SHE SHOT HER BETRAYER !
Then Pretty Bertie McConnell Attempted
to Kill Herself.
THE DEATH OF BOTH PREDICTED.
Shs Declared That Harry Thompson Had
Ruined Her Life and Determined That
He Should Die With Her-A Sad
Story of Love and Revenge.
COATKSVILLK, Pa., March 23. Ono of
tho most shocking tragedies that has over
Btlrrcd tho people of tbis place occurred on
Saturday, whan pretty Bertha McCon
nell, of this city, and barely 20 years of
ago, shot Harry Thompson, a travollng
salesman for tho Singer Sowing Machine
company,, while In a hotel In Lancaster.!
She boarded an express train aftor tho
shooting and returned to this place, whero
sho nttomptod to end hor life In tho same
'manner. . Thodoublo crlmo Is alleged . to
havo.bcqn the rosult of Thompson having
docolved and betrayod tho young woman.,'
Bqtli Miss McConnoll and hor victim aro
In a critical condltlqn, and will probably
die.
Tho young woman Is tho daughter of
John McConnell, a-well known citizen of
this place, uud was possessed of a disposi
tion nnd personality that won for her
many frlontls. It was too years ago that
Bhe met Thompson. She was tbon em
ployed In n dry goods establishment.
Thompson seemed to And favor In the
young woman's eyes ntonco, and this soon
led to a friendship that quickly rlpenod
Into lovo.
Thompson visited the young woman fre
quently. He told her his home was In
Horrlsburg, where he llvod with his
mother. In time, however, lt'wns gossiped
about that he was a married man. This
chargo ho denied. Tho young woman evi
dently had faith In her lover, for about
two months ago she loft town with him,
and It was current report that they had
married and were living quietly and hap
pily In Lancaster.
That this was not truo 'becamo known
only, last Monday, when Miss McConnell
returned to Coatesvlllo, and to.somoof her
closest frlpuds made known that sho had
beon deceived and ruined by Thompson.
Whllo here sho purchased a revolver, and
on Friday returned to Lancaster with
what now appears to be a determined ro
tolvo to nvengo herself.
She wont to their room In tho Koystone
House, and none but she and Thompson
knows what took place thero. They evi
dently quarreled, but none of tho hotel
attaches heard any shots flrod. It was not
until morning that tho discovery was
made.r Thompson was found In bed with
a bullet wound In his head and tho bod
clothing saturated. Ho was conscious and
refused to tell who shot him. When ques
tioned as to his wife's whereabouts ho re
plied that sho had gono for a doctor.
It became known soon afterwards that
Miss McConnell had left tho liotol and
camo Immediately to her homo in this city.
Sho went upstairs, and placing the re
volver against hor breast flred. The bullet
inissod hor breast, but pasted through hor
lung and lodged In tho back. Sho then
told of hor attack on Thompson. Sho said
ho'had ruined her life, and as sho had
nothing to live for she wanted him to die
before ho could bring ruin and dlsgraco on
others.
Thompson, somo tlmo after tho shoot
ing, was removed to his brothor's homo In
Lancaster. Notwithstanding ho was In
formed by his physicians nnd the magis
trate that ho was going to dlo, ho posi
tively refused to discloso tho circumstances
ot the shooting, saying that ho knew noth
ing of It. Thompson shows remarkable
norve. "If I am going to dlo," ho said to
tho magistrate, "let me1 die In pouco. I
don't want to bo bothered by you."
Thompson stubbornly rofusei to nllow
tho physicians to probo for tho bullet,
telling them his injurio aro slight and
that he .will soon "pull through." Ho has
a very ugly wound ovor his left oyo, from
which the brains slowly oozo. Tho doo
tors havo probed tho wound to a depth of
three inches without succeeding in finding
the ball.
' Policomnn Honk, of Lancastor, arrived
hero yesterday with a warrant for Miss
McConnoll's arrest, but owing to her crit
ical condition tho warrant was not served.
Thompson has a wlfo and two small
children living nt Harrisburg. Mrs.
Thompson says her husband tried to get
rid of tho girl for over a year, but that sho
followed him wherover ho wont, liertlo
called nt Thompson's homo In Lancaster,
and after his removal to Harrisburg, In a
lettqr to hlin, tho girl 'SiTorod to furnish
fOOO to got divorce from Mrs. Thompson
In ordor that ha might marry hor. Thomp
son's wlfo has been advlsod that hor hus
band will dlo.
Thompson is well known in Shenandoah,
having made quite an extensive acquaintance
while In tho town for threo weeks about two
years ago as a special agent for the Singer
