that his wife and Glendening were
at the inn. He hurried after them

low-toned words which even those
at the adjoining table could not

His wife arose with cry, only
to receive bullet in her heart.
Before anyone could intervene
there was second shot, which
passed through Glendening's lungs

woman intended marrying as soon
as both were divorced.
