MD KILLS1 HERSELF
NEW i YORK, March 29. After sending inner card and
then calmly waiting in an; ante room for an interview, 26-year-old
Helen Ziegler of Riverside Drive today entered the
private office of Frederick W. Burnhanv wealthy contractor,
shot him with a double-barreled pistol and then killed herself
with the weapon. .
Burnham, 44 years old; and a member of "a fashionable
suburban colony at Dobbs Ferry, was rushed to Bellevue hos
pital, where it was said, he was dying. . u. . .
, The shooting took place in his suite of offices on the sec
ond floor of the Grand Central terminal building.
The body of Miss Zeigler, prostrate and with the two
barreled 45-calibre pistol still clutched in her right hand was
discovered in Burnham's private office 15 minutes after those
outside had heard voices raised as if in violent argument, had
heard two shots rapidly fired and then unbroken silence.
She was on the floor. A bullet had torn through her
brain: In a far corner of the room was Burnham clinging to
a window i ledge, gasping and rumpling his hair j Blood
streamed from a wound in the left side of his head.
As those from without rushed toward him calling him
by name, he pitched to the floor almost over the body of the
young woman.
The young woman's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Lee Zegler
were told of the shooting by a patrolman 'who accompanied
them in a taxicab to the morgue. .They, declined to talk with
reporters but tfie superintendent of the fashionable apart
ment building said the young woman was not employed and
stayed at home-with her mother. .
' Burnham's home, River View Manor, was one of the
show places of Dobb's Ferry. He and his wife were active
in social circles and were members of the most exclusive clubs
in the community, including the Ardsley club and the River
View. Manor association.

The first' legal skirmish n the

close of today's - hearing.
Dorothy Armstrong, well known
young dancer who was a- close
friend of Miss I Mann, had just
been " called to the stand by the
prosecution and had been asked
some Questions about Miss Mann
and Dr. Jacobs. She told of
seeing . the two together in the
lobby of a local hotel not long
before Miss Mann's body was
found on a nearby beach.
"What did Dr. Jacobs say to
her?" asked District Attorney
Kempley. -
Attorney Paul Scbenck of the

the girl had been murdered and
that v until that proof had : been

by a cigar or cigarette butt thrown on the floor by one of the
men before retiring.
