Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-04-07

This community was shocked
yesterday by rumor of the death
Of Mrs. Parker, the wife of Mr.. E.
s. Parker. We stated in the HER
AID. the day after Parker was
found guilty by the jury, that the
shock was likely to be fatal to that
gehtleman's wife. Mrs. Parker
was of delicate physique and the
nervous shock of the events which
eliminated in her husbands con-
vlction as accessory before the fact
to the murder of Fonck was too
much for her fragile health. She
was q most accomplished lady and
was endeared to u large circle of
friends, made since her residence
in Los Angeles. She belonged to
a family of marked respectability.
Parker himself has been insane
since his conviction and has been
Frustrated by a nervous fever
which will, very likely, carry
him to his grave also. We have
seldom been called upon to chron-
icle such q melancholy succession
of misfortunes as have attended
poor Parker and his family. 1t
was while attending at the sick
bed of her husband that the poor
lady succumbed to the disease from
which she died.
