Shayne, who is a widower, had been in
company with Mrs. Hammond a great
deal since her divorce from Hammond and
there was talk of an approaching mar

was thought that Shaynes death was
a certainty it was proposed that he should
be married to Mrs. Hammond before his
death, Later. however, the physicians
declared that Shayne had a faint chance

was postponed.
Mrs Hammond secured a divorce from
Hammond nearly a year ago on the
ground of habitual drunkenness. No cause
for the shooting is known, unless it can
be attributed to Hammond jealousy of
his divorced wife. All three bullets
