BULLETS FOR THREE.
Jealousy Leads to a Triple
Tragedy in Philadelphia
William Evans Shoots His Wife, Her
Uncle and Himself.
He Was u Shiftlcss Laborer with "A
Grudge and u Revolver.
(By Associated Press.)

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. S.--Jellousy
caused a sensational triple tragedy in
this city this morning.
william NJ. Evans. of 1854 Willow
street, frankfort, suburb of this city,
shot and killed Louis Hecht at the lat
ter's home. 12l4 Montgomery avenue.
He then shot his wife, Eva Evans,
through the neck. fatally wounding her
and afterwar killed himself with the
same revolver.
Evans. who is said to have been a
shiftless sort OF fellow, was employed
at Green & Baults dye works. Frank
ford. Because OF his worth!essness his
wife left him six weeks ago and went
to live with the family of her uncle,
Louis Hecht.
At o'clock this morning Mrs. Evans
was busy preparing breakfast, and her
uncle was sitting at a table in the kit
chen drinking a bottle of soda-water.
Evans. who had been hanging about the
neighborhood late last night, gained
entrance to the rear part of the house
by an alley which runs OFF Twelfth
street. AS soon rs he entered the
Kitchen door he began firing at Hecht
and his wife. The first shot fired
him instantly.
Evans then fired another shot at he
PROSTATE man, after which he turned
the revolver on his wife. The terrified
woman started from the house, and as
she rushed past her crazed husband he
sent a bullet into her neck. The woman
dropped to the floor, and as she lay
there Evans fired two more shots at her.
Both of these shots went wide of tho
mark. Evans then went to the middle
room on the second story and, placing
the, revolver to his left breast. sent u
bullet through his heart. So close had
the revolver been held to his breast that
his clothing was burning when he was
found by policeman.
Hecht and Evans were each twenty
nine year old. and Mrs. Evans who, II
Is said. was n Woodworking woman, IL
three years younger Evans had al
ways been insanely jealous of his wife
and had threatened to kill both her and
Hecht on several occasions. Hecht was
afraid OF Evans, and always slept with
big baseball bat at the head of his
bed, In order to be prepared for sud
