E WROTE HER A NOTE

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 15.-One of
the most horrible crimes in the n
of the Sioux Falls courts was commit
ted here at 900 o'clock last night. J.
=. Harrington, q sign painter, wrote a
note to his divorced wife to meet him
on a corner, and waiting for her, shot
her when she appeared, n then
turned the gun OF himself.
The couple were married seven years
ago., but two years ago h wife pro-
cured a divorce on the charge Of cruel
ty and habitual drunkenness. Har-
rington was opposed to the divorce, and
tried to get his wife to remarry him. 1t
Is supposed that falling in this, his love
turned to hate and he decided to kill
her and then himself. Harrington had
been persistent in his second courtship,
and after a time Mrs. Harrington, who
had firmly resolved not to marry him
again. grew tired of his visits n sys-
tematically avoided him.
Finally Harrington decided he would
kill her and laid a plot to trap her.
He, procured q telegraph blank and
wrote a note, dispatching 1t by a mes
senger. The message was as follows:
"Inez, meet me at tine corner by the
hatters, just opposite the court house,
as I am going to Salt Lake at 4:30 In
the morning. Meet me at 9 o'clock.
81. P. Harrington"
Thinking there was something Of i'm
portance in his request, the wife went
to the spot designated. 1t is not known
whether they had any conversation but
1t Is thought Harrington started Shoots
ing at once r..
He fired three bullets into her body,
in the head, shoulder and heart. Nor
tally wounded, the woman tried to
grasp her husbands revolver, but she
TELL. AS soon as she was down., Har-
rington shot himself through the heart,
dying instantly. =.
The shots drew the attention Of peo-
pie on the streets, and at 9:15 their
bodies We're found. Deputy Sheriff
Crooks saw the shooting from a short
distance, but it was all oyer before he
could reach the spot.
