JEALOUS, SHOOTS
WIFE AND HIMSELF.
Columbus Man, Travelling for
Atlanta House, May Recover.
Woman Likely to Die.

COLUMBUS, GA, Aug. 27.-Insanely
jealous of his wife, A. M. Robarts,
travelling representative of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company. of Atlanta,
today ,shot his wife through the right
lung and, while the revolver was still
smoking, turned the weapon upon HIM
self. firing a bullet into his right tenn
pie.
mo one will blame me, when my
side is shown" Robarts said soon after
the shooting, as he was being hurried
in an ambulance to the city hospital.
Relatives of Mrs. Robarts say that
Robarts' mind became unbalanced
through jealousy of his wife Mrs. Rob-
arts sister said that yesterday Robarts
told her he intended to kill his wife
and then himself.
Both Robarts and his wife belong to
prominent families and are held in high
esteem by a large circle of friends.
Physicians think Robarts has a
chance to recover, but Mrs. Robarts is
not expected to live, although every eff
fort is being made to save her life.
Andrew Robarts is one Of the finest
men | know" said r. S vessels, man
ager of the Atlanta headquarters Of
the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, this
afternoon He had just received tele-
phone messages from Columbus telling
of the tragedy. and was greatly per-
turbed. The whole office force was
shocked and grieved at the news.
"Robarts was about AZ years old,
splendid business man, and entirely sue
cessful," continued Mr., Vessels. But
for several weeks he had been COM
planning of horrible pains in his head.
He thought they came from neuralgia,
A few days ago he asked for a vaca-
ton. and | told him to take as long
rest as he needed and not to go back
to work until he felt well again. There
must have been something wrong with
Robarts' brain to bring such a tragedy
about"
Robarts and his wife were both of
Columbus families, though they had
many friends in Atlanta. Robarts had
been with his company about ten years,
making headquarters at Columbus. Be
fore that he was a conductor on the
Atlanta and West Point road, and had
thousands of friends among Georgia
travellers.

Missing Gunner
Believed Caught

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Two men sus-
pected of being "Gyp the Blood and
Lefty Louie" the missing gunner I'M
der indictment for the murder of Gam
bier Herman Rosenthal, are today in
custody at Fonda, Montgomery county,
New York, where they were arrested
last night.
The arrest has brought about a con-
troversy between two detectives en-
poyed by William Burns and the au-
thorities of Fonda, according to a dis
patch today. The two Burns opera
tives arrested the men, after trailing
them from Albany County Sheriff En-
nest Kulbaum said over the phone that
the suspects were not the missing gun
fighters for whom District Attorney
Whitman has offered a reward of $4,000,
but were two street vendors who were
locked up by Deputy Sheriff McLaugh-
lin for violating village ordinance for
peddling without license.
The two suspects were arrested at a
Fonda hotel where they had registered
as IL. l.. Goldenberg, of Brooklyn" and
H. II. Kueger, of Paterson, n. j." Com
plant had been made against them, the
sheriff said, for selling clothing from
house to house. When arrested, their
baggage was searched by the private de-
tectves, but they reported to Burns
that they had found nothing incrimi-
mating.
Burns Thinks He Has Them.
Burns admitted without hesitation
that his operatives had made arrests at
Fonda, and from descriptions of the
men he said that he felt sure the much
wanted gunner had at last been run to
earth.
The dispatch made play on the sug-
gestiveness in the initials of the two
suspects, pointing out that Goldenberg's
initials stood for Lefty Louie" and
Kueger's for Harry Horowitz," which
is "Gyps" real name.
Clews fastening suspicion upon the
two men were obtained first in Albany.
From that city the Burns men trailed
the two suspects to Fonda.
In their telephoned report the Burns
detectives said that the two prisoners
were indignant at being arrested. They
claimed to be travelling men

High Court Order Delays Ar

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Lieutenant
Charles A. Becker, through his lawyer,
John f. Mcintyre, sprang a surprise on
Judge Mulqueen and the district attor
ney in general sessions today when, at
the arraignment of Becker, an order
stopping all proceedings until Septem-
Der 3, was produced
The order was signed by Supreme
Court Justice Amend. 1t was secretly

In substance it stated that Becker

murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal

Judge Mulqueen remanded the pris

Property Owners Tremble.
Rich land owners whose prop
critics lie in the tenderlon were
in a panic today over the threat
of Police Commissioner Waldo to
make a public list of gambling houses,
together with a list of the owners of
the buildings. Later in the week he
said he would probably publish list of
| disorderly houses. He tried to have both
lists ready at the same time but there
has been great deal of work verifying
the data. Appeals have been made to
Mayor Gaynor to head off Commission
or Waldo
According to police headquarters,
Commissioner Waldo has taken pains
to acquire the history Of each resort
showing that after being raided the
places were invariably reopened. Mr.,
Waldo designed by this to show that
the owners of necessity must have
known the character of business car
ried on within their property.
The proposed publication of disor-
derby houses aroused more Of a COM

DeLeon has big part of the contract

and. according to one story, it was worry
over the low bid he had made and the
certainty of considerable loss that may
have unbalanced his mind and caused his
disappearance. In that connection a
strange story of the tragic web of fate
apparently spun about the court house
was related today.
Old-ttmers declared that some sinister
influence had lowered over the spot where
the new court house is to be erected since
Atlanta was quite a small town.
Old Mystery About Place.
Long before it was decided that the spot
was to be the seat of temple of justice
and the temporary abiding place of
thieves and murderers brought there for
trial, there was an atmosphere of mystery
about the place. The lot was a part of a
deep hollow through which ran a creek
on the banks of which stood a number of
large mulberry trees. Frederick Morton.
long dead built an attractive little hotel
on the rise beyond the creek. A pathway
and little bridge down through the dark
shaded hollow led to the hotel.
Suddenly the hotel which had attained
considerable popularity, was threatened
with.a strange pest. From few martins
that began to fly about it in the after
noon, the number increased to thousands
then to millions. They came in such tre-
mendous tlocks that they darkened the
sky and with such a noise that there was
no peace at the place
