Pennsylvania Physician Then Killed
Himself-Victim Lived in
Haddonfeld.

HADDONFIELD. Jan> 20.-Much in
terest is manifested here in the double
tragedy at Bradford, Pa, where DIR.
A. NJ. Chamberlain shot and killed his
supposed wife, and then committed
suicide. The coroner's inquest devel-
oped the fact that Chamberlain's sup
posed wife was not his wife at all, but
that of Frank Little, jr, of this place.
Chamberlain killed the woman after
he had intercepted a letter from a man
in Virginia arranging for Mrs. Little
to join him..
: From Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Little,
ST., parents of Frank Little, the for
mer husband of the woman who was
killed, it was learned that their son
and his wife separated eight years ago.
After she left here six years ago she
came back once, and to an intimate
friend said that she had met an old
schoolmate in Atlantic City and was
going out to Western Pennsylvania to
settle down. This is believed to be. the
person she lived with and who killed
her.
