 AMES CASE

the Golden West. He was enamored Of her from the very beginning of his life at the Ames household. He was also a boon companion of Frank Ames and newspaper accounts of the suicide of Anes are mistaken.
 'Wolter was not at Palm Beach with Mrs. Anes. He was right here in Bridgeport and the morning that iAmes was found dead. Wo1ter had been with him until an early hour. Both had been around town drinking heavily the night before. Wolter a1- ways claimed that he had left Ames shortly after midnight, when Ames said that he was going to his room to cook a steak. "Ames body was foundE in his own room next morning and a peculiarity> 1 Of the case, which caused an investi- i gatiop, was that. the windows of the room were open and the gas jet was burning fully when the medical ex- 1 aminer was called.
 Wolter. conceived the idea that detectives were following him, and, 1 in fact, that they lived in the house 1 to watch him flor nearly two weeks 1 after the death of Ames. He often said to me, Those detectives are on my trait, but I did not have anything l to do with Arnes' death.'
 'tSo consistently did this idea haunt l Wolter that many months afterward | A10 IuSIOQ -1ULO James w. COX care, at 126 Wall street at night and in the greatest fear thrust a large re- i vo1ver inc Cox's hand saying:
 Here take this quick; they are after me-
 'It was with tiresome persistence was the matter and that his fear was caused by excessive Indulgence in in EtOxicants. He was disarmed.
 'Wolter was not of Saving habits. He spent freely all the moneyfthat he acquired quickly at his trade. He sell was greatly surprised about a year ago to meet him in front of my 1odg-a ings with a large sum in his possess sion. He had a roll ofs~ bills of which I saw more than $500. He said that there was $SO0 in the roll and that it was part of a $1 900 pay ment that had been made to him that day by Senator Futile against whom he had brought suit that had been settled by the payment of $1, ,000, in cluding a farm near Hartford.
 .fWoIter asked me to go to the bank on the corner of State and Main streets that he might deposit the money I went as far as the door with him. He went in and later came out and Joined me. He did not dis play the money afterwards to me. \ tI notice newspaper accounts say he was, extr reme1y jealous of mems at tention to his wife. The only person. that he ever spoke to me about was l-Nr Futile. He had a most lasting dislike for this man. On many occa- sions he spoke to me about what he | termed the constant association of l his wife and Futile. He was infuri- l ated when he thought of them. He | never mentioned jealousy of any other l person, in my presence.
 l ssAs a matter of fact when Wolter spoke of his wife to me in any other ! connection than that I have mention ed, it was with the idea of separating
 from her.
 "Mrs. wolter seemed to have a ,l terrific influence over him even be-
 fore their marriage. When absent
 from her he wanted to be far away.
 When she came near him he was re-
 sponsive to her wish.
 F.He told be on one occasion shortly
 after marriage that<he would not have
 been married to her but for the fact
 that during an intoxicated period he had taken $1OO in bills from her per | son and fled to New Haven in the
 hope-ef getting away from her 1nf1u'
 ence She had pursued him there an6
 had him arrested, he said. and 1t wa: on account of this~act that he mar
 ried her.
 ttOn several occasions Wo1ter tolC
 mes If T don't leave her I will gC
 insane"
 ;, Recently cigarmakers in this cit, with whom Wolter has been associat [ ed, noticed a peculiarity about hi eyes and conduct which made then comment that he was insane. It wa l the belief that drink had occas1onet !. this change in Wolter.
 f It is likely that the body of Wolte e will be buried in this city. His wifi 0 refuses to pay expenses of transpor CI1i1 and f11Y ! and his relatives in Chicago don 3 want to pay the expenses. A tele s gram was sent this afternoon to Chi 2 cago notifying Wolter's sister that tn :. Cigarmakers' union of which Georg EngeIhardt is the business agent, ha
 | received instructions from Mrs. Anne
 to send the body to Chicago, provide
 Ithe expenses are paid the othe
 end. Mrs Ames is willing to pay fc a funeral here, and from present 1T
 dications the funeral will be held tc
 morrow from August Bakers under taking parlors. WoIter is likely , be buried in the plot with Anes. Mir Engelhardt visited St. Vincent 1 hospital last night and sought a re , lease from Mrs. Ames of $500 in bene e fits H,ld by the union for Wo1ter. MT
 Wolter referred him to her attol ney. f It is known that Wolter possessed
 gold watch and diamond ring be v fore his death.
 WOTTE1T2 s.. OOtmOia I A note written by Wo1ter just be = fore the shooting, mailed in the post
 office a few minutes before the arrive
