In all the excitement and hustle

was paid to Mrs. Hynds, but after the
ambulance left it was discovered tnal
she had quietly departed. going west
on South Temple street When ChleI
Pratt learned of this, he made in
quiries, but falling to locate her, pc
came alarmed lest, under the terrl1c
strain, she might kill herself. HE I'M
mediately sent out ten men, and Ior
hours thew were unable to get a trace
of the missing woman. Flnally, Jonh
Buyst, a district messenger boy ar
rived at the Hynds home with note
for the colored woman Detective
Sheets and Raleigh got possession OF
it. and in this way learned that Mrs
Hynds was at Mrs. Gleason's, III
south, First West.
The Woman's motive in leaving the
house was to get away from the scene
of the tragedy she had caused, as
quickly as possible, and she doubtless
went on down town without any fixed
idea as to where she would go Sne

Gleasons, having met them at the
Catholic church. but went on TO their
home. AS she entered the yard, she
fell in a faint, and was taken in Mrs
Gleason knew nothing whatever OF the
shooting, and her daughter was ao-
sent at church.
When finally discovered Mrs. Hynds
willingly accompanied the oIncers u

and acted like one bereft OF reason,
moaning and crying. with occasionally
more violent evidences of grief. Chief
Pratt at last Quilted her down, ana
she made a detailed statement, whlch
agreed in every particular with what
her. husband. who was in Chief Pratt s
private office on the floor below, had
said and with what the officers hdd
gathered

After the wounded man had been re
moved to the hospital Hynds was TAX
zn down to police headquarters ana
nshered into Chief Pratts private Of
free. Judge Powers was sent for ana
engaged as counsel and the client was
given instructions not to talk for pup
1ication. When called upon by the re-
porters he courteously declined TO say
ANYTHING regarding the sad affair He
seemed troubled, but wore kindly
expression ON his face and no one
would have. singled him out from
among the group as the chief actor IN
such a tragedy.
-Of1cers Shannon and Pratt were the
first officials to arrive on the scene and
had considerable of conversation
with Mr.. Hynds about the occurrence
but upon orders from their chief pre-
ferred to say very little-so little in
fact that it amounted to almost no
thing. It was learned, however. that
Mr.. Hynds felt repentent after the deed
had been committed and expressed his
sorrow that it should happen, all Of
which was. of course, natural Anoth-
er statement was to the effect that Mr..
Hynds felt sorry that he did not kill
her also, and that he felt justified in
doing what he did However this may
be it will not materially affect the
facts in the case as substantially relat-
ed from other sources
AS before stated the affair created
the greatest sensation throughout the
city owing to the prominence of both
parties. Harry Hynds is well known
especially among the sporting fratern-
ity in this and other cities. Mr.. Din
woody was, of course, known in con-
nection with his fathers furniture es-
tablishment. of which he was manager
of the drapery department
