headed 4.year.old 500 by the hand. M.
and Mrs. Gaumer, who we're Of the sane
age, we're q handsome coupe, whose de-
voIiou. up to few days ago, had often

che met her husband, who had evidently
been lying In wait for her. He addressed
her 10 tones OF scarcely suppressed anger.
She answered that she was going to the
home OF Harry Blank, q member Of
whose family 1t Is said had originally
aroused The husbands suspicious. Her
reply was very sarcastic, and she added
that since he had driven her from home
she didn't see why he should care she.e
she went.
The little boy iuterceded: "Paps,
don't be cross with mamma; We are
going to Sunday school,"
By this time Gaumer had drawn a re.
volver, and, holding 1t against his wife's
cheek, ihs bullet smashed her skull,
aud abe sank to the sidewalk in pool
, OF blood.

see II be had been observed, When he
saw Henry Euzisp, a neighbor, running
up, he held the revolver against bis
