A shot through the window at Härjanurme
Lask läbi akna Härjanurmel
On Saturday evening, 16 March 1935, a young man from Puduvere in Lustivere parish was visiting his fiancée's family in Härjanurme parish. The whole household sat at the supper table, the bride beside him, when a bang rang out, a windowpane shattered and he slumped down: someone had fired at him from outside through the window. The criminal police took the girl's former suitor into custody, as he was said to have threatened his rival after she broke off their friendship. The papers called it a mysterious murder.

Laupäeva, 16. märtsi 1935 õhtul oli üks Lustivere valla Puduvere küla noormees Härjanurme vallas oma pruudi kodus külas. Kogu pere istus õhtusöögilauas, pruut peigmehe kõrval, kui kostis pauk, aknaruut klirises ja noormees vajus kokku: keegi oli väljast läbi akna tema pihta tulistanud. Kriminaalpolitsei võttis vahi alla neiu endise kavaleri, kes olevat pärast seda, kui neiu nende sõpruse lõpetas, oma rivaali ähvardanud. Ajalehed nimetasid juhtunut salapäraseks mõrvaks.
