Aug. 29, 1901. 05:24 AM

Local man killed a young girl before killing himself recently, in a small home south of Paris. Neither have been identified to the press as of yet. Police reports say that the man attacked the woman when she came to his house, having hid behind the door with a pan. He continued from there to bludgion her before taking all the pills in his house, and downing it with Abstinthe. The motive is of yet unknown.
Police did not find either of the bodies till two weeks after the incident, when a friend heard the silence and began to worry about the man. He called the police when the door would not open and rancid smells leaked into the hallway.
The building has been closed down for cleaning this week.
Police have made no arrests, and no court date is set.
