night by the appearance of Jarvis Nelson
Phelps, a young man, the son OF their
nearest neighbor, who was bleeding from

clared that he had shot himself and had
but few moments to live, and that he
had left the dead body of Sadie A. Grover,
his former mistress and the mother of
three-year-old child, in the woods short
distance back. An alarm was Immediately
| given and search proved Phelps story to
be true. Phelps has a wife living. He
formerly lived with the Grover girl, who
| is scarcely nineteen, until arrested for
bigamy and sent to the Greenfield Jail
fer one year. His sentence was COM
muted about year ago. since which he
has been endeayoring to get her to live
with him again. Her continued refusal
and association with other men have ex-
cited him TO commit the crime. He says
that he fired four chambers Of his revol-
yer into the woman's heart, then coolly
reloaded and discharged seven barrels
into his own breast. An autopsy COM
firms this story substantially. Phelps is
still living, and to all appearances is the
coolest man in town, but the doctors say
that he cannot recover.
