KILLED THE MAN
SHE COULDN'T HAVE
Miss Viola Carver Shot J. Edward Edge
at Los Angeles-They Had Been
Keeping Company Some
Time

Los Angeles, Calf, March l3.-Miss
Viola Carver, a slender girl and pretty,
yesterday shot and fatally wounded ],
Edward Edge, a young real estate man,
who came here from Saylesville, r. l.,
last October, in the Consolidated Realty
building. He died in about four hours.
After shooting Edge she pressed the
revolver against her own head, but the
hammer clicked against an empty cham
berthe only one in the cylinder.
"T never meant to shoot him. was her
declaration afterward. Il only wanted
TO kill myself"
But later she cried: 81 loved him
and could not have him, so | shot him"
Although the young man and the
girl kept company for several months,
there is no evidence that IT was love
affair. He was member of church
choir and night student in the law
school. She was hard working little
shop girl.
Late yesterday afternoon Miss Carver
entered his office. oThey eonyersed for
A few minutes and then went into the
second room of the suite and talked for
about five minutes. Then Edge walked
to the door with Miss Carver, evidently
to bid her good bye.
Suddenly she drew a revolver from her
muff and fired.
The bullet struck the young man in
the forehead and he fell at her feet,
face downward.
Edges mother, upon whom the violent
end of her son has had an effect even
more tragic than death, said that she
had never heard of Viola Carver,
"lf my boy went with this girl or
any other, / knew nothing of it," she
said
The girl is crying her heart out in Jail.
She does not know Edge is dead.

COOKS FOR AMUNDsEN.
He Also Thinks That Captain Scott
Reached South Pole.

New York, March I3.-Dr. i. A. Cook
who is close personal friend of Amund-
sen, left New York last night on board
the Mauretania for Liverpool, London
Paris and Berlin. He spoke before his
departure on Amundsen's dash TO the
south pole. He unhesitatingly believed
that the pole had been reached by the
Norwegian and his party OF four men.
He thought Amundsen was well equipped
for rapid run with his light, dog g-drawn
sleds. Dogged persistency was Amund-
sens strong point, said DIR. Cook, who
was in close relation with him for two
years on the Belgica antarctic expedition,
and he adopted the proper system of
feeding up his men and dogs in prepara-
tion for the final struggle His quiet,
unassuming character had prevented him
from claiming to have been first at the
south pole and also from saying that no
one else had been there.
As to Captain Scott, DR.. Cook believed
he also must have reached the pole, but
whether before or after Amundsen could
not be known until his return. lie
might have been there at the same time
as Amundsen without knowing it, for
it was impossible to take absolutely cor
rect observations, and the two explor-
ers might have been ten or twenty miles
apart. 1t was impossible to see more
than three and one half miles at the
pole However, DIR. Cook thought, Cap
tain Scott's progress was probably slow
er than Amundsens owing to the some
what experimental nature OF his equip
ment and the size OF his expedition.
DIR. Cook is to deliver nightly lectures
from April l to june |, before the scien-
tiic societies and other bodies in Ger.
many and will then attend the interna-
tional geographical congress in Europe, if
it is decided on this year.
