THEY DIED TOGETHER. New York, Jan. 4.-According to a dispatch from Whitchall, N. J., Nora Bott of that place shot and instantly killed Edward Smith, to whom she was betrothed and then blew her brains out. The couple had quarreled during the day. That night they attended a party and late in the evening the guests were startled to hear two pistol shots. Rushing out they found the young man and woman lying side by side dead. In the dead girl's hand was a clenched revolver known to have belonged to Smith. Some of the girl's friends believe it to be a double suicide.
