SUICIDE OF THREE BOYS.

ALL IN LOVE WITH ONE GIRL,

Three youths entered a cafe in Vienna the other night, seated themselves in a secluded corner, and ordered tea. Soon after the dull 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 one of the youths, named Adolf Tuma, went to the cafe and identified his son, but the identity of the others was only established" by fneans 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 mere 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 that the youths had all threatened to commit suicide on her account and to send her their triple portrait in the hour of death.
