HIS WIFE WILL LIVE.
But Would-Be Murderer Buret Il
Likely to Die.
Sent a Bullet Into His Own Brain
After Shooting Her.
She Had Left Him Because Of His
Neglect and Fast Life.

While there still remains much to be
explained concerning the shooting of
pretty Mrs. Louisa Buret by her young
husband, ELI Buret, at De Mott street
and Durham avenue, Hoboken, last
night, enough was learned to-day to
show that the motive for the attempted
murder and suicide was jealousy.
Husband and wife are lying in separate
wards in Christ Hospital, Jersey City,
the man with a bullet in his brain and
semi-conscious, and the woman with a
leaden pellet buried somewhere in the
bones Of her skull.
According to Drs. Masten and White,
who are attending both the victims of
the shooting. Mrs. Buret will recover.
Her husbands case, however, is critical.
Neither Of the bullets had been ex-
tracted UP to noon to-day.
This morning Mrs. Buret was able to
tell House Surgeon Masten the circum-
stances which led to the shooting. Her
story Is that she has been separated
from her husband for the last three
weeks and has been living at home with
her mother, Mrs. Enders. and a married
sister, on De Mott street, near Durham
avenue, within a few hundred feet of the
scene Of the shooting.
Yesterday, she says, Buret came to the
house and asked her to go to New York
with him, promising to buy her new
dress. The prospect Of new finery proved
too much for the young wife, and leaving
their one-year-old baby girl with her
mother Mrs. Buret went with her hus-
band. The couple spent the afternoon
shopping on Fourteenth street, and in
the evening went to a restaurant, where
Buret ordered an elaborate supper.
Mrs. Buret says that they started for
Hoboken about 9 o'clock and arrived In
the neighborhood Of her mothers home
shortly before 10.
The wife says that as they neared the
house her husband made pretense of
embracing her. and while his left arm
sncircled her neck, he drew a revolver

now infuriated man and ran towards her
Buret turned and walked to the cor

nue., where he placed his weapon to his

he fell.
He was found there an hour later by
tnree young men WHO were returning
from an entertainment The streets in
the vicinity are almost deserted at
night, which accounts for the fact that
Buret was not found sooner.
The West Hoboken police were notified,
and an ambulance call was sent to
Christ Hospital Buret was still lying
in the street, but his wife was taken
from her mother's house. which she had
, managed to reach. Both were taken to
the hospital about midnight. Buret was
unconscious and could make no state
ment.
Mrs. Enders, the young wife's mother,
and her sister went to the hospital this
forenoon. Mrs. Enders s0id that her
daughter married Buret three years ago
when she was only seventeen years old.
Buret Is, she says, a Frenchman, and
about twenty-three years of age. He
ID q painter by trade. but does no work
for the reason that he receives an in
come from his grandfather in Paris
Mrs. Enders said she did not know how
much Buret's allowance Is, but she
knows that he received 5000 from Paris
few weeks ago. and within the last
year has had two remittances from the
same source, one of 81, 100 and another
of 81, 700.

he led the life Of a sport. He neglected
his wife. and used to lock her In her
room at their home on Bergen Line

to the races with other young womeI
Of his acquaintance.
