The men spent the evening together,

His Wife Finds q Clue.
About four weeks later Mrs. Gard
liner wrote to Steele and asked him if

That Are Terrible.
MAN FALLS 1876 FEET TO DEATH
After Vainly Trying to Send Woman
by the Same Route.
Finally Shoots Her, but Fails to Kill
Awful Struggle Between the
Principals to the Horror.

Detroit, Mich, June pa small
private office in suite on the eleventh
floor of the Chamber of Commerce
building at the corner of Griswold
and State streets was the scene of a
most thrilling tragedy when Charles
a. Swayse, an insurance agent, fought
with Miss Effie Alvord for several
minutes in an attempt to throw her OUT
of the window. then shot her twice
and plunged himself from the window
to the brick pavement of State street,
being almost instantly killed. Miss
AlvOrd was shot twice in the neck
and badly beaten about the head and
face by Swayse, but her physician says
that she is not dangerously hurt.
'Tis the Wages of Sin Again.
Every bone of Swayse's body below
his neck was broken by his fall Of
165 feet. Despite the terrific fall, a
faint flicker of life remained when
he was picked up, but it went out
as his broken body was being carried
into the lobby of the building. Back
of the tragedy lies tale of Illicit init
macy between Miss AlvOrd and
Swayse, who is 81 years OF
age, married, and the father of two
daughters. Both Miss AlvOrd and
Swayse were for several years prior
to November, 1902, employed at the
house of correction here, Swayse as
deputy superintendent and the woman
as q matron.
"The Woman Tempted Him."
In letter found on Swayse's body
he charged that the woman tempted
him while they were at the house of
correction and he fell. Their intimacy
resulted, Superintendent Mcdonnell of
the institution says, in neglect of their
work, and both were discharged.
Swayse then entered the employ of
the life insurance company in whose
offices the tragedy occurred. Miss AL
word held several positions and then
entered the employ of sewing ma

Indianapolis, June 2l.-An interest
Ing story was told in the coroner's Of
flee by Patrolman C. 4. Couk in con-
nection with tie death of DR.. Lowden
by his own hand Tuesday evening.
There has been some question as to
the kind of poison taken by the ply
stefan. Several months ago, Couk said,
Lowden was called to attend man
who had attempted to end his life
with carbolic acid. There was some
discussion then concerning the terrible
pain accompanying death by this
means, and DR.. Lowden remarked:
when my time comes to commit
suicide, I've got the stuff. It's quick
and it's painless"
An Eve Came Into His Garden.
DR.. LOwden was one OK the best
known physicians in North Indianap
oils. and killed himself by taking
poison, after his infidelity to his wife
had been exposed. DR.. Lowden en-
joyed a large and lucrative practice
until about ten months ago, when he
met Miss Luella Holland, who lives
with her aunt, near the physicians
Office, at Udell and Clifton streets:
After that time he disregarded the
warnings of his friends and lodge
warnings of his friends, and entrea-
ties of his family.
Attacked by Wife and Daughter.
Miss Holland was seated in DR..
Lowden's Office when Mrs. LOwden
and Miss Nellie, daughter of the
physician, entered the evening of the
suicide. There had been family differ
ences because of the woman and when
the wife and daughter walked in they
became enraged. Both started for her
and size fled from the office. The chase
extended to Twentyseventh street,
more than two blocks away. where
Miss Holland was 0vertaken ana
seized Her screams attracted the at
tentiOn of a man, who advised Mrs.
Lowden to avoid a street scene. They
needed the counsel and returned to
their home at 1915 West Thirtieth
street. While his wife and daughter
were chasing his mistress the doctor
killed himself.

Another Woman L. an Eye witness OF the

Yesterday she drove up in an auto
mobile to the Chamber Of Commerce
building with j. d. Terry, also en-
pioyed Dy the same sewing machine

ance Office on the eleventh floor, where
she and Swayse entered small pri-
vate Office at the front of the build

them. Angry words were heard,
then a struggle and screams. Next
several shots were fired and employees
of the Office broke in the door. The
wOman's screams were heard on the
street, and her companion, Terry, had
hurried up in the elevator and arrived
in time to be the first man to rush
into the room. Miss Alvord lay on
thu floor, her clothing torn. blood run

neck, and her hair down and DISNEY

The window was open, and through
1t could be seen Swayse's face above
the window ledge, to which he was
clinging with his hands, The face was

slipped across the ledge and Swayse
was hurting down through the air to

not Swayse deliberately climbed out
on the ledge to commit suicide, or had
crawled out and dropped his legs and
body over in an attempt to work his
way down the front Of the building
