lot from Singleton street to Papln
street, and quickly disappeared from
view.
The fugitive kept on westward up
Singleton street, and those who saw
him pass noticed that there was blood
on the hand which he held to his side,
and that his body was bowed more
and more as he ran. Reaching Six
teenth street, nearly two blocks dis
tant from the scene of the shooting,
he turned southwark, and persons
who knew nothing of the shooting
saw him meet the woman with the
blue veil near the corner of Sixteenth
and Papin streets, which point she
had gained in advance of him. What
they did next was not known by any,
one in the neighborhood. There all
trace of them was lost, and the trail
was not again struck for several
hours.
Immediately after the shooting
TeviS and the detective walked east
ward down Singleton street to Four
teenth street, where they turned
southwark and stopped at the livery
stable of Peter MaSterSon, which eX-
tends from Fourteenth street back to
the alley where they had been secret
ed. Just before they entered the
stable the smaller man was heard to
remark:
Hell die, guess"
The other replied: well, let him;
what do we care?"
Entering the stable they called fol
their rig, and the hostler soon brought
to the front fine top buggy with a
bay horse. Climbing into the buggy
the men drove off, and, as in the other
case, the trail was lost.
1glehart was shot in the arm, and
the wound, while painful, is not ne
ceSSarily dangerous. Mrs. Tevis fled
to the residence of her father, Col
Reese of the army, to whom she con-
fessed her fault. He was almost over
powered by the sense of his daughters
shame. Vigorous efforts were made
to keep the matter quiet, and such a
powerful local influence was brought
to bear on the social newspapers that
this morning they make almost no re-
ference to the scandal. After her in
terview with her father, Mrs
Tevis consented to face the hus-
band she had wronged, and in his
presence she declared that severance
of the legal ties that bound them
would be blessed boon to her, let the
grounds of the severance be whatever
he chose to make them. Mr.. Tevis
will begin suit for divorce. When
Iglehart came home on Tuesday night
he rang the door bell and the lady OF
the house opened the door for him
He announced that his arm was bro
ken, but did not say he had been shot
and the inference made was that he
had fallen or met with some accident
No particulars was asked for, but a
physician was summoned. In the eX-
element attendant on a hurried visit
of the doctor the door was left open
and probably half an hour after Mr.
lglehart'S arrival woman entered and
asked the colored waiting man whom
she had met in the hall, which was
Mr.. Iglehart's room. She was inform
ed, and she went up stairs and knock
ed for admission. The waiting man
casually remarked to his mistress
that lady had just gone up, and
thinking it must be a relative of Mr.
Iglehart, she hurried up stairs to re.
ceive her. She found Mrs. Tevis sit.
ting by the patiet's bedside, and Lyle.
hart introduced her as Miss something
or other. Considerably confused by
the situation, the lady of the house
called Col. HOyt, and questioned hin
about the visitor, asking him if il
could be possible that there was any
thing improper in the circumstance
Col. HOyt endeavored to quiet bel
fears, but she intimated that unless
all was right she should make very
vigorous protest against the presence
of the stranger. Mrs. TeViS was per
mitted to remain about half an hour
and then Col. Hoyt took her away
She was not yelled, but appeared per
fectly self-poSSeSSed. 1t was not unit
the lady of the house read the newSpa
per yesterday morning that she knew
anything of the real nature of thu
case, and her indignation then knew
no bounds. Yesterday Mrs. levi.
presented herself again at the doc
and was peremptorily ordered away
Having failed to see lglehart, sh,
started east last night with her father
leaving her little girl to the care o.
| her husband.
