Descending Elevator but Lives severa
Minutes After.
LBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal
st. LOUIS Mo-, Sept. 22.-Mrs. A. E.
Shields. wife of commercial traveller,
was killed at the Richelieu hotel Yester-
day
Mrs. Shields went to the elevator to go
down to the dining room. There is no
glass in the door leading TO the elevator,
ard Mrs. Shields, after ringing the bell,
put her head through the opening to see
if the elevator was coming up.
At that moment it was descending and
struck the back of her head, crushing it
badly. Strange to say, she was not
knocked down the shaft, but staggered
back into the hallway.
Then ensued a most horrible scene. A
chambermaid and porter had witnessed
the accident and ran to her. She fled
from them and notwithstanding that she
was practically decapitated, ran to a
speaking tube and apparently tried TO
call to some one below. Then she ran or
rather staggered to her room few feet
away, and fell dead.
Mrs. Shields was only % years old and
daughter of Colonel Campbell, clerk of
the court of appeals of Arkansas. Her
home was in Little Rock.

the house fearing that he would do ner
some serious bodily harm, MS he had often
threatened TO kill her She returned in
time to prepare dinner and afterward he
beat her in a shameful manner Tic
struck her In the face and brutally
kicked her, nd left her In a pitiful con
dition. When prevented from making
more serious assault by neighbor, hC
threatened he would beat her again.
Things went we'll again until Monday
when Cole picked up glass and hurled
it at his wife. She had given him nc
provocation for the attempted assault
