New Orleans, June 16.-William
Sullivan, Jr., on Tuesday fatally
shot his girl wife, Ethel Aline Rich
ter, 1S years old, through the lung
and then sent bullet into his own
brain. from which he died later, as
a sequel to the unhappy enaing of
what the people hereabouts call
their sFanny Hurst experiment"
Two weeks ago the divorce courts
of New Orleans brought to light
that Sullivan and the Richter girl
had been married in Violet, La, and
had agreed to keep their union
secret until the girl shoul@ have fin
ished her high school career. In
fit of jealousy Sullivan boasted of
his marriage. The father of the
girl objected vigorously to the
match and soon afterward followed
the suit for divorce.
TUESDAY morning at 9 o'clock the
girls mother, Mrs. Kerth Savers,
saw Sullivan behind a tree in the
back yard of her home. His, face
betrayed the passion that was ru!-
ing him. Frightened for the safe
ty of her daughter. she ordered him
to leave the premises.
With an angry shout he dashed
past her and into the kitchen, where
he found his wife standing before
the table and washing dishes. A
shot rang out and the mother, fol-
lowing him. found her daughter "
ing on the floor bleeding profusely
from ragged wound from the bull
let. which hal' entered the left
shoulder.
Sullivan rushed from the house
and when just in front of the tree
where he had been seen first by
the mother turned back and re-
entereS the house. where he came
uuon his wife living in pool of
blood. Quickly he raised the pistol
to his head and sent the bullet
crashing through his brain.
Sullivan hovered between life and
6eath an the Charity Hospital here
for two hours. Without regaining
consciousness he died at Ills
o'clock.
When told that the man response
BILE for the tragedy had died. Mrs.
,Sawvers said:
"It's Gods will Perhaps it is all
for the best"

lat;Cn of IS, 100. This was determined

araolc expense IN having the recount
