Pretty Actress Killed.

Brunswick, Ca, March 1.-R. L.
Theater in this city, is under arrest
charged with the murder OF his wife,
Lillian Davenport, an actress, and with
perhaps m ortally shooting w. FL. Brown,
who is q bartender. The terrible affair
occurred in q secluded part of Windsor
Park, q pleasure resort of Brunswick.
1t is now rumored that there is an
other man who committed the decd, and
had planned to elope with the attractive
wife of Davenport. There are some who
will swear that at the time of the tragedy
Davenport was in his room engaged in o
game of cards.
STORY OF THE SHOOTING.
Brown and the actress went Wednes-
day night to Windsor Park together.
They were seated upon bench in So
cluded part of the park, and had been
there only a short while, not knowing
they were being watched, when q pistol
report sounded. Two shots followed
THE One of the bullets which struck
Brown entered his abdomen. The man

when tho second shot was fred. This
also struck Brown, and he DRIED to the
actress to shoot the would-be murderer.
The woman started, when the assail-
ant fired once more. the bullet striking
herin the breast. Terribly wounded as
he was, Brown went to the assistance of
the stricken actress. He placed her
upon bench, and, staggering from loss
of blood, started to Brunswick for assist
ance. Brown returned with physician
and q number of mounted police, but
they were too late. for in the meantime
the woman had died. On the ground
beneath the bench was cluster of roses
which had fallen from her hands, her
jacket and book.
Brown fainted after his trying expert
ence, and was taken to the hospital. It
is now thought he will die. He told the
police that he thought the shooting was
done by r. l.. Davenport, husband of the
dead woman, but was not positive.
Davenport denied that he had done the
shooting.
