HOPE OF PEACE GONE
Vatican Realizes That Dis
solution of the Concordat
Is Now Absolutely Certain

ROME, July 1S.-From the highest
source it is learned that the Vatican's
view of the situation between the Holy
See and France is as follows:
The Pope regards the dissolution of
the concordat by France as absolutely
certain The pretext is that the Holy
See, before the visit of President Lou
bet to Rome, called upon Bishop Gray
of Laval to resign. He refused and
was summoned to Rome to answer the
gravest charges. The Bishop appealed
to the French Government, which
claimed that the Holy See was in
fringing on the concordat; but, as the
Bishop had not been punished. Foreign
Minister Delcasse acknowledged that
the Vatican was within its rights
The Pontiff is firmly decided to pro-
ceed with the case of the Bishop, who,
il he is not in Rome on the 2Sth in
stant, will be suspended.

in the output was not definitely known
until within few days.

NEED RECALLS
SAD TRAGEDY
Story of Brutal Deed of
Twenty-Five Years Ago
Retold Through Poverty
A LIFE OF SUFFERING
Relict of Ex-Rey. Thomas
Crossley Lies Ill and
Seeks Aid of Friends

A sad case of distress. brought be-
fore the Congregational Ministers As
sociation yesterday reopens one of the
most sensational tragedies that have
ever taken place in San Francisco.
The story of the illness and the need
of Mrs. f. j. Nelson of 526 Natoma
street came before the clergymen and
it was remembered that she was for
merly the wife of the ex-Rev. Thomas
Crossley of the Congregational de-
nomination, who twenty y-nine years
ago, after shooting her down, shot and
took his own life.
Mrs. Nelson's life has been one of
almost perpetual gloom, for scarcely
from the time of the tragedy has
rift occurred in the clouds which
would allow a ray of sunshine to warm
or cheer her moments.
There are many in the city to-day
familiar with the dread details of the
crime. The ex-minister coaxed his
wife, who had separated from him, to
visit him at his apartments on Howard
street on the pretense that he wished
TO see his child. His conduct had been
such that a perfect reconciliation was
impossible. However, CrOssley i'm
portuned his young wife to return to
him, although he realized and ad-
mitted the enormity of the offense
which caused the parting between
them.
She told him that reconciliation was
out of the question in view of the cir
cumstances. Again he pleaded, but so
humiliated and distressed was the suf-
fering woman that again she rejected
any offer of remaining under the same
roof with him, upon which Crossley
drew a revolver, and, aiming it directly
at his wife, shot her in the temple. and
to-day part of the bullet remains i'm
bedded in her forehead, and the hand
with which she protected her head is
crippled.
With her at the time of the tragedy
was the infant, and when the neigh
bors and police broke into the room
they found the child on the floor near
the lifeless body of its father. playing
with the watch he had placed in its
hand prior to doing the shooting. The
child died some years after the occur

SUI uIQ HOl luIn Oul quite happy lOI
the unfortunate woman. BY that mar
riage she had a daughter, Miss Grace
Nelson, who, although in very deli
cate health, strives to maintain the
neat little home on Natoma street.
Mrs. Nelson has been doing fancy
needlework and has also been occupied
as a canvasser, but never having re-
covered from the shooting, she has at
last broken down completely, although
with nutrition, rest and freedom from
the fear of losing their home she may
recover her strength.
Miss Carrie Hodge, a deaconess of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, has
been doing all in her power to sustain
the stricken woman. Yesterday two
members of-the Central Methodist
Church, Mrs. A. H. Staubridge and
Mrs. E. Metcalf, were the good Samari-
tans who called and sat by Mrs. Mel

The Congregational ministers ap-
pointed the Rev. John A. HoIlars, pas
tor of the Bethlehem Congregational
Church, to act in the matter without
delay.
