Jalous Lover Also Ends Own Life in Berlin and Cleveland
Alice Fitzner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Fitzner of Cleveland Ohio, was shot dead in Berlin by her jealous fiancé who then killed himself.

The tragedy prompted plans to bring Fitzner’s body back to Cleves for burial and left sorrowful families in Cleveland and Detroit where she was known in theatrical circles.
