Chicago. June pa death compact
between man and wife was only half

tion Of a double suicide was prevented
only by a policeman s arrival at No. s
Morgan street. just as Fred Van Orman
killed himself. Van Orman's wife,
saved from dying by her own act, still
expressed determination to kill herself
and end her troubles. = ~
Van Orman, who was a consumptive
and 70 years old, had been i'll for three
years and incapacitated most Of the
time from working at his trade as
boxmaker. His wife, Dolly, 20 years
old, has been i'll for several weeks and
She too, had been unable to add to the
family exehequer. The condition Of
himself and his wife preyed upon the

We must not kill ourselves, for we must
live for the sake Of our little child"
The child is only years old.
Van 0rman, however, was determined
upon suicide. All Friday evening he
argued with his wife and for several
hours Saturday morning. Finally he
persuaded his wife that the only refuge
was to be found by dying together.
Mrs. Van Orman at last agreed to die
with her husband.

friend Of Van Orman 8 Edward McKin-

gerous and spectacular. His apparatus
is similar to that used in the old "loop-
Sthe-loop'' act, except that the runway
and loop are much narrower.
His Wheeled Trapeze.
From specially constructed car,
consisting principally Of four small
bicycle wheels with framework for
holding them together, hangs a flying
trapeze from which the performer is
suspended. As the car rushes down
the incline the performer hangs at
arm IS length from the trapeze, and as
the other car whirls around inside Of
the loop the man flies around outside
the loop, much in the style Of a monster
"giant swing, so well known to gym
nasts. p. .i
The feat is one requiring unbounded
courage and presence of mind, as well
as great strength Of arm and wise
Like grip. The apparatus has cost Mr..
Shine vast amount Of study and the
expenditure Of hundreds of dollars. It
is set up in. the rear Of his brother g
home at 1928 Twenty-seventh avenue 8.
The first experiments were made
with a bag Of sand, fastened to the
trapeze with ropes. On one trial the
rope broke aud the sandbag was hurled
witch terrific force thru the walls Of the
shed, as tho it had been cannonball
from a high-power gun.
How He Tempted Death. =:
+ Yesterday Mr.. Shine had planned to
give private exhibition to which
were invited representatives of T e
j our ma and Managed Fred Camp of
Wonderland. Without intending to do
SO, Mr.. Shine gave his guests the most
thrilling exhibition they had ever seen.
{ He was full of confidence as he
climbed the dfty-foot ladder to the top
of the incline where his car was fas-
tened. AS measure of precaution he
strengthened his hold on the bar with
leather straps, but his intention was to
discard the straps at the next trial.
s When Shine released his car it shot
down the incline with lightning speed.
Apparently everything was working
smoothly, when suddenly, as the car
struck the curve of the loop, it stopped
and Shine was torn from his hold and
hurled with dreadful velocity against
a post six inches In diameter. The post
snapped off as one would break a
match, and one section was thrown
against a two-inch pipe with such force
as to bend it into the shape Of bow.
