Tragedy Followed.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. Thames G.
Lamar, Chicago building contractor,
shot and killed his wife at Eighteenth
and Michigan avenue then turned the
gun on himself, dying five hours later
in a hospital
Lamar was jealous of his wife, and,
1t is said, her refusal to return and live
with him in Chicago caused the shoot
ing.
Lamar came here from Chicago last
spring and went into business. A short
time later, in a building deal with Mrs.
Pauline Kiefer, she swore out war
rant for his arrest, accusing him of
swindling her out of $500. That was
on July 10. The following day Lamar
married his wife, who was Miss Alice
Perry, and the couple went to Chicago.
The Chicago police we're asked to look
for him as fugitive from justice.
Soon after going to Chicago LaMar's
wife returned to her parents. Lamar
came to Detroit Saturday with many
presents for his wife and her parents
to effect a reconciliation. He went to
their home and begged his wife to re-
turn with him. She refused and he left
the house in a rage. Sunday morning
Mrs. Lamar was about to board a
street car to visit friends in Ann Ar
Dor to avoid her husband. Lamar met
her at the street corner, and when she
tried to get away sent bullet through
her heart. Lamar shot himself twice.
Lamar claimed to have an estate of
$4,000 in South America
