MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT
IN ATLANTA HOTEL

Death in Room-Wife
Arrested Pending
Investigation

Atlanta, February s5.--"I don't think

Gods work." sohbed Mrs. j. A. Apple
baum at the coroners' inquest late to-
day over tile body of J. A. Applebaum. a
Chicago travelling salesman. who was
shot and killed this morning in a local
hotel. A few minutes later the wom-
an was led TO jail at the order of the
coroner's jury to be held pending an
investigation of the tragedy by the
county grand jury
Mystery surrounding the shooting of
Applebaum recalls the strange details
in connection with the attack on Eu-
gene H. Grace. for which his wife, Mrs.
Daisy Opie Grace Of Philadelphia, re-
Gently was tried here and acquitted.
After a series of domestic difficult
ties and an unsuccessful attempt at
suicide by Mrs. Applebaum three days
ago, the Chicago travelling man was
found dead in the bathroom of his
apartment-in local hotel Three bull
let wounds from a .32 calibre pistol,
two in the right arm and one in the
lchest, caused death. Theories of murder
and suicide both have been advanced
combining to form a mystery which
was deepened with the examination of
witnesses at the inquest this after
noon.
Was Cruel and Abusive
Mrs. Apple baum, hysterical and inco-
herent at the inquest offered no solu-
tion to the mystery. Declaring that her
husband was cruel and abusive she
told of a quarrel with him last night,
brought about by an alleged attempt on
his part to wrest from her diamond
necklace and diamond earrings.
"All night he was trying to get my
Jewels" she said shortly after mid
might he pushed me out of the room in
my kimona. Finally he let me return.
He kissed me and hugged me and tried
to get me to give him my diamonds
When l refused he threw ice water on
me.
Later he threw me on the bed He
pulled a pistol, showed it against my
breast and then drew out his watch
IT'S o'clock now he said. I'll
give you just five minutes more to
live"
To repeated interrogations the wom-
an replied: That is all l remember.
don't believe l shot him.
Much of the testimony in connection
with the quarrel was substantiated at the
inquest by A. Cohen, a commercial trav-
eler occupying the adjoining room to

startled by the three pistol shots shortly
after 7 o'clock this morning. He ran to
the telephone, and calling the clerk said
