A PISTOL DID IT.
Portland Society Startled by a Sen
SatiOn.
Mrs. c. III. Lombard, a Former
Resident of Seattle, is Dead at
POrtIand---Verdic of the Cor

Resident of seattle, is Dead at
POrtIand---Verdict of the Cor
Oner's Jury.
PORTLAND, October Blast night the
occupants of 1.-THE Hill" fashionable
boarding house, were startled by the report
of pistol coming from the rooms of Mr..
and Mrs. G. H. Lombard. Immediately
after Mr.. Lombard was seen to rush from
the room and give the alarm. The boarders
entering the room, found Mrs. Lombard
lying on the floor with bullet hole
through her right temple and a smoking
revolver in her right hand. After one or
two spasmodic struggles she expired
From indications, the woman had seated
herself upon the floor and placed the pistol
through her head and lodged in the tran
som. She was dressed in evening attire.
The only statement offered by the husband
was that he was in the front part of the
suite of rooms when he heard the report of
pistol, and rushing back, saw his wife
lying on the floor. Lombard is a well
known real estate broker, and stands high
in business and society circles. The couple
were married in Seattle about year ago.
The affair is the principal topic of dis
cussion today, owing to the prominence of
the people involved and the mystery sur
rounding the event. There are suspicious
of domestic trouble, but nothing has yet
developed to give firm foundation for the
suspicion. No one was near Mrs. Lom-
bard at the time of the shooting, except her
husband, and his mental condition is such
as to render him incapable of talking. The
coroner's jury this morning, after examin-
ing number of witnesses who appeared
on the scene after the shooting, rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to her death
by pistol shot, at her own hands, but
would venture no opinion as to whether it
