘enacted in his homey apartment dif- ficult to comprehend. Miss Rhoads was born in Belle- fonte on July 21st, 1911, hence was ‘her associates in Bellefonte. For tion she filled the position of ticket seller at the Richelieu theatre for the evening performance, and fol- lowing her graduation continued in that line of work until August, when she accompanied her sister, Miss | Agnes, and brother Gilbert to Roch- ester, N.
