 on Scaffold in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct H. George Dolinski. con- victed of murder, was hanged here to- day.
 DoIir skis crime was the murder of his brother-in-law. Anton Lisle, year ago.
 Dolinski became infatuated with Mrs. Lisle, his wifes sister. That his clandes- tine wooing might net be intcrfered with. Dolinski sent his wife on a visit to her parents in the old country.
 Lisle, however, became suspicious. Mo- vember 27th the two men met In a pas ture north of Irving park. When the po- lice found I.isle's body there were four bullet wounds in 1t and the throat was cut.
 Dolinski~ was arrested, but declared that he and Lisle had quarreled about money matters and that he had been compelled to shoot his brother-in-iaw in self-defense The evidence against Dolinski, while mainly circumstantial. was sufficient to convince the jury that murder had been done in order that Dolinski might marry Mrs. Lisle
 Meanwhile Mrs. Dolinski. in Europe, heard that her husband had been arrest ed, but the report also said that 1t was for her own murder Supposing that she could get him out of his predicament. Mrs. Dolinski, with her infant. hurried back only to discover the real state of af- fairs. She did not abandon her hus- band, but did all in her power to aid him. She visited him in the jail yester- day and when she learned that the Supreme Court had refused to grant a supercedeas, she fell in. faint.
