Newark, n. j., Aug 29.-His failure
to find work caused George Unger,
twenty-five years old, Of Shohola Glen,
Pa, to attempt suicide here. He shot
himself with a revolver and is in St
james hospital with little chance Of
recovery. In hiG pocket was found a
note addressed to Elizabeth A. Kut-
scher of 90 Pacific street dated Aug.
% last.
The note Is a very pathetic one, In
which Unger asks the girls forgive
ness for his deed.
, Unger had known Miss Kutscher
four months. He was a timberman in
Shohola and came to this city looking
for work. His search for q position
Is said to have been fruitless. While
In an abandoned coal yard he shot
himself. William Sachs saw him with
the revolver in his hand. S~uspecting
his intention, Sachs ran TO him, but
was too late. The bullet entered the
body Just above the heart. A passing
automobile was stopped and in T. the
wounded man was taken to the hos
pital. On the way he begged those In
the car to shoot him. please put an
end TO me- he said. 81 want to die"

MULATTO AS
CORRESPONDENT
Bowman Accuses Wife of
Intimacy With Chauffeur

Trenton, Aug. 29.-William c. Bow.
man, who, like his wife, is well known
to the best people in New Jersey, has
brought suit for absolute divorce.
He names as correspondent Augustus
Wertz, a mulatto, a chauffeur whom he
has employed for some months,
Wertz's complexion is 50 light that he
might easily be mistaken for a white
man so far as color is concerned, but
he has a negro's typical appearance.
The suit N like a bolt from q
clear sky. Until the divorce libel was
filed In the court of chanceTy the Bow.
mans were dwelling together in peace
and happiness seemingly; not a breath
of scandal had disturbed their marital
atmosphere. Bowman absolutely re
fuses to discuss the suit. Mrs. Bow
man is invisible and has left town, it
is reported Vert has vanished ,,oo
Mrs. Bowman $ Ir1enQS nave rdllleQ
to her and angrily declare she is in
capable of the deed her husband at
tributes to her. Her friends say they
believe some gossip has poisoned Mr..
Bowman's mind against his wife.
She is a beautiful woman, about thtr-
ty-fve years old, and was a Miss Fogel
of this city. Bowman is known every
where as an expert In poultry. His
wife, who has absorbed his knowledge
on the subject, bears a like reputation.
The Bowmans lived at the Trenton
Country club for a long time, There
they closely associated with some of
the most fashionable people in the
state. Both are popular, especially in
the circles adorned by Jerseys gen
tlemen farmers"
Mrs. Bowman was often the only &C.
cupant of the motorcar which Wertz
drove. The divorce libel names a day,
July 7 last, when Mr.. Bowman was
pallbearer at the funeral Of Howard
Frye, a poultry fancier, who was killed
In an accident to a racing automobile
on Long Island.
Wertz has the reputation of being
vain and fond of dress. He has vainIy
tried to make friends with the white
chauffeurs in this vicinity.
