sheriff and the doctor, who went TO the
scene of the tragedy at Robinson, re-
turned today. From their reports Mrs.
Hawkins. who was shot by her husband,
is not fatally injured, although more
than seventy-five shot penetrated her
back and arm. None sunk far enough,
though. to result fatally. Hawkins, who
was shoU while resisting arrest, was but
slightly hurt, but he had already taken
an ounce of chloroform and died from
it's effects this morning. Jealousy was
the cause of the double tragedy, and
from appearance the would-be homicide
intended to first kill his wife and the
man who destroyed his home and then
himself by chloroform, but the quick ar
rival Of officers after the shooting pre-
vented any further bloodshed.
