named Frederick Carton Nicholson had frequently
urged her to leave Carton and resume her marital
relations, and last night was agreed upon as the
time for her to determine which Of the two should
her choice. Whether they met as agreed
upon could not be determined, but she left
the saloon at about twenty minrtes after
twelve O'Clock in company with Carton and
proceeded 10 her lodging house, No. 329 water street.
No sooner had the pair entered the hallway than the
report OF pistol was heard and the woman fell to
the floor. Carton although mOment,rily deafened
by the explosion, caught hold Of Nichol-
son, who had evidently been In waiting for
them, and detained him until officer Rooney
OF the Fourth precinct who had heard
the report OF the pistol arrived at the scene and
took Nicholson aud Carton both into custody. The
body OF the murdered woman was conveyed to the
Fourth precinct station house, where an examina-
tion OF the wound was made, which showed that the
ball had entered the head just above the left
Nicholson is native OF Ireland, twenty-five years OF
age his wife was native OF Germany and thirty
