PASSIONATE LIFTMAN.
AMAZING LOVE TRAGEDY. HOTEL MAID MURDERED. Australian and Itf.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 9 p.m.) BUDAPEST, Feb. 8. An amazing love tragedy occurred in the elevator of the fashionable Ritz Hotel.: Kiraly, the lift attendant, fell madly in love with Elizabeth Adam, a pretty chambermaid, 20 years of age. When she entered the lift Kiraly kept her prisoner, v/hile he passionately pressed his suit. The girl was frightened when Kiraly refused to stop. Finally, maddened by the girl's refusals, Kiraly stabbed her to the heart. He then took the lift to the top floor and cut the arteries of his own wrists. The girl died a few hours later. Kiraly was rescued from bleeding to death. He is, however, in a critical condition, and is not expected to recover.
