committee last night on the ferry boat

sor, on the opposite side of the river, in

until seized and overpowered. The woman
died instantly. every one of the three shots
taking effect. The murderer talked quite
freely, admitted the crime was premedi
tated and expressed satisfaction over it.
The cause OF the murder is attributed to
jealousy and liquor, as he was
somewhat under the influence of
liquor and had been drinking
considerable some time past. He had
commenced a suit for divorce, alleging
adultery with bartender named Harry
Livingston, while she had begun a counter
suit alleging cruelty and failure to sup
port. For some months past she had been
boarding in Windsor, where Livingston
frequently visited her and her husband
occasionally. The parties were married
in Spencerpost, N. Y, near Rochester,
thirteen years ago, the woman being the
daughter of we'll to do farmer named
Brown. They have three children. AS the
crime was committed on Canadian boat,
it is believed this renders the murderer
amenable to the Canadian laws.
