PARIS. May 4. (#»)— Mystery
shrouds the discovery of the bodies
of Julian Meriditli. formerly of Buf
falo, and Miss Marion Roberts, of
Chicago, in an automobile in the
outskirts of a Paris suberb. Each
body bore mortal bullet wounds in
the head and the man still clasped a
revolver.
Police first believed it was a sui
cide pact, as Meredith has for a
long time been almost penniless and
the girl was suffering from a long
illness, but the coroner’s doctor, aft°r
an examination, gave it as his opin
ion that Meredith attempted to as
sault the crirl in the automobile, and
maddened bv her resistance, had
shot her dead, afterwards killing
himself.
Both were University music stu
dents and the girl had but recently
reurned from Chicago, where she is
popular and well known as a pian
ist. She was engaged to Meredith
and the weddiug was to have taken
place in the fall.
