ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

jealousy, Kills Seventeen
year-old Bride.

Norfolk, Va. July S.-Jealousy over
the actions of his seventeen-year-old
bride while on a picnic to-day, drove
Joseph Smith. a shipbuilder. to put
bullet In her brain. and then turn the
revolver on himself last night. The girl
is dead, but the man will recover. The
Smiths had been married only three
months and the murder evidently was
premeditated as Smith bought the revol-
yer with which the shots were fired while
in Norfolk yesterday.
The couple were members Of an ex-
cursion party and got OF at Severn
Wharf. going home In a buggy. On the
way Smith scolded his girl wife for her
actions on board the steamer, and finally
asked her IL she was going home with
him. Her reply evidently did not please
him. for he whipped out the revolver and
! crying, this thing has been going on
long enough shot her dead. He then
fred a bullet into his own head. but
seems to have been only slightly stunned
by the shot.

shortly after her return from her last trip
to New York. she decided that she might
as well have a benefit herself. so she did
turn at the Palace Theater, where the
style in undress was set by Maud Allen
some years ago. Her most recent esca-
pade was refusing TO recognize Queen
Mary. and telling her majesty to move

bleak Danzig by his father, Emperor
William. because he did not take life Sc
riously enough in gay Berlin. will return
to this city this fall. partly because his
health would not permit OF his remaining

cause the Empress begged for his return
so that she would not be separated from
her grandchildren.
