GIRL ATTEMPTS TO MURDER PHYSICIAN CHICAGO, Sept. 13 (United Press). A psychopathic examination was made today of Miss Rosalie O'Reilly, pretty 21 year old graduate of the University of Chicago, who last night attempted to kill Dr. Alexander C. Weiner, 62, staff physiciau at the West Shore Hospital.
Miss O'Reilly said she wanted to avenge the death of her mother, who was treated by the physician. Dr. Wiener was seated in his office when the girl walked in, pointed a revolver at him and pulled the trigger twice. The weapon failed to go off and the girl fled, but was captured by Dr. Wiener after a short chase.
"I meant to torture him," Miss O'Reilly told police. Miss O'Reilly is librarian at a public library branch here. Democrats elected the sheriff in Aroostook county, Maine, which, of course, proves that the result was a mighty triumph for Davis and Bryan. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Born to Mr. and Mrs.
