Mise Alvord was shot In the neck and wrist, but was not fatally hurt Miss Alvord drove up to the Chamber of Commerce Bullding In an automo- bile about 11 o'clock accompanied by a man, She went to the eleventh Moor and, entering the office of the life in- surance company, asked to have a pri- vate interview with Mr. Swayse She was shown Into a small private office, fronting on the State street +ide of the building, where Swayse joinod her, shutting and locking the door, In @ few moments the other persons in the office heard a struggle, tien screams, which were followed in quick Succession by several pistol shots, Hanging to Window. Manager McCall of the agency rushed against the door of the private room eartbroke it open. Miss Alvord was prostrate on the floor, her hair dishovelled, her waist torn and blood pourmg from the wounds in her neck and wrist, Through the window Mr. McCall could see Swayse's hands clutching the window ledge, ‘Dhey were in view for only a moment, ‘Then Swayse let go and his body went ‘whirling down through the alr, It hit several wires and turned over tice, striking on the face and chest, A bul- lot wound in his nose showed that he chad shot himself before taking the aw- ful plunge.

Her head and shoulders were across the ledge and she was fighting desperately. Then the couple disap- peared from the window and the shots nang out, followed by Swayse's mad plunge. A letter written by Swayse was found which, it is sald, explains the tragedy. ‘The man with whom Miss Alvord drove up to the building was J. ub. Terry, an employee of the sewing ma- ghine’ company that employs Mins Ai- vord. At Miss Alvord's boarding-house on Erskine street, it was stated that Miss Alvord and Terry had been married for several months, To Kill on Birthday.
