JEALOUSY LED TO
An AWFUL CRIME
Husband Killed Wife When he
Found Her With Another
Man

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Oblivious to
all his surroundings, Robert Fenzle,
a caterer, who shot and fatally wound
ed his young wife, Maud, upon enter
ing his home at 857 North Orianna
street, and finding her alone with a
boarder, John Flynn, was arraigned
today as the Central police station.
The man, who only a few hours be-
fore had bsen mad with jealousy and
filled with lust for revenge, appear
ed in the court as most pitiful cre;:-
ture. His eyes were wild and CLASSY,
his head hung low. He refused to
answer all questions, and seemingly
had no knowledge of anything that
was transpiring about him.
Maud, Maud, why did you?" he re-
peated innumerable times. II wouldn't
believe them when they told me. You
wrecked our love, our pretty, pretty
love-"
Frenzle was held without bail to
wait the outcome of the injuries Of
his wife. who is now in the Roose-
velt hospital in grave condition and
with but slight chances to live.
Her husband was taken to Moya-
mensing prison after the hearing. The
only time he seemed to arouse from
his lethargy was when he was placed
in the police van.
Pleads to See Her.
Please can't see Maud once
more?" he pleaded. When the request
was denied him he broke d0wn.
The story back of the shooting is
one OF the most pathetic, the police
declare, which they have had to deal
with for some time.
1t is a story of happy home
wrecked, through "the other man."
Frenzle and his wife were married
eight years. They had a modest but
exceedingly comfortable home. One
child was born to them, a boy, Vino
is now 6 years of age.
Mrs. Frenzle, an attractive, vivac-
ious girl, "a years old, was model
mother and wife. Her husband,
sturdy German, who made a good liv-
ing, was devoted to her. She was his
idol. He showered gifts upon her;
pleaded with her to buy pretty per-
sonal things. and, whenever possible
took her to the theatre and other
places of amusement.
"The Other Man."
Then the other man entered the
house. He; was motorman on the
Willow Grove division of the transit
lines. He had already ruined, 1t is
one home. The woman he
had married had fled from him. He
was good looking, keen, witty and
The husband was slow,
rather dull. The obvious result hap
pened.
Frenzle did not notice that his do
mestic life had been shattered. To
him his wife still stood ON a pedestal
When friends warned him to put his
house in order, he became indignant
and threatened to attack them.
Nevertheless, the grain Of suspicion
had ben planted, and the man began
things which he had never
noticed before.
He OWNED that some Of the mani
festations of affection upon the part
Of his wife for him, were forced. Once
he came upon her when she was
talking to Flynn. and then she was
laughing.
Begins to Believe.
The man brooded and against his
will. began to believe. Then he began
to watch. He said nothing, only
watched, but all the time there grew
In his heart great hate for "the
other man."
His wife told him she was going

planning to go with Flynn. She de-
