describing the final stand Of an Eng

Dclamater Determined His Wife
Should Live With Him.
Mrs. Delamater declared her hus-
band never provided for her support
and she had arrived ifsSs " tic esacI:ssscn =
he never would While she was work
ing in Silverton he returned from
Florida and did everything possible
to get her to join him in Durango.
He was prolific of promises regard
ing the splendid financial provisions
he was going to make for her, but
when she came back, friends say the
promises were forgotten and it was
left for her to supply the funds for
the family's support. For a short
time he had employment on the pipe
line, and after his services we're no
longer needed there, he went to Man
cos to visit his brother for time.
Yesterday he drove over to Durango,
expecting to take his wife and the lit
tie girls home with him. Mrs. Della
mater did not take kindly to the plan
to leaving her position for an uncer-
tainty and frankly told him so. Her
refusal to accompany him to Man
cos precipitated the trouble.
Deiamater's Act Premeditated.
Yesterday while making some bust
ness arrangements for today he said:
Il will do it if nothing happens, but
you can never tell what is going to
occur" 1t is said that he threatened
to take his wife's life if she did not
go home with him. Those best ac-
quainted with the couple declare that
Delamater was love-crazed.
Mrs. Delamater Was Reared in Monte
yuma County.
Mrs. Delamater was formerly Vic
toria Kramer and we are told she was
born and reared in Montezuma couu-
ty. In her late teens she became the
wife of Cassie Broadhead, who is the
father of her little daughters. Their
married life was far from harmo nious
1
and divorce followed. Shortly she
married Delamater and Broadhead
has also married. She is fine look
ing woman, Of pleasing appearance
and manner.
The little tots were asleep in the
Johnson home, where the shots were
fired. Later when aroused, the sad
news was broken TO them, but they
were too youthful to realize its seri-
BUSINESS. During the night they were
cared for at the Rochester hotel and
now they are back in the Johnson
home, where they will be kept for the
present.
Mr. Delamater. Sr., teacher in
the Cedar Hill vicinity, and his broth
er, who resides in the Mancos section,
will arrive in the city this evening.
No funeral arrangements will be
made until after they reach here. Mrs.
AL Kramer, of Silyerton, is a relative
OF Mrs. Delamater and it is under
stood is expected hcre.
Mr.. Delamater's Condition.
At the time of going to press, Mrs.
Deiamater is very low, but appears
to have slight prospects for recovery.
As yet che does not know that her
husband ended his life. During her
sepi-rational moments she calls for
him and several times has said:
"Wfy, oh why. did you injure ms
when have never harmed you IN my
lfe.'
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-10-19
Five Shots Were Fired.

Five Shots Were Fired.
Less than, a minute after Mrs. Della
mater closed the door behind her, Mr..
and Mrs. Johnson heard five shots in
quick succession, and the woman's
voice appealing to Mrs. johnson to
come to her assistance. Both rush
ed to the yard and found her Lying
face upward, raised slightly from the
ground by her elbows, and the blood
flowing in streams from her wounds.
Finding her too heavy to move with
out assistance, Mr.. johnson placed
some pillows under her and ran down
the street for help. Persons in the
Rochester had heard the firing and
were rushing to the scene and he en-
listed their services in calling for a
physician and the police officers. Re-
turning to the yard they hastily car
ried the injured woman inside the
house and placed her on the bed
awaiting the arrival of medical aid.
DR.. Richardson, the first physician to
reach her, made hasty examination
and found her condition so serious
that he considered she could last but
a few minutes, but advised that she
be rushed to the hospital. She was
placed at once in an auto and taken
to Ochsner's, where all that medical
crfarna nn,rII do 1N-n 10 Ill
ate her suffering and save her life.
She was placed under an anesthetic
The danger Of hemorrhage from the
ruptured artery was so great that for
hours her death was momentarily ex-
pected. 1t appears that Of the four
shots fired at her only one took eff
feet. One bone in her left arm was
shattered and bullet entered the in
testines on the left side, rupturing an
artery that leads to the heart. But
as only one hole was found in the
coat she was wearing, it is thought
the bullet that shattered the bone in
her arm deflected and entered her in
testines.
Delamater's Body Found Close to His
Wifes.
search in the yard at the rear Of
the Johnson home revealed the dead
body of Delamater less than five feet
from where his wife had fallen. 1t
seems that only one shot had been
required to end his life and that he
had passed away without a struggle.
The deadly weapon was beside him,
having fallen from his hand as soon
as the shot was fred.
Officers Investigate the Shooting.
Sheriff Fassbinder, Marshal Nc
Cartney, Night Marshal Garbanatti,
Deputy Coroner Hobby and Policeman
Talbot started to investigate the
shooting very few minutes after It
occurred. There was no question that
it was the act of the husband, and
the injured woman, though very low,
was able 40 substantiate their con-
clusions.
Domestic Infecility Characterized
Their Married Life.
The couple were married about a
Fyear ago and spent their honeymoon
in FLORIDA. After four months Of
welded life, they found their funds,
which had been the wife's portion,
completely exhausted and they were
stranded in IA strange land. BY some
means, Mrs. Delamater secured
enough money to pay her sxpsnssa
