Mrs. Minnie Anderson. Who Was Divorced One Week, Pleads With Man to Re marry, Then Attempts to Murder Him
WOMAN DIES
 IN HOSPITAL
Midnight Tragedy on Street Crossing in Residential District-Resulting From Unrequited Affection of Woman for Man

Broken hearted because the man who had divorced her less than week ago. ignored her entreatieS :o take her back and begin life over again. Mrs. Minnie Anderson, aged about thirty years, shot Albrecht An derson. her former husband, shortly after II o'clock last night, and then convinced that she had killed him. turned her revolver upon herself and sending q bullet crashing through her brain inflicted a wound from which she died at 1:30 o'clock this morn ing. The double shooting occurred up- on the cross walk at Sixth and Mon roe streets and was witnessed by Walter Juncker, witt. whom Anderson has been living at 1902 East Van Buren street, since the separation.
 Within short time the woman had been removed to the Sisters Hospital and the injured man to house occupied by man who claims to be painter. named Daniel V. Schmidt, at 512 East Monroe street City Physician w. Fl. Sargent who arrived at the scene shortly after word had been received at the police station. announced that there was lit tie that could be done for the woman who was unconscious and was sinking rapidly
 Visiting the Schmidt home where Anderson was lying upon a lounge Dr. Sargent made q curSory examina- tion and stated that the wound was not of a serious nature. He asked f he could not be taken care Of there for a few minutes until he could ascertain just where the bullet was lodged but Schmidt was insistent that the man be gotten away from his place as quickly as possible. Schmidt even hindered efforts to secure from Anderson the details of just what had happened. directing that there be n" delay in taking the man from his house and insisting that he be not permitted to talk unless a lawyer was present. He seemed to be la boring under the impression that An derson was guilty of some sort ut a crime instead of being the victim of an unfortunate tragedy. Instead of permitting the injured man who was
 perfectly conscious and who offered i'
 walk out of the house if the doctor and police would permit, to make a state ment which might explain away any thing which might reflect upon him.
 he exercised his perogative of man of the house and issued important or derS. Just to humor him the police and neWspa permen withdrew until the ambulance arrived and removed his unWelcomc charge.
 Hardly year ago the Andersons i were married. For d short time they were happy. Then something hap pened which resulted in the woman going from home. This is said to 1 have occurred more than once during the short time and finally Anderson 1 entered suit for divorce. The decrec
 was handed down in Superior court 1 only last Tuesday.
 1 Mrs. Anderson s metime ago was , employed as waitress in the Ameri- 1 can Kitchen. She is said to be the 1 woman who about year ago accuS- ed the caretaker of East Lake Park with having insulted her at the park and caused his arrest
 ] Since the separation. according to | Anderson, she had no regular place
 of abode. Last evening he stated
 that he did not know where she had been living since the divorce was granted. He admitted that he hal | been followed by the woman for sev-
 eral days and nights and that he had
 been afraid that she meant harm.
 We were divorced only last Tues
 day and since then 1 do not know
 where she has been staying" said
 Anderson at the Schmidt home des- pite the interruptions of the painter. | She has seen me several times since | then and each time has begged of me to take her back. But l just couldn't do it. There was no use ot our trying to live together
 How is She?" anXiously inquired
 Anderson when Dr. Sargent announc-
 ed that he had just come from the corner where she lay upon the street just where she had fallen after she turned the gun upon herself
 There isn't a bit of hope, replied the doctor.
 Say rather that there is hope
 please doctor,' urged Anderson.
 l Where is she?" he resumed.
