WIFE LOCKED OUT.
Koehn's mother left the house Fri
day before her sons quarrel with his
wife, and went to San Francisco.
Koehn was not at the house Saturday
and his wife declares she had locked
her out of the place. She tried to re-
turn, but was unable to until this
morning, when she found key that
fitted the back door.
Mrs. Louisa Paganetto, the girls
mother, said Koehn had been ugly and
violent for some time AS late as Fri

threatened to cut his wife into ribbons
The San Francisco call., 1905-02-13

A pistol duel to death between the
bride and bridegroom ended the brief
honeymoon of Edward r. and Eleanor
Koehn of Oakland yesterday.
The husband was instantly killed by
the woman who only seven weeks ago
had promised to love, honor and obey
him, but she says he fired shot first
and had threatened to kill her.
The young wife is held for murder by
the Oakland police. The tragic end of
the honeymoon occurred where the ro-
nance of the couple. began, at Koehn's
home, 7S9 Fifty-eighth street, Oakland.
The husband shot first, declares Mrs.
Koehn. Hardly had the strains of the
Lohengrin wedding march died in their
ears when the couple began to find that
they were unsuited to each other, and
petty domestic squabbies led to fierce
quarrels, that eliminated in the fatal
duel.
Koehn was packing his effects to
leave the place when his wife entered.
Furiously he ordered her to go. She re-
fused. Forgetting in his rage that he
once loved the woman, .he drew a pistol
and shot to kill. The woman quickly
got revolver from under a mattress.
How it CHANGED to be there is not ex-
planned. Four times she fired at Koehn
and he sank to the floor with bullet
in his neck-dead.
Il shot until he dropped Mrs. Koehn
said afterward.
RUSHES FROM VICTIM.
AS soon as the husband fell Mrs.
Koehn rushed from the place to the
home of her parents, few doors away,
carrying the smoking weapon in her
hand. There she wrapped the pistol in
a paper bag and boarded an electric
car. The attention of Captain of Police
A. Wilson was called to the woman,
and he asked her what had happened
II have shot my husband" said she
Here is the pistol. 1 was on the way
to the City Hall to surrender myself"
The woman was taken to the City
Jail That ended the last chapter OF
the romance of the Koehns.
The first chapters are prettier. In
the spring of last year Edward r.
Koehn, a prosperous young clerk, first
saw Eleanor Paganetto, beautiful
young Italian girl. 1t was on a bright
spring morning when he was hurry
| ing to catch train to his work in this
city. The girls dark eyes made such
an impression on him that he could
hardly think of dry figures and musty
books.
on the next morning he saw her
again in her own garden a few doors
from his home She seemed even more
beautiful, if such thing could be pos
sible. Then and there Koehn began tc
think that his thirty-two years had
been spent in vain and that his life was
| incomplete. He was in love.
He did not lconfide his secret even te
| his mother. Alone he tried to devise
excuses for speaking to her. The op
portunity came in a manner tina
| astounded him.
One evening when he returned to hi.
home his mother met him at the dool
of his home. saying, II have some on,
| here I want you to meet" To his de
light Koehn was ushered into the pres
ence of his divinity of the dark Italian
i eyes.

duly violent in his treatment OF his
wife. Paganetto said:

and finding fault with her because she
was ILL., He was not kind, and his
mother did not treat my sister kindly,
either. He had no cause for complaint.
Ny sister had kept company with no
one before she met Koehn.
Saturday morning my sister wanted
to go back to the house, but Ed mad
