No Harm Meant.

The police in their investigation call
ed attention to the fact that when
found the body lay with the feet to-
ward the door and that if the body lay
as it fell the embrace claimed by Mrs.
Chartrand must have been given while
she was between him and the door.
The fact, however, that Mrs. Chartrand
went out the door and that it was
blocked when Smith reached it would
indicate, it is argued, that in his agony
Chartrand struggled and so altered his
position while his wife was absent
She made one remark while being
questioned that she refused later to
elaborate. 1t was, 1T was an accident,
and no harm was meant" The police
profess to deduct from this that there
might have been some difference be
tween the couple.
One contradiction of Mrs. Chartrand's
story was in relation to her husband
asking her to feed the dogs. The police
are in possession of letter written by
Chartrand in which he engages a man
who was formerly Waterman in the
rink to do this and several other things
during his absence The Waterman,
who was to feed the dogs, according to
the letter, says that in the several years
he worked for Chartrand he never
knew him to have revolver.

a MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Hoboken Man Shot as He
Kisses His Wife.
SHE Is IN HANDS OF THE POLICE

The Shooting May Have Been Acct
dental, but There Are Many Points
to Tcxplain-vThe Couple Had Not
Lived Together Recently.
Jersey City. Nov. Mystery sur
rounds the death yesterday of Johr
Chartrand, manager of the Hoboker
skating rink, who died in an ambulance
on the way to st. Mary's hospital. His
wife, with whom he had not lived re-
Gently, is being detained by the police
until the coroner can investigate heI
husbands death.
Chartrand was kissing his wife good
by when the fatal shot that hit him be-
hind the ear was fired. He had been
sleeping i'll the rink, and on Wednesday
Mrs. Chartrand, who, with her two
children, has been living with her moth
er, spent the night with him. He was
about to go on a hunting trip as guide
to Toms river, and one of the men OF
the party, missing Chartrand at the
railroad station, went to the rink to
find him. He found an expiring and I'M
conscious body instead. Then he told
the police.
Mrs. Chartrand says she was to have
taken care of the rink and feed the dogs
belonging to her husband while he was
away. She says when he was getting
ready to go he gave her his revolver,
telling her she might need it to protect
herself while alone in the rink.
Husband Dropped to the Floor.
She had the weapon in her hand
when her husband was ready to depart.
She says that when all was ready she
threw her arms about his neck and
kissed him and that while they were
standing close together, with her arms
about his neck and his arm about her
waist, there was an explosion, and her
husband dropped to the floor.
She says she dropped the revolver,
and after examining her husband and
finding him wounded she ran in search
of a physician. She returned in little
time with DR.. Zennick, the first physi-
clan she could find.
Meanwhile the shooting had been dis.
covered. The time for Chartrand to
take a train in Jersey City had come,
and, Chartrand not appearing at the
rendezvous, Owen Smith, with whom
he was to go away, sent his brother
Frederick to the rink to see what de
tanned Chartrand.
Frederick Smith says that when he
reached the rink he started to open the
door and could not do so enough to get
inside. The door opens into little box
like room, only few feet square.
Smith pushed hard on the door, and 1t
yielded little, enough to permit him
to thrust his shoulders through. He
saw Chartrand lying on the floor with
blood in pool under his head. His feet
extended toward the door and rested
against it, and they had prevented it

Adelbert was a dashing Chap. He
had broad Shoulders and was almost
