shot the woman twice through the
head and then blew out his own
brains with the weapon. The tragedy
occurred in the woman's room in a

The principals to the tragedy had
been on more than friendly terms for
over seven years. According to those
well acquainted with the couple,
they had been engaged to be married
for some time, but the inability of
Blum to secure divorce prevented

While there he became acquainted
with Mrs. Hickey, the wife of a
butcher employed by the Union Meat
Co. This acquaintance grew into an
intimacy that resulted in the separa-
ton Of the Hickeys.
