COLD BLOODED MURDER.
JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.

We learn from the Detroit Evening News
that last Sunday, at $50 p. m. while riding
on the Detroit and Windsor ferry boat
Hope, as it is customary TO do in that coun-
try, Luke Phipps, a white man, shot three
bullets, instantly killing his wife. Effie
Phipps, who he had for some time charged
with criminal intimacy with Harry Living
ston, who for time boarded in the house
with Phipps' family and had thus caused
them to seperate. Phipps and Livingston
both were in the employ of John Armstrong
in a billiard saloon. Phipps had commenced
q suit against his wife for adultery, and she
had left him and was boarding at II $ G ood-
enough's in Windsor, Ont, and commenced
suit against Phipps Tor dssertion or sup
port, and thus he put an end to all of their
troubles. They are in dispute as to the
court holding the concurrent jurisdiction,
as the crime was comitted on the river and
the coroner's jury has not decided as to
which side of the channel the crime was
committed. Women, money and liquer, is
the roet of all evil.
The principals in this terrible affair were
married at Spencerport, n. T.: in 1870.
Mrs. Phipps' maiden name was Ellie Brown,
and her father. VIM. Brown, was promi-
nent citizen. He set Phipps up n billiard
saloon and gave his daughter 4 house and
10 acres of land. Mr.. Brown married a gain
and then Phipps and his wife removed to
Detroit. They returned to SpencerpOrt in
1877, but only remained a few months and
then once more came to Detroit. Phipps
stated after his arrest that all his troubles
were caused by Harry Livingston, whom
he charged with having debauched his
wife and ruined his peace and happiness.
HI said he was sorry he had killed her, but
she had been untrue to him, deserted him
and turned a deaf ear to his appeals to
come back and take care of their three
children. The children referred to are
girl of II years and two younger boys. who
are living at A. Spencer street. Phipps is
about 40 years OF age, and his wife was
slender woman OF the blonde type, some 10
years younger.
DIR. Carsgram of Windsor, coroner for
the county of Essex, Ont, is conducting
the cOroner's inquest. He says no extra
dition question will be considered until
the inquest is finished, and not then to
materially change the matter, witnesses
are here to testify that the murder took
place on the Canadian side. The Jury was
out for an hour Monday afternoon: nine
were for willful murder, and three opposed
to such verdict. The examination was
continued until Thursday.
