Christopher Wilson. husband for six
weeks, is dead. 1t was at the celebration
OF Wilson's wedding, on the morning OF
July IA. that Billy Brennan, the tough.
and his wife. were shot and killed by
Policeman Ryerson of the Seventh pre-
cinct.
Ever since this midnight tragedy Wilson
has been dispondent and unable to work
The tragedy worked upon his mind and
undermined bis constitution. On the
evening OF the fatal row Wilson con-
tracted q sevsre cold, and all efforts of
his physicians TO relieve him were without
avail Last Saturday night he became
worse and died.
Wilson, after marrying Miss Bouiger,
rented apartments at No. Gray street,
opposite the house occpied by the BTen-
mans. Mrs. Wilson. az the time OF her
husbands death, had but $40. or this
sum she paid $50 for grave in the West
Side Avenue Cemetery and $40 for
mourning outfit.
Undertaken Mcdonald would not bury
the man as he could not afford it. The
employees of Dodd g. Cbild's express and
several of Wilson's friends on the Heights
volunteered TO raise a sufficient sum TO
bury him The body remained In the
house for three days. but still nothing
was done, aud Mrs. Wilson was then adj
vised TO 20 and see Overseer OF the Poor
Hewitt.
The body was at once put on ice and a
coffin sent TO the house from Boylan's es-
taolishment After the body had been
taken from the ice box 1t was ascertained
that the coffin was too small. A larger
coffin was obtained, and this morning
it was conveyed to the ceme-
terry There were no services and
the funeral was but slimly attended. A
brother and aunt of Mrs. Wilson's came
on to the funeral from Norwich. Conn.
The heartbroken young widow will
accompany her brother back TO
his home in Connecticut. as she
states thas she wants to get everything
out of her sight which reminds her Of the
double tragedy that resulted from her
wedding, and which caused not only the
death OF the Brennans but of her young
husband also
