FRANK FRAYEN DOES IT AT LAST.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 30.-This afternoon at
the Coliseum theater. in the fourth act of
the play ST Slocum, Frank Frayne. il
shooting an apple OF the head of Lucy
Slocum, peIsonated by Miss Annie Van
Behren, missed the apple and shot Miss
Van Behren in the head. She died in
fifteen minutes. Frayne was arrested i'm
mediately. The curtain fell and the play
stopped The audience supposed the vic
tim was only slightly hurt. Frayne used
a Stevens rifle, twenty-five caliber and
was executing the backward shot. The
catch snap of the rifle was imperfect and
slipped just as the hammer fell and blew
the cartridge backward.
When the curtain went down after the
fatal shot the excitement behind the scenes
was so great as to create alarm lest
panic might ensue. The audience num-
bered 1900. Frayne's cries and lamenta-
tions were so violent that he was heard
before the curtain. Manager Fennessy was
too much excited to say anything, but sent
friend to the front to say the accident
was slight and the play would not proceed
further. The audience then retired in
good order. though one lady tainted.
Manager Fennessy took charge
of Frayne, and though the
latter demanded to be locked up, he
got Mr.. n. Hennick to go before Judge
Highly of the police court and give bond
for his release from arrest. The bond was
filed at $4,000. Frayne's mental condition
was such that one or two of his friends
kept close watch over him at his hotel.
The theater is closed for tonight, and
probably will not be opened this week.
The coroner received the body of Miss Won
Behren, and it was then removed to Under
taker Habig, where it will lie until word is
received from her friends in Brooklyn. It
is SAID she was engaged TO be married
shortly to Frayne. The cause of the acci-
dent was the lowering of the barrel by
fault in the spring latch. Frayne's shirt
was burned by the powder. and a part of
the shell was driven back wards
