MURDER AND SUICIDE.
HERMANN STOERS KILLS HIS
WIFE WHO RETURNS
HOME TO DIE
WITH HIM
Then Shoots Himself Dies and
Leaves Behind Him Some
Remarkable and El-
oquent Explana-
tory Letters.
A most remarkable tragedy is reported
from England the details of which are as
follows:
Mr. Gavazzi W King manager of the
Leeds Daily Express some time ago made
the acquaintance of a man named Her-
man Stoers. He was an Englishman of
German descent very cranky but a man
of great menu! power and scholastic at-
tainments. Stoers had written several
works of ability mainly poems and
tragedies unsuitable for a newspaper
for which he could find no publisher and
he was tn too straightened financial cir-
cumstances to incur the responsibility of
personal publication. This evidently
PREYED WOM HIS MIND
But it was thought that the consequent
depression would pass off. He was how-
ever naturally shy modest and reserved
and therefore bis melancholia was not so
apparent as te predict the tragedy that
ended his life.
On Friday JuweMth Mr. King wassur-
prisofi to receive the following letter from
Stoers who was then rusticaticg in
Cantebury: „ .
lam dead. I shot myself on the 9th of
June here near ■Canterbury in a wood on
the west side of the town. I had been
fou- weeks in this place with my wife
who came on purpose from Germany to
die with me. I leave proofs enough be-
hind me to testify that I am no murderer
—letters in German v hich will be found
on my body and her family will also be
obliged to acknowledge that truth. We
lived under the.
SHADOW OF DEATH
happily together from the 12th of May
the day before my birthday until theSHh
<tf June the day after her birthday the
time that fate allowed. We lived joy-
fully and peacefully for we dwelt in the
same bosom of nature and separated
from the stupidity cupidity and
madness of mankind. Our pleasures were
woods birds fields and wild flowers.
The hawthorn blossom and the bluebells
were with us at ifirst then honeysuckle
and the wild rose. Music aa d song were
our occupation with merry and earnest
conversations in-«ur little lodging. We
were a. faarmouy together a tender and
sublime accord. As the mountain stream
meets his stater In the valley we united
and flowed toward the same sea—the sea
of freedom truth justice that are a
name and a nothing on earth. Never
was there a woman so noWe astny wife.
Never b»s her sex known a character so
high aodso purely human. Never was a
sweetness so softly mated with greatest
strength. We are not
DEADOF BODILY tUUST
or despair but of fate »ad conviction.
We never despaired and we died calmly.
The reason for the act will be found in
my words and her letters She under-
stood me and fived in and through me.
The only papers I have destroyed were
plans for poems and plays &c. 1 leave
what remains of me in yosir con-
sidering you as the best and fittest person
for the trust remembering your friend-
ship for myself and some admiration for
certain of the said works. Above all I
writeasan honest mao loan honest man.
—Yours ii was is friendship.
From death-to life from star to-? Car
My earth were here my-spirit far.
Suspecting ।the worst Mr. King imme-
diately wired to the Canterbury police
and search was &iade. Affer considerable
difficulty Mr. Stoers and his wife were
found dead in Cockering Wood near the
city. Their bodies lay side by side and in
the mau’e liana was a revolver. sW.e had
apparently shot his wife in rhe left side
of the he*.d and then sentaibullet<tkiough
the rightside of his brain.
ON BOTH BODIES
were wild flowers adorned with crepe.
On Stoers body being examined the
following extraordinary fetter was found:
To the Public from Hermann Steer—
So at the esid of the nineteenth century
dies in England an English poet and
genius! « Here ! lie killed by this so-call-
ed practical generation to whom gald is
more than honor and money more than
mind that studies the body and neglects
the soul that alone distinguishes the
man from the bfutte that alone should
occupy all his.care for its cultwration.and
that alone should be his pride and de-
light. Let me iuform ye oh my eountry-
men—l publish it to the world—that
genius without means or iuflueixtial
friends without worldly goods or selfish
folk Interested In promoting its welfane
perishes like a flower by the wayside
seen by few observed by none and eov-
ereC by the dust offgassing
IGNORANCE AND PERVERSION.
By <my side rests the sole being of any
kind who knew my genius and loved it
and who without it saw earth a desert
and life a continual hunger and thirst.
She Isa stranger frosu a foreign land my
countrymen. She came onthe fields of our
birthplace to die there. She came in
the spring to die In the spring In our
fruitful fields and owery fl woods. She
came and saw with joy yet died content-
ed. She died like a bride that leaves her
home and friends for and with her hus-
band. and ye have compelled me to take
this life that was loved by all who watch-
ed the blososm of a tender and noble na-
ture that hated hypocrisy and meanness
So long as I breathed like my fellows I
was denied a hearing. Perhaps your
curiosity mav be awakened by my death
and as It is the duty of genius to tell its
mission to the world although it is
wronged spat on stoned and crucified I
leave my labours behind me in the hands
of an honest man Mr. G. W. King mana-
ger of the Leeds Express who 1s some-
what acquainted with me and some of
them ana who will give them outtoyoujf
SHALLOWNESS AND STUPIDITY
stand not in the path of tinderstanding.
There were also found letters from his
wife dated from Germany which maxe
some extraordinary revelations showing
the wife expected to die. as
she had done. In one of
these letters she says ‘‘When we die I
shall belong to you. I have not much
money but I will sell my jewelry. Where
I am going I shall not want jewelry.”
Other letters indicated that they had long
contemplated dying together and in the
way they did. And It was equally clear
that she had returned from Germany for
the purpose of dying In tho arms of her
husband after a brief period of renewed
happipess. Mrs. Stoers was a beautiful
woman of great accomplishment and her
letters are infused with the self sacrificing
PASSION OF AN HELOISE.
The brother of the deceased Oscar
Identified the bodies-and said his brother
was a poet and journalist gaining his
living by that means. He was ambitious
and impecuni u<. His father was now
in a lunatic asylum and had been there
for 14 years.
The jury returned a verdict that Her-
mann Stoer committed suicide while of
unsound mind also that Elizabeth Stoer
his wife died from a ballot shot In the
end inflicted by her husband.
The remains of the dead were respect-
fully buried and followed by many citi-
zens of Canterbury.
It is said that Mr. King will select re-
vise and publish a selection of Stoer’s
works of which those who have seen
them speak most highly.
