DEATH ON WEDDING EVE. NEW YORK. Dec. 8. An East Lansing (Michigan) message states that Miss Elizabeth Giltner, aged 25, daughter of the dean of the Statu College, was shot dead at her home while addressing invitations to her wedding to Captain Babcock, which was to have been held on Saturday. Her closest friend, Hope Morgan, aged 25, according to the, police, confessed and blamed an impulse. She said: “I don’t know why I did it.” Both are socially prominent. A medical examiner announced that Mrs Morgan was suffering from dementia after she had admitted carrying her father’s pistol for a year under an inward urge to kill someone. The Sanity Commission will be named to dispose of the case.
