From Behind.
(By the Associated Press.)

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 1O.-J. E. Stark
shot and fatally wounded John F. Angel
this afternoon in the office of the South
ern Express Company in this city, while
the latter was protecting the life of his
sister, the wife of the man who fired the
shot.
Stark had been in Jacksonville several
days, and this morning wired for his
wife to ioin him. She came at about
noon and at 2 o'clock they met in the
office of the express company, where her
brother was employed. The wife sus-
pected that her husband meant to do her
bodily harm when he endeavored to get
her to go to his hotel. She desired to
remain near her brother and declined
to 90.
81 have brought you here to kill you, -
Stark said. Quick a flash his wife
seized him as he was endeavoringt to
draw a pistol She piniored his arms and
her cries brought her brother. The pistol
was taken from Stark before it was
drawn. Words between the two men fol
lowed and blows were exchanged.
Stark then went to pawn shop, where
he procured another pistol and returned.
He entered the office and walked to the
cage where Angel was at work with his
back turned. Resting the pistol in one
of the small steel holes of the cage he
fired, the ball striking Angel in the back
of the head and lodging near the brain.
Angel FELL Stark looked about him and
started to leave when brother of Angel
appeared and seized him. The brother
made an effort to kill Stark with knife,
but others interfered and the police
placed Stark under arrest. Angel Is at
st. Luke's Hospital. No hopes are en-
tertained for his recovery. but he Will
live until morning.
The defense that Stark's lawyer will
make is that he was insane, a theory
which is generally accepted by those
who know him and who have been with
him during the past few days.
Stark was formerly auditor of the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West road.
Angel was cashier of the Southern Elk.

lie replied Bright's disease. He was
then asked if the accusation against
her was not the proximate cause. DR..
