evening about 6 o'clock Phillip Singer
shot and instantly killed his wife, TriXie
Singer, at their home in the Second ward,

stated as the cause.

repent, and going to her clasped her in
his arms and begged her to speak to him.
He lifted her, dead, to her feet and be-
sought her to speak once more. The po-
lice had been notified and mounted Of
ficer appeared in short time. He found
the husband lying on the floor with the
lifeless body of his wife and arrested
him.
Before the officer arrived Phillip asked
a friend to get him bottle of laudanum,
and the friend, seeing blood on him, pre-
sumed that he was shot. He got 10
cents worth and handed it to Phillip, who
drank it down at one gulp. When the
officer arrived the effect was not notice
able and the man, with blood spUtting
his shirt, was taken to the police station
and locked up. He there became so
stupid from the effects of the drug that
he could not stand without support. He
could not make connected statement,
but talked a little to the police. Shortly
before O'Clock he was taken to Jail and
is getting rapidly worse from the effects
of the drug. He had been a barber here
for about three years.
