err, J. ]. Freeman, large wholesale
feed merchant He boarded at Mrs.
Frapzhein's and fell in love with her.
Franzhein returned to Memphis on
Monday, but did not visit his wifc's
house until Wednesday night. He
was told that his wife mad gone to the
theatre with Freeman. He slipped in
to her bedroom, concealed himself be-
hind dressing case, and awaited her
arrival. Freeman accompanied her to
her room, and both retired for the
night.
Then Franzheln came from his con-
cealment and fired, the ball entering
Freeman's abdomen and passing
through the liver. His wife screamed
skill me, too ! l am ready to go with
him.
"No; you are not worth wasting bull
lets on. Go jump in the river" was
Franzhein's reply. He then left the
house.
When Franzhein reached town he
sent word to Freeman that he would
shoot him unless he ceased his atten-
tions to Mrs. Franzhein. Freeman lin
gered all day and was tenderly nursed
by his paramour. who never left his
room until his death occurred. In hope
of Freeman's recovery the facts of the
shooting were kept secret and the po-
lice did not hear Of it until the after
noon. Franzhein remained at his
mother-in-law's house until noon and
left. Public opinion does not justify the
husband, because of his previous had
treatment of his wife. The latter is a
strikingly handsome woman, 25 years
old, She was reared in Memphis and
always had an excellent reputation un-
til her name and Freeman's became the
