der was entered against him. Soon after

THIRD DIsPATCHl
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26th.-The only
plausible reason that can be assigned for the
shooting of Mrs. Florence Sachs by her hus-
band, j.. Sachs, is jealousy. Sachs is said
for the past two years to have been in the
habit of indulging rather freely at times In
drink; that on several occasions he abused
his wife. Not long since it is claimed that
he gave her black eye, when his wife's
father sternly admonished him not
to repeat his treatment. 1t is further
stated that at all times Sachs
was unressonably Jealous of his wife. His
jealousy was famed into furious flame by
gossip connecting his wife's name with that
of certain young man, and also by the re.
ceipt of an anonymous letter informing him
of scandalous proceedings on her part. For
some time past the couple have been living
On very unhappy terms. The shot passed
through the arm, infiieting only flesh wound,
which the attending physicians say is
not serious. Sachs claims that the
shooting is the result of scuffis
he had with his wife, and that the
weapon was discharged by accident. Friends
of the wounded lady, who are familiar with
all the facts, express a strong belief that the
scandalous reports were circulated by enc
mics, and without the least foundation. They
also claim that Sachs, when intoxicated,
kicked and beat her shamefully. and that she
often locked herself in her room to escape his
brutality Owing to the high social position
of the parties concerned, the affair has Gre
ated an intense sensation.
