A HUSBANDS FEARFUL THUNDER.
He Mistakes His Wife for a Burglar
 and Shoots Her Dead.

He M Mistakes His Wife for Burglar
 and Shoots Her Dead.
 OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 22.-Jol n W. Laner, general manager and superintendent of the Omaha nail works, shot and instantly killed his young wife this morning. It appears. ac- cording to Laner's statement, that about two o'clock he was awakened by noise and see ing figure over the foot of his bed fired and the person fell to the floor. Getting up he discovered that he had mistaken his wife for a burglar and had shot her in the head. She never spoke and must have died instantly. Laner's sister, who sleeps upstairs, heard the shot and rushing down she saw Mrs. Laner lying on the floor with her head in a pool of blood. ssPve shot Sallie. I took her for a burglar said MT. Laner When the affair became known great excitement followed. It was the general opinion that Laner had mur- dered his wife. It is claimed that since his marriage about three years ago he has treated D. his wife most shamefully His reputation is that of a wife beater It is charged that on Christmas day, 1883, he grabbed turkey from the ta- ble and hit his wife on tine head with it, threw the coffee pot and contents over her, and tied her up III DeO TOT SOI1iS tlLne aSaln Again in March, 1884, it is said, he beat her most cruelty, and the matter became pub lie scandal She left him, but in a few weeks she returned to him at his urgent ap- peal and upon the advice of her relatives, as he promised to mend his ways toward her. It is claimed that he has treated her better since that time. At the coroner's inquest held this afternoon the neighbors and rela. tives testified to that effect, and evidence went to show that pleasant relations existed recently at least. The jury recommended that Laner be held for further investigation. He was accordingly charged with murder in the first degree and required to give $25,e0 bail, which he furnished.
 Public sentiment is bitterly against Laner His story is not believed and he is denounced in unmeasured terms by nine-tenths of the people who believe there has been foul play His dead wife was young lady of charming disposition, graceful manners and at ons time was very beautiful During the las year or two she had grown thin and debili
 tated, retaining, however, in her face trace P. E. Her, leading citizen of Omaha.
