Angry Suitor Shoots Woman, Kills Self

ANGRY SUITOR SHOOTS WOMAN, KILLS SELF Joseph Broadway Wounds Mrs. Lydia Harris After Advances Are Rejected Angered because Mrs. Lydia Harris, 35 years old, who has a furnished room house at 512 Kaighn avenue, Camden, refused to return his affection, Joseph Broadway, 53 years old, of the same address, yesterday afternoon sent a bullet into the woman's head over the left eye. He then turned the weapon on himself, sending a bullet into his own head over the left ear. At the Cooper Hospital, where both were sent by Detective Brothers, it was stated the woman will likely recover. The disappointed admirer died shortly after his admission. For some time, it is asserted by the police, the man had been living with Mrs. Harris, although she did not give him any great encouragement. When yesterday afternoon he suggested that she marry him, she refused such an offer. Then he asked her to take a sociable drink with him. This she also refused. Then, walking toward the woman and drawing a revolver, Broadway said: "Well, we might as well leave the world together." At that he deliberately shot the woman before she could get to a place of safety and when she fell he sent a bullet into his own head. Policeman Brothers was about to board a trolley car a short distance away when he heard the shots. He went to the house and found the man and woman in the kitchen, both of whom he had taken to the hospital at once. Broadway was employed at the New York Shipbuilding Company's plant and is said to come from Chesapeake City, Md. According to the police, Mrs. Harris is separated from her husband.
