SHE WOULD
RIDE A WHEEL
Mrs. Tillman Would Not
Obey Her Husband.
THE MAN KILLED HIMSELF
Shot Himself In the Head After Wife
Had Returned From a Ride.
THE MAN KILLED HIMSELF
DIED AT THE HOSPITAL LATER.

Frederick Tillman, a mulatto. shot
himself In the head at his apartments
at No. 279 Weybosset street about IL
o'clock Saturday night and died at the
Rhode Island Hospital yesterday.
Tillman was married and with his
wife, Ella, was employed on Hicks
street. Some time ago Tillman pur-
chased a bicycle for his wife and she
became very persistent rider. Indeed.
so devoted to wheeling was she that the
husband soon regretted the purchase
OF the wheel. 1t does not appear, how
ever, that there were any serious rows
over the matter. as their neighbors
were never heard quarrelling.
Saturday night Mrs. Tillman an
nounced her intention of taking a spin
on her bicycle. Her husband remon-
strated, but she declared that she
would do as she pleased and went out.
After riding until about half past 10
o clock she returned. Her husband was
not In their rooms but the doors were
unlocked. Mrs. Tillman began to read
and i'm a short time her husband re-
turned. After seating himself he asked
his wife If she had been riding her
wheel and received an answer in the
Affirmative Then with the remark,
'Ill end il ALL" he drew a revolver
from his pocket and placing 1t over his
right ear fired. He fell to the floor
with a groan and Mrs Tillman became
frantic with grief. Her cries brought
a crowd to the place, among the num-
ber being Detective Merrill. A doctor
was hastily summoned, but he could
do little or nothing and later when an
ambulance arrived Tillman was taken
TO the Rhode Island Hospital. where
as already stated. he died yesterday.
An autopsy was held and showed that
the bullet had entered the head above
the right ear and pursued an upward
course to the skull, which had been
fractured by the blow. The bullet lay
embedded in the top of the skull. Till
man was unconscious from the time he
committed his fatal act until his death.
