San Francisco, Sept. 7.—Salvador Romero and Mrs. Rena Garcia, residents of Redwood City, were found dead in each other’s arms last night in a room which they had engaged at a cheap lodging house on Saturday evening.

The man had shot his companion through the heart and then sent a bullet through his own.

A number of notes written to the friends of the dead couple were found in the room. The missives showed that love and despair were responsible for the tragedy, which had been carefully planned by both lovers.
