Los ANGELES, July 19.-J. G. Luck
this morning made a desperate attempt
to kill his wife and himself. He was not
wholly successful in either case. though
his own death is only \ question of a
short time. His wife may recover.
Luck was an employe in amburger's
Peoples Store and was about IS years of
age. He made a murderous attack on
his wife this morning by striking her
over the head with a pitcher. Then he
seized razor and tried to cut her throat.
ID nearly succeeded and, thinking from
the CHASTITY character of the wounds he
made that be had killed her, he cut his
own throat with the razor and then
jumped from the second-story window
of the Hotel Johnson on Fourth street,
where the couple lived.
Neither the wound in his throat nor the
fall killed him and he was still alive
when the doctor arrived on the scene.
The doctor, however, stated that he could
not live.
His wife was found to be badly
wounded and weak from loss Of blood,
but her wounds are not necessarily fatal
and she will probably recover.
Luck has suspected his wife OF infidel-
ity for year or more. He learned she
had been intimate with wealthy Chica-
goan stopping at Pasadena and hence the
murder. The woman is a handsome
blonde and formerly lived at Modesto,
where her parents now reside. Luck is
IL son OF wealthy people of Nashville,
Tenn.

use their clubs very freely, in order to

the rooms Of the Six Companies.

means in his power in securing his re-
lease they will appeal to the home Gov
ernment, and demand the recall Of Lii
Wing Yu.
