Special TO the Globe.
New ORLEANS, La, Jan. S.-A week
ago Harry l.. Edwards had a quarrel
with his wife. She left home and went
to live with her sisters, Misses Katie
and Lulu Lewis, in boarding house on
Julia street. These young ladies had a
large number of male admirers, among
whom was DR.. l.. l.. Kuykendall, Of
Texas, now attending medical lectures
in this city, who is said to be paying adj
dress to Miss Lulu Lewis. Last night
DIR. Kuykendall visited the three sis
tiers i'll company with DR.. Jourdan, an
other visiting physician. About IL
O'Clock some one reported to the group
i'll the parlOr that Edwards
was pacing eXcitedly in front of
the house. The ladies became alarmed
and advised the gentlemen to leave.
They prepared to do so, when Edwards
suddenly appeared in the doorway with
his hands in his pockets. After pause
of an instant he rushed on Kuykendall,
seized him by the throat, and, drawing a
revolver, placed the muzzle against his
stomach and fired. Kuykendall fell
mortally wounded. Edwards shot him
a second time, then turned his attention
to the others. The Misses Lewis
had fed from the room, but
Mrs. Edwards had retreated to a corner.
Edwards leveled his pistol ON his wife
and fired, sending bullet through her
left breast. She fell against the wall
and Edwards fired again, this time
without effect. Edwards then rushed
from the house and disappeared, but
this morning surrendered to the police.
The two wounded people were taken to
hospital, where Kuykendall'S wound
was pronounced mortal. After linger-
ing in great agony he died
this evening. Mrs. Edwards wound
is dangerous, but not necessarily fatal.
She had been twice married before she
met Edwards. From her first husband
she secured a divorce and married a
man named Pierce. The latter died,
leavinga son. This boy, aged nine years,
was witness to last nights tragedy.
The woman'S relatives say Edwards
treated his wife cruelty and that she
was compelled to leave him. They
state she had only met Kuykendall
three times, and then in company. Ed
wards friends, however, say that Mrs.
Edwards was entirely too intimate with
Kuykendall, and that the shooting was
justifiable.
Pauper Immigrants Swindled.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.--When forty-two
Arab immigrants were about to land at
this port recently it was intended to
ship them back to Bordeaux, whence
they came, as they were likely to be-
come paupers. At this juncture John
Ab-El-Hour, the noted Arab peddler,
and IL. w. o. Edge, Of Funch, Edge s.
Co., came forward with SOC, 900 security
bond that they will not become paupers.
They were then released and went to
different boarding houses. Here one
Shara Saff, a lieutenant of Ab-El-Hour,
went to each of them and succeeded in
getting IS each from thirty-eight of
them. on the ground that they would
have had to go back but for Abel
Hours action. Four of them wouldn't
pay and reported the matter at Castle
Garden, whose officials are now hunting
Shara Saff
