tragedy permeated with jealousy,
misunderstanding and mad love.
In the stiffness of the evening at
the Seaside hotel, while the guests
were laughing and dining, the last

tragedy was enacted. A pistol held
in the hand of Wagner flashed for an
instant in the light thrown on it by
an automobile, then five times in
quick succession it barked.
The second bullet, aimed at Charles
Guhck, the chauGeur whose machine
they had rented, missed; the first,
third and fourth entered the body of
the woman, killing her, THE last shot
he saved for himself, turning the pis-

limited by the court to introducing
only evidence showing acquiescence
