Samuel L.. Sachs Shoots His Wife
In a Fit of Jealousy.

SAN Francisco, July 26.-Samuel L.,
son of Louis Sachs, a member Of the
prominent importing dry goods firm of
Sachs, Heller g. Co., shot his wife at his
residence on Van Ness avenue to-day, then
left the house and has not been seen since.
Mrs. Sachs is the daughter of Thomas b.
Shannon, late Collector of the Port. The
wound is not dangerous, the ball passing
through her arm. The cause was jealousy,
which intimate friends of the family say
is unfounded. Sachs is a Hebrew, and
his wife is a Christian. The marriage was
distasteful to the parents on both sides,
and the parties eioped. Subsequently a
reconciliation took place. Sachs lately
received anonymous letters, accusing his
wife of intidelity, and recently he assault
ed her, knocking her down and kicking
her.
Samuel L. Sachs, who shot his wife this
morning in a jealous rage, surrendered
to the authorities this evening. The charge
Of assault with intent to murder was
entered. He was admitted to bail.
SAN Francisco, July N.-The only
plausible reason to be assigned for the
iiootih VI = ~ ~ nv
husband is jealousy. Sachs, it is said, for
the past two years has been in the habit of
indulging rather freely at times in drink,
and that on several occasions he has
abused his wife. Not long since, it is
claimed. he gave her d black eye, when his
wife's father stopped this treatment. 1t is
also stated that sachs has been unreason-
ably jealous of his wife. His jealousy
was aimed into a furious flame by gossip
connecting his wife's name with that of a
certain young man, and also by an anony-
nous letter, informing him OF scandalous
proceedings on her part. For some time
past the couple have been living on very
unhappy terms. The ball passed through
the arm, inficting only a flesh
wound, which the physicians say is not
serious. Sachs claims that the shooting
was the result of a scufie he had with his
wife; that the weapon vas discharged by
accident. Friends of the wounded lady,
who are familiar with the facts, express a
strong belief that the reports were cir
culated by enemies, and are without the
least foundation. 1t is claimed that Sachs,
when intoxicated, kicked and beat her,
and that she often locked herself in a
room to escape Lis brutality. Owing to
the high social position of the parties con-
cerned, the affair has created an intense
sensation.
Samuel L. Sachs, who shot his wife
yesterday, was brought before the Police
Court to-day, but the case was continued
until a week from Monday.
