A DIVORCED WOMAN
caused Shooting In the Audi
tOrium Annex.

Chicago, March 22.-John TT Shavne
wealthy furrier and a prominent
democratic politician was shot and pro-
paply FATALLY wounded yesterday after
noon by Harry H. Hammond. a NOR
chant tailor. The shooting occurred in
the cafe of the Auditorium annex.whera
Shayne was sitting at lunch with Mrs.
hammond, the divorced wife of Ham
mond and two other ladies. Mr. Shayne
was shot IN the back as he sat at the
table, He fell under the table and
Hammond, pulling up the tablecloth
deliberately fired two more bullets into
the helpless man. He then walked out
into the office of the hotel where he
stood waiting the arrival of an officer.
lie was quickly placed under arrest
and taken to the Harrison street station
where he declined to make any state
ment
Shayne, who was a widower. had
been in company with Mrs Hammond
a great deal since her divorce from
Hammond and there was talk of an ap-
preaching marriage between them.
MRS. Hammond secured a divorce
from Hammond nearly a year ago on
the ground of habitua1 drunkenness, No
cause for the shooting is suggested I'M
less it can be attributed to Hammond's
Jealousy of his divorced wife
All three bullets struck Shayne in the
back and 1t was the first opinion of the
doctors that his death was inevitabIe in
a short time.
Later, however, they declared that he
had chance If blood poisoning does
not set in.

THE TRUST DID 1T.
Compelled Representative Henley to
Sell His Plant and Then
Shut 1t Down.

The plant of the Consolidated Barb
Wire company of Lawrence, which was
shut down yesterday by the barb wire
trust was for twenty-one years the
property of Representative A. Henley,
who represented Douglas county in the
last house, and who was chairman of
the house ways and means committee.
Mr.. Henley sold out his interest in the
plant January l. 1t was a choice of
either doing that or fighting the barb
wire trust.
Mr.. Henley is in Topeka today, and in
speaking of the closing down of the
plant he said:
'I am very sorry that the trust closed
the plant. because it will be a bad thing
for Lawrence. 1t gave employment to
200 men. Nearly all Of them were men
with families, and many will be COM
PEELED to go elsewhere to find employ
ment.
II did not like to sell the plant, but
it would have been impossible for me to
have competed with the trust. 1 start
ed the barb wire business in Lawrence
twenty-one years ago, and it seemed al
most like parting with one of my family
to part with the plant, but I had to do
it. A man might spend all the ac-
cumulations of a lifetime in fighting a
great combination, and then not accom-
plish anything"
