New York, March 5.-Adrian Braun,
a convict in Sing Sing prison, muir
dered his wife, who was paying him a
visit at the prison, this afternoon.
Braun is a German, 80 years old,
and a cigarmaker. He was sentenced
on August 81 of last year to serve a
two years sentence for assault in the
second degree, and was received at
Sing Sing on September 1. He was
convicted of having beaten his wife,
but notwithstanding this Mrs. Braun
forgave her husband and expressed
sorrow because of his Imprisonment.
She has been living in New York city
with three Of her children, her two
other children having been placed in
an asylum.
Mrs Braun decided to visit her hus-
band this afternoon, and arrived at the
prison at 1920. She went to State De-
tective Jackson's Office and inquired
for her husband He had been serv-
ing in the mess room, acting as po-
tato peeler When the two met they
kissed each other and were very friend
ly They sat for half an hour convers-
ing only few feet away from the desk
OF Detective Jackson, who was present.
Finally Detective Jackson informed
Braun that his time was up, but Braun
pleaded for a little time longer, say
ing:
Cant we have a few minutes
more?"
Because of the trouble Mrs. Braun
had taken to pay her husband a visit,
the plea was granted Suddenly Braun
raised his arm, and the detective saw
the glitter of a long, thin knife. Braun
brought it down with fearful force
against the left side of his wife's neck.
One cut severed the great blood YES
sci and almost instantly the woman
was dead.
Detective Jackson sprang upon
Braun, but the convict had time to
cash the woman's head several times
more. Two other convicts who were
in the corridor came to the detectives
assistance, and the murderer was sub
dued.
Warden Sage had him removed to
the death house, but not, however.
before another knife similar to the one
he had stabbed his wife with, was
found concealed in his pocket.
Warden Sage questioned Braun as to
why he killed his wife, but the man re-
fused to say anything. Later he seem
ed to be sorry for what he had done.
