SAN Francisco, April 27.-About 8
o'clock this morning DR.. L. B. Woodward,
q dentist, entered the room of a woman
known as Mollie Woodward, with whom
street, between Sixth and Seventh. The
woman was partly dressed and was sitting
on the bed. Woodward made some re-
marks to the effect that she had been
bearing his name long enough, without
being his wife, and drawing a revolver
fred at her. The ball struck her Just
below the left eye, and, ranging downward
and sideway, lodged in the muscles Of the
neck on the right side. Woodward then
turned the pistol on himself. the first shot
inficting a flesh wound on the right tenn
pie. the second entered his mouth, causing
instant death. From what can be gathered
from the statements of the woman and
acquaintance, the parties have been living
together as man and wife. The real mama
of the woman is Woodward, she being the
wife of a man by that name, a wealthy
ranchman in Napa County. She separ-
ated from her husband some time ago, and
took up with DIR. Woodward, no relation
to her husband. The Doctor was jealous
OF her, and wished her to marry him, and
her refusal to do so is considered the cause
of his action. Woodward was a middle
aged man, and Of respectable standing in
his profession. The woman is likely to
recover, though the wound is very serious.
