let in her brain and a wound in the
hand.
Vacherau arrived here Friday night
and spent two days endeavoring to
persuade Mrs. Quick to leave her hus-
band for him, as she had lone before.
This time, however. she refused to
accompany him and told him that she
wished their friendship to end.
Mrs. Quick summoned Policeman
kerslake, fearing Vacherau would
harm her. The three were walking
toward the station.
Vaeherau Has Revolver.
Vacherau started forward a few
steps, then turned suddenly with a re-
volver In his hand. He fired twice at
the woman at such close range that
the flash of the pistol set fire to her
hat. One bullet pierced her skull and
the other struck her in the hand an
