MONDAY EVENING, AUG. 10, 1895.
A JEALOus MANS CRIME.

Jealous Of another mans wife, Frank
Sweet shot and mortally wounded her
and then shot himself, dying almost
instantly, in Chicago, on Friday. -Four
sisters are more or less connected with
the story. One of them was Sweets
wife, who died year ago. Another
was Mrs. Alice Burr, the woman who
was shot. The shooting took place at
the home of another sister-Mrs. A. B.
Nichols. The fourth sister is Mrs.
Glenn, at whose house Mr.. and Mrs.
Burr, who had been estranged for two
mouths, were reunited and reconciled
Tuesday. 2
Sweet, who was janitor of the Cham
plain building, had been enamored of
his sister-in-law ever since the death
of his wife, and, it is said, even before
his marriage. Yet Mrs. Burr was
forty seven years old, while he was
twenty years younger. He was con-
stantly endeavoring to get her away
from her husband, and the task
was made easier by the fact
that Burr was somewhat addicted to
liquor. Mrs. Burr left her husband
two months ago and went to her
parents home, in Jackson, Mich. A
letter found among her effects shows
that her husband was still passionately
devoted to her.
Mrs. Burr left her husband asleep at
the Thomas street house Friday after
noon. telling Mrs. Glenn she was going
to see Mrs. Nichols. Knowing that
Sweet boarded at Mrs. Nichols, Burr,
when he awoke, said he would go over
there, too. Mrs. Nichols, on his ar
rival, advised the couple, saying she
did not want any scene with Sweet.
