HUSBAND is DEAD;
WIFE CANNOT LIVE
Sad Ending to a Philadelphia Saloon
keepers Prolonged Spree
at Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 24.-George
Schaeffer, a middle-aged Philadelphia
saloon-keeper. ended a two weeks de-
bauch here yesterday by firing two bull
lets into the head of his wife and blow
ing out his own brains in the summer
cottage of the, couple at Somers Point,
twelve miles from this city, on the
mainland. The shooting followed a
trivial dispute between the man and
his wife over which of them should
answer a telephone ring.
The woman, who will not live, was
rushed to the City Hospital here in an
automobile by one of the ~neighbors
who discovered the tragedy. Mrs.
~Schaeffer, in an interval of conscious
ness, blamed the whiskey for the
tragedy.
Schaeffer started drinking two weeks
ago, and while the two were in a Sec
one-story room the telephone bell rang.
The man started to answer it, but was
forestalled by the woman. who said
he was not in condition to talk intelli-
gently.
He became wildly angry when she
refused to obey his orders not to
touch the receiver, and, just as she took
it down, stepped behind her and blazed
away with a .32-calibre revolver.
