LQ3C on August Z0 ue WdS SOIuS away
Burrow had left his wife in England and
gone off with another woman, but subse-
quently returned and was forgiven. His
wife feared that he would leave her today
and she was very low-spirited. On Tues
day she told Dr.. Patterson, Of 609 North
Ninth street, of her husbands threats to
leave, and he advised her to seek legal ad-
vice. She promised to do this and went
home.
SLAsEED WHILE ASLEEP.
The couple retired early on Tuesday
night, as was their custom, but Mrs. Bur
row did not sleep. The neighbors noticed
her sitting at the window in their bed
room, apparently watching the storm.
About 4 O'Clock yesterday morning the
people living il the neighborhood were
startled by the cry of Murder When
they got on the street they saw Burrow
standing at his window.
"For Gods sake come in, my wife has
cut me open with razor" he exclaimed,
at the same time throwing the bloody
weapon out of the window. The only
door leading to the house was locked on the
inside with heavy wooden bar. and all
attempts to force it were futile When
Burrow found the people c,uld not get in
be crawled down stairs and succeeded in
opening the front door. Then he fell to
the floor in a pool of blood. He presented
a horrible sight. His abdomen had been
cut clear across by the keen edge of the
razor from one side to the other.
THE woMAN's ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Lights were procured and few of the
neighbors went up stairs, while others hur-
ried in search of medical attendance and
the police. On the bed in the neat second
story bedroom lay Mrs. Burrow with her
| throat cut She was perfectly conscious
and had lost but little blood. The bed on
which she lay and the condition of the room
turned the spectators sick with horror The
bed was literally saturated with blood and ii
| was dripping in pool on the floor. A second
| pool showed where the man stood at the
| window crying for help. 1t was evident
| that struggle had taken place, but the
! blood around the room showed that it was
after the woman had completed her awful
work.
Before Burrow became unconscious he
| said he was asleep and his wife threw a bot
| tie of hartshorn over him. Then she went
down stairs and got his razor. he thought
he was dreaming when he was awakened by
sharp pain and he found himself covered
| with blood. His wife had the razor in hel
hand and drew it across her throat. he
grappled with ner and succeeded in getting
the razor from her, cutting his hand badly
in doing 50.
THE woMAN's WOUNDS NOT DANGEROUS
DR.. George Polls, of 461 North Second
street, who had been summoned, called ar
ambulance and had Burrow removed to the
Pennsylvania Hospital. He said Mrs. Bur
rows wound was not dangerous and, after
it was dressed, she was arrested by Police
man Hunt and locked up in the Seventh
district station house She was given g
hearing before Magistrate Ladner and com,
mitted to await the result of her husbands
injuries. She admitted to the Magistrate
that she did the. cutting, but refused tc
give any reason.

THE EXPLOSION MYSTERY UNSOLVED.
MR. BRAEM AND THE POLICE THINK 1T WAS
CAUSED gY A LEAK IN THE PIPE

workmen busy In Henry NJ Braems hano-
some house at No. Is East Thirty-sixthst. yester-
day afternoon repairing the ruin wrought by the e4-
plosion which happened the night before IT'D
une reporters inquiries there and al the Thrtieth-st
police station did not result In ectng any inior-
nation so definite as settle boyond doubt the real
cause Of the explosion. The police are loath to en-
tertain any bomb theory. Captain Reilly does not
hold this suspicion be worthy Of grave consideration
He said that no doubt gas had been escaping freely,
and as happened in hundreds Of other cases, some
one lit match, causing damage of $4,000 or $1,000
to furniture and house fittings
Lucas, the porter, says that he thought he smeled
gas before the explosion but that he tried all the Jets
and could find no escape. He was, he states, wind
ing the clock when the explosion took place, and he
was hurled ten twelve feet across the floor. The
Consc dated Gas Company according to its secretary
does not deem an Investigation necessary as it had
been established that there leak outside of the
meter and II any to blame It was the occli-
pant Of the house. Mr.. Braem thinks there must
have been escape Of gas in the buffers pantry and
when the porter lighted the gas Jet in the back parlor
where he went to wind the clock, the explosion was
the result. He does not think the porter was at fault
All the circums considered along with the fact
that Mr. Braem has not. to his knowledge, any enemy
who would resort to such method of njurng him as
bomb-throwfng, this seems to be one Of those lnys-
erous Of gasleakages followed by explosions.
OF which 1t is by means solitary instance In this
CITY and elsewhere.
