LEADING PORTLAND PHYSICIAN
KILLED BY JEALOUS WIFE
Temporary Mental Alteration Of
Woman Brought on by Unfoundsd
Jealousy, lmpelled Crime.

Portland. Ore.-One Of Portland's
leading physicians and surgeons, DIT.
Roy M. Collins, was shot and in
stantly killed by his wife, a bride Of
six months, on Saturday morning, the
tragedy occurring at the residence Of
Major ]. A. Sladen.
The only motive advanced for the
crime is that temporary mental aber-
ration, brought on by unfounded jeal-
ousy, impelled the woman to commit
the deed. Mrs. Collins is alleged to
have confessed the crime to DR..
Charles B. Frisbie, a friend Of DR..
Collins, who was summoned imme-
diately after the shooting. When Dr.
frisbie reached the scene DR.. Collins
was dead. Mrs. Collins was arrested
and taken to the city prison.
It appears that Mrs. Collins has for
some time been insanely jealous OF
her husband, but so far as any of
her friends know there was no foun-
dation for her suspicious. Mrs. Col
Inns was formerly Mrs. Van Wrinkle
and is Of prominent Portland family.
