FROM ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO, May II.
The details of the dreadful domestic TRACE
DIV enacted in this city yesterday, aud little
10 the i.cts already telcgraphed. It appears
that Simmons deserted bis wife four years
ago, leaving her without money or means to
obtain 4 living for herself and two children.
Upon hearing of his whereabouts, she wrote
to him. imploring him to return and to send
her means to relieve her necessities. Not until
about six months ago, however, did he return
and then his wife declined tolive with him,
and subsequently took steps to procure q d.
yorce. and this was the direct cause OF the
tragedy yesterday. By previous appoint
mert he met her at the house of her sister,
and as nearly az could be learned by broken
sentences ii the wounded woman, he asked
| II she would abandon her efforts to procure
divorce and again live with him, and re-
ceiving decided negative in reply, he tired
three shots at his wife, the last Of which took
effect in her head, and then turning the pistol
to his own .aead put a ball through his brain.
Mrs. Simmons is still alive. but .here is little
! nos Utility OF her recovering. as the ball
passed through the upper portion OF her
brain. From the testimony ad.lnccd at the
coroner's Inquest on the body Of Simmons,
| it appears that he had several times since
hearing Of his wife's intention to secure di-
yorcc, declared that she should never live
| with another man.
