light here, which reads more like a
chapter in some bad novel, than pas
sage from real life. Four years ago
Robert Uzee married, and according to
the wife's story neglected to provide
for the support and comfort of the part
ner of his bosom. But he had q cou-
sin Henry Joseph Uzee who undertook
to support her and did do 80. Near
Pass Manchac he secured place and
thither the two, Mrs. Robert and the
cousin, repaired and there they lived
with all the intimacy usually reserved
to married life. For three years they
have been living thus, and the harmo-

having arrived with a donble barreled
shot gun, he proceeded to use it with q
deadly effect, by shooting through the
heart, his cousin, Henry Joseph. AZ
ter this he returned to this city and on
Sunday gave himself up to the police.
