AT POINT BLANK RANGE.
GIRL PUTS LOVER OUT OF AGONY. TRAGIC DRAMA IN FRENCH HOSPITAL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.—Aus. and K.Z. Cable Assn. (Received July 18, 9.15 a.m.) PARIS. July 17. Mademoiselle Unicuska assumed the right to kill her fiance in the Hospital Ville Juif because he was suffering in terrible agony from incuirable cancer. Jean Zoznowski. a Polish novelist, came to Paris for surgical treatment with Mdlle. Unicuska, and during the second operation she gave her own blood to help his recovery. The sacrifice, however, was useless, and the sick man besought the doctors to put him out of his misery. After the girl saw her lover yesterday she tearfully pleaded with the doctors to end his agony, but the doctors refused. She returned lo the hospital, leant over Zoznowski, kissed him, and then twice shot him in the head at point-blank range. She fell fainting beside the bed. Zoznowski died without regaining consciousness. The girl is now held under open arrest in the hospital.
