Curiosity Draws Stream of
Persons to View Tragedy
Wrought by Jealousy of
Nathan Killing.
BURIED TOGETHER
Gully Remains Weak From
Loss of Blood-Repeated
Probes Fail to Disclose Lo-
cation of Bullet.

Into one large grave the bodies ol
Nathan Killing and Jessie Killing, his
wife. were laid to rest this afternoon
ct Earlham cemetery. side by side.
Tuesday night Killing, crazed with
jealousy and because his wife refused
to return home with him, shot he,
through the head as she reposed on g
couch at the home Of relatives, 800
Richmond avenue. He committed
suicide in a barn In the rear Of the
house after attempting to kill his son
in-law Lee Saunders, Laurel street
and seriously wounding Patrolman
John Gully.
Serve az Pail Bearers.
Members Of the family without ex
ception agreed that there should be
double funeral service and that man
and wife In death should be together
as In life. Members Of the family also
served as pail bearers.
Last night a most unusual NANTES
tation of morbid crowd curiosity was
Witnessed at the morgue where the
two bodies were. Men and women
poured into the building for two hours
the same as though they were being
attracted by melodramatic film at
a movie" theatre. A little after 8
O'Clock men on duty at the morgue got
the crowd out on the street, then lock.
ed the door.
Crowds Visit Morepe.
when the night caretaker unlocked
the doors shortly before 6 o'clock this
morning a man was waiting to see the
bodies. He lad no sooner left than
other people began to arrive and from
that time on until noon there was a
steady stream of visitors to the
morgue.
The condition of Officer John Gully,
who is at his home, 21 Southwest
Second street, was somewhat improv-
ed today but he is very weak from
shock and loss of blood. The bullet
which struck him first inflicted a
slight wound in his right wrist and
then entered the right leg close to the
groin. Every effort to locate the ball
by probing has failed and it is prob
able that an x-ray photograph will be
taken of the wounded leg.
Although Gully was wounded in the
performance of his duty he must pay
out of his own funds the expenses of
medical and surgical treatments. The
city, however, generously keeps him
on the payroll while he is incapacitat-
ed.
Coroner Morrow will begin his in
vestigation of the double tragedy to-
morrow.

PERJURY COUNT
CONFINES SLICK
IN wayne JAIL

Thomas Slick. u, of Greenville, O..
was arrested early today at Union
City, Ind, and is in the county jail
here charged with perjury, on an in
dictment returned yesterday by the
grand jury.
The arrest Of Slick is the second
chapter of court proceedings brought
in this county against him.. Prosecutor
Keller last week petftioned Judge Fox
to open divorce granted Slick in 1919
so that other steps could be taken to
abrogate the Decree. Slick has since
married a Pennsylvania woman.
The charge Of perjury carries with
it a, penitentiary sentence Of two TO
twenty-one years. The trial will be
held in April.
An effort will be made to straighten
out Sticks matrimonial entanglements
so that neither of his wives will be
embarrassed by the affair in the fu-
ture.
It is said Slick started his efforts to
secure divorce in 1910, when he
filed complaint at Gallon, o. On his
wife's cross-complaint the court there
ordered him to pay Mrs. Slick alimony,
but he was refused a divorce. He then
tried in other Ohio courts, but each
time Mrs. Slick heard of the attempt
and prevented the granting of a de-
cree. BY use of false affidavits, one
alleging his wife deserted him in 1900,
the aged man was able 20 be divorced
in this county, and he went Immediate
ly to Pennsylvania where the second
marriage was performed. The di-
vorce was granted October s, 1913.

BOARD CHECKS
WARM DISPUTE
over LIGHTING
Schwegman and Knopf Grow
Restive in Argument Over
Removal of Lamp From
Saloon Corner. /

Location of street lamp at the cor.
ner of South Fifth and D streets to-
day provoked one of the hottest dis.
putes heard by the board Of public
works in many weeks George
Schwegman, who lives on the south.
west corner of South Fifth and D
streets, and Louis Knopf, who operates
a saloon on the opposite corner, bonn.
barded each other verbally with such
vigor that President Bavis was forced
to demand suspension of hostilities.
Gentlemen, l protest against such
actions" shouted Mr.. Bavis. This
board refuses to be dragged into a
neighborhood brawl."
Knot demanded the removal of
the lamp to it's former location, about
a third of block south of the corner.
Schwegman opposed such action, say
ing it had taken him three years to
have it placed on the corner. The
board refused to act. saying that coun-
Gil had ordered the lamp placed where
it now is and If it was to be removed
to its former location council would
have to instruct the board to that ef-
feet.
Petition Asks Removal.

Waterman, who was responsible for
having the lamp changed. a petition
signed by twenty-five property own
ers asking its removal from the cor
ner He will present it to council.
Schwegman heatedly, informed the
board that the Knopf saloon was a
nuisance to him without lamp on
the corner. He said automobiles con-
gregated on D street at the side of
the saloon in summer.
IF he is running a place in the
way it should not be run why doesn't
he want the lamp on the corner?" de-
manded Schwegman.
None of your business" shouted
Knopf. who then explained that there
was one street lamy $50 feet from the
corner, another 100 feet and the corner
was sufficiently lighted without hav-
ing a lamp placed on the corner.
This man Schwegman has a grudge
against me and he had the lamp
placed on the corner to spite me-"
Knopf said angerly.

however. They were adjudged unde-
sirable and ordered returned to the
German ship. .....
A new sensation developed when it
became known that her captain was
still holding the papers of the Ameri-
can bark William p Frye, which the
German warship sank on January 81.
The papers have been demanded by
Collector Hamilton, but thus far the
German commander has not yielded.
Collector Hamilton made the follow.
ing statement:
Up to this time the master of the
German craft has not conceded the
right of the master of the FRYE to his
papers, and is holding them, contend
ing that they should be held and sent
to Germany. where certain questions
concerning the destruction of the Am.
erlcan hull may be decided by a Ger
man prize court. The captain of the
Prinz Eitel. however, agreed to de-
liver to me copies of the Frye's papers.
but l have requested that he hand me
the original papers and keep copies,
and he now has this request under
consideration"
While wireless dispatches reported
eight French and British cruisers rush
ing toward the Virginia coast to lie
In wait for the Prinz Eitel, the United
States began a formal investigation
OF the sinking of the Frye. today. Col
lector Hamilton, acting upon instruc-
tons from the state department, board
ed the German vessel by appointment,
with her captain. Commander THE
rfchens. to secure his version of the
destruction of the American ship.
That the German embassy at Wash
ington regards the inquiry as being OF
was shown by its action in
sending here Captain Boyd, its ma
val attache.
The German flag drooped over the
stern of the Prinz Eitel this forenoon
in token that her captain had not vet
decided to let the ship be interned.
In this connection it was stated that
twenty-four hours notice had been
sent to the German commander to
leave the harbor. this was a matter OF
form and no actual ultimatum would
be delivered pending the results of to.
days inquiries There is no doubt that
If the Prinz Eitels captain should elect
to leave his refuge and if the United
States should permit him to do so, the
ship will run into a Gordon of war
ships from which it will be unable to
escape.
