JEALOUSY DRIVES A MAN
TO A TERRIBLE CRIME

clans, the man was unconscious from
the time he received the bullet until
death ended the struggle, He fell upon
the dead woman, ard was found in
that position by the officers who were
summoned.
No one witnessed the deed. and none
heard the words that were spoken be-
tween the couple leading to the dual
tragedy. Sophie Akin, a Scandinavian
chambermaid who was at work in the
hall, was Immediately outside the door
when the three shots We're fired. Other
members of the house heard the shots
but none imagined the horrible crime
that had been committed. The Akin
woman went to the door TO investi-
gate but. hearing no sound, and fear
ing an accident, rushed to a telephone
and notified the police department. At
least half dozen people were in the
house at the time. but none investi-
gated the cause of the shooting until
the arrival Of the officers.
Il was standing only a few feet from
their door when I heard two shots, one
right after the other, and then one
single shot" said the Akin woman. II
went to the door and started to go in.
The door was not fastened although it
was closed. I did not imagine that
crime had been committed, but fearing
an accident, l notified the police"

could hardly believe it," said Mrs. An
derson, who subjects the house to the
tenants. Il saw and talked with Mrs.

terms with her husband, have never
heard of any differences between them

cTepancies in their ages, which is said
to have caused estrangement at times.

neither loved the other as they should.

absence / was not aware of it. 1 do
know, however, that she was frequent
~ in sore need of money. and she has
told me that her husband never sent
her any money to defray her ex-
penses."
other women in the neighborhood
assert, however, that she had numerous
callers during the absence of her hus-
band, and that she was at the Theatre
with a male companion last Saturday
night when her husband returned from
Leadville The women in the house de-
clare that she was domestic in her hab-
its and that she was a woman of at
tractive personality. The two were to
all appearances on friendly relations
since Graves return. Neither slept
Wednesday night, but spent the night
in conversation, which could be heard
in part by other occupants of the
house They were away from their
rooms Thursday night, and no one was
able to state where they spent the
night.
Graves participated in the parade
yesterday morning. marching with one
Of the Utah batteries, of which he was
a member in the Philippines. He drank
freely, 1t is said, during the day, and
the physicians state that his breath
was heavy with the odor Of liquor after
he was shot. According 10 their state
ment, he was probably intoxicated at
the time of the shooting, but 10 what
extent they were unable to state.

of grief the two sisters ran frantieally

struggling uncousciously in the grip
OF death he uttered deep cultural gasps,
sgOnizing in their Intensity. Slightly
above his right ear a similar deep,
black opening was horribly visible
from which flowed q small stream Of
blood. drenching the clothing of the
woman underneath.
Physicians were at once summoned
by the officers, and placing the man on
a lounge. everything within the power
of the surgeons was done to restore the
man. The flow of blood was stopped.
and for a time it was thought that
death would be averted. BY the aid
of the surgeons he lived until half-past
I'm the afternoon, when he died. and
in the same vehicle the remains Of the
murderer and suicide and his murdered
wife were removed to the morgue of
Joseph William Taylor. Before the re-

Acting Coroner Dana T. Smith.
How Shooting Occurred.
Graves and his wife had been in the
tragedy was enacted. They had re-
turned from uptown shortly after noon.
and were apparently on the best Of
terms. Ten minutes before 1 Mrs.
Graves went into the rooms occupied
by Mrs. Anderson, who has charge of
the house. for the purpose Of borrow
ing an iron with which to press a dress
intended to be worn to the lake in the
afternoon.
she remained in the room only a few
minutes and returned to her husband,
placing her bonnet on her head and
gathering a bundle under her arm
which she intended to take on the trip.
The bundle contained a bathing suit
which was still under her arm when
she was found later. a companion was
to have escorted her to the lake, but
none OF her acquaintance could state
whether the trip was 20 have been
made in company with her husband or
a friend.
Holding the bundle under her left
arm. she apparently raised a pair of
curling irons and was arranging her
hair. She was at the time talking to
her husband in a low. and. to the other
occupants OF the house, inaudible tone
of voice. He responded in brief curt
sentences, at times making no response
whatever to her remarks.
Either frenzied by her proposed trip
to the lake or maddened by the indif-
ference with which he was treated by
the woman. Graves is believed to have
arisen from his seat and approached
the woman. She continued to curl her
hair and. suddenly, before she could
even attempt to flee from impending
death. the man placed the revolver
against her temple and fired the two
fatal shots. Her flesh was badly burned
by the powder from the revolver. Death
was instantaneous. The woman pitched
hesdlong to the floor. still clutching the
curling irons and the bundle under her
arm.
Took His Own Life

man. Graves must have placed il
against his own head and fired again.
He, too. fell. but retained the weapon
in his grasp. According to the physi-

declared the wife: I'm not afraid of

According TO attaches Of the millinery

herself properly, so far as their OBJ
servation went. She was fond of talk

at all times discreet. She made no great
secret Of the differences that existed
between herself and husband.
