WOUND FATAL TO SHOOTING VICTIM

George Stiffler, 31, Economy Township, died in Sewickley hospital Tuesday, several hours after he allegedly shot himself in the right temple with a borrowed rifle. A brother, Joseph Stiffler, found him in his automobile along a lonely road, the gun beside him. The gun belonged to his aunt, Mrs. Mary (sic) Maddern, with whom he resided. She said he had been despondent and out of work.

Note by Judith Muck: Mrs. Mattern was a sister of Mary Strifflers. She thinks they have her first name wrong. It should be Wilhelmina.
