ROBBERY FOLLOWS
FORGIVENESS.
Wife Takes Spouse Back
and Says He Stole
Jewelry and Money

After securing a divorce from her
husband Mrs. Louise Learned. residing
at 1103 McAllister street, became for
giving and listened with pleased ears
to the honeyed words of her spouse, Al
bert N. Learned of 2043 Fourteenth
street, as he pleaded for a reconcilia-
tion womanlike. she again allowed
the little god of love to nestle in the
cozy corners of her home.
After the forgiveness. says the wife.
came a robbery, with herself as the
victim and her husband as the culprit.
The reconciliation, she stated to Police
Judge Mogan, cost her two diamond
rings, one sapphire ring and s125 in
cash. These articles were taken, she
AYERS, from her trunk. Her story was
told with a sufficient amount of convic-
tion for Judge Mogan to issue a war
rant for the ungrateful husbands ar
rest on a charge of grand larceny.
In telling her story to Judge Mogan
the Indignant wife said her husband.
despite the fact that he came of a good
family, was a perfdious man, who at
times was generous and loving, but al
together too persuasive.
There is not better family in the
State" said the wife, than the one
from which he comes I had to secure
q divorce from him, but he seemed SO
repentant and promised to be good
and he can be awfully good-that /
took him back. Everything went
smoothly for a while, but then we be-
gan to disagree again. We quarreled
several days ago, and as g. result he
took my rings and money. That was
enough. 1t was not the first time mat
he did thing like that and decided
to have him prosecuted. He had no
right to act that way after took him
back. and I hope the officers will catch
him."

BRIDEGROOM KILLS.
WIFE AND sell.
Bath Attendant Stays
Spouse as She Sleeps
and Takes Own Life
FEARS DESERTION

Abraham II. Green. bath attendant
murdered his bride OF seven weeks yes
terday morning and then sent bullet
through his brain. The lifeless bodies
were found at / o'clock in the afternoon
by Mrs. Blackman, the mother of the
murdered woman, with whom the
couple made their home at 2719 San
Bruno road.
short romance, during which Green
became infatuated with the woman,
their subsequent marriage and the
tragic ending were described by Mrs
Blackman between her sobs.
Before the fire Sarah Blackman had
been a wayward girl, living apart from
her family and earning a precarious
lfvirg as a shopgirl. When the city
was thrown into confusion she sought
out the mother she had deserted,
promised to be good and was given a
home.
friendship between Green and the
Blackmans had existed for many years,
but owing to the absence of the daughter
she had never met him. Upon her re-
turn, however, she found the stalwart
young man. They soon became en-
gagged and a month later were mar
ried.
UNHAPPY HONEYMOON.
Although of short duration, the
honeymoon was an unhappy one. Green
was in constant fear that his wife
would desert him. Once she left him
to attend ball and upon two other
occasions she found some excuse to
leave home. On Wednesday night she
repeated the offense for the fourth time
Green waited about the house for her
return. He upbraided his mother-in-
law and then forgave her. Just before
going to bed at midnight he kissed Mrs
n r1YT1 10 J-xa
then went to his room. Up to this time
his wife had not returned.
Mrs. Blackman also went to her room
and was soon asleep. What transpired
afterward is grimly told by the features
of the dead. When Mrs. Blackmans S
little boy, Michel, went to the bedroom
at midday to call his sister he was
frightened by the deathlike silence
"Oh, mother" he shouted, Sarah is
cold and all blue
GRIM JOKE IN NOTE,
Mrs. Blackman was too much hor-
rified to enter the room. She sent for
neighbor and together they cautiously
investigated. Green was lying on the
inside of the bed. with a revolver
clasped in his hand. His wife was be-
side him. From the heads of both a
streak of CONCEALED blood crossed their
faces and lost itself in the bedclothes
Death seems to have been instantane-
Gus In both cases. The woman appears
to have been killed while asleep.
Policemen Gaughran and French were
summoned to investigate. The facts
seem to have been made plain by three
letters which were found in the room
Deputy Coroner Burke, who took the
bodies to the Morgue, declares that
there are no suspicious circumstances
warranting further investigation.
The letters are addressed by Green to
his mother, who lives at 4o1 East
Eighth street. New York City; to his
mother-in-law and father-in-law. In
one Of the letters addressed to. Mrs.
Blackman he INDUCES in some grim
humor. 1t reads:
Bought of Mrs. Blackman, one nice
girl for an earthquake souvenir; the
price two lives.
