REMARKABLE SUICIDE.
Vienna, Oct. 21. A singular tragedy has taken place in connection with a financial collapse in Western Hungary. The Bodcn Credit Bank at Oedenburg has become bankrupt through the fraudulent transactions of its manager, Herr Schladerer, a well-known Hungarian financier. The deficit is A 50,000.
Yesterday Herr Schladerer, entered his wife’s boudoir and confessed all his misdeeds, concluding, “ I have defrauded and ruined hundreds of small investors. I have made many families wretched. There is nothing for me to do but to kill myself.” When Frau Schladerer heard her husband’s confession she replied, “ Yes, you had better commit suicide.” Opening a drawer, she took out a revolver, loaded it, and handed it to her husband. He went to the woods and blew his brains out.
To-day Frau Schladerer coolly told the reporters all about her share in the tragedy, as though she had done the most natural thing in the world. She will bp arrested and charged with being an accessory to the suicide.
