terrified her children by her first hus-
band that they left home. At n time
he threw a lamp out of doors and drove
her and her children out in the wintry
air practically naked and threatened to
kill her. At another time he assaulted
and knocked her down and struck her in
the face, saying he would kill her, and
called her vile names. At another time
Mrs. Grams bought a new dress, and her
husband took it away from her and call
ed her vile names and tore it to pieces.
A year ago he forced her into a room,
locked the door, brandished a knife and
called her names. Last October he drove
her out of the house. In December he
struck her with a shoe, and the night
after Christmas he assaulted her with his
fists, striking her on the head, knocking
her senseless and severely injuring her,
at the same time calling her vile names.
In January he assaulted her and spat in
her face and ordered her to leave the
house.
In the two suits for divorce, Mrs.
Grams asked for a division of property.
Habitual drunkenness was alleged as one
of the grounds for a divorce the second
time.
Sheriff Williams, Deputy Sheriff Al
drlch and Coroner Kennery returned late
this afternoon from the scene of the muir
der. 1t has not been decided when the
inquest will be had, nor is it known just
when Grams will be arraigned, but it will
not be today.
Further Particulars.
It is learned that Grams stood not over
two feet from his wife when he fired the
fatal shot at her. All that portion of
her face below her eyes was torn away
BY the charge, and she fell in a heap
across the threshold. She died at once.
A fifteen year old boy, a nephew of
John Nyquist of this city, was at work
in the garden when Grams approached
the house. He was staying with the
.Pellibergs, and saw Grams come out of
the brush with his gun. He had gone
to GAINESVILLE, so the officers could not
see him. but it is thought hat he was
an eye witness to the tragedy.
The only other persons at home were
Mrs. Pelliberg and her little children.
She was sitting at a window dressing |
house and began to talk to his wife, who !
"oo oCdilulIlS vi IN DdCh pOlCu. Oue |
heard him ask her why she would not go |
back to the house with him, and she re-
piled that she would if he would do what
was right. Mrs. Pelliberg then left the
window, but she soon heard Mrs. Grams
"Oh, Emil" and then she heard
the shot. Grams at once walked away,l
and she took her two little children and
to a threshing crew eighty rods west
of the house, and found Mrs. Grams
dead, and her clothing on fire,
flash from the gun having ignited it
all probability. The remains were bad
ly burned.
The threshing crew made no effort to
Grams.
Mrs. Pelliberg has seen Grams many
when he was sober and when he
was drunk, and she considered him per-
sober this morning.
When locked up, Grams was smoking
a cigar, and he was reluctant about
giving it up. The officers had to take it
rom his mouth.
