Mrs Vickers sho twice through the
back, stumbled from the room, drove
her automobile to a police station here
and collapsed on the floor as she tried
to describe the affair. At the Cooper
hospital physicians said she would die.
Mrs. Vickers had been separated from
her husband but recently went back
to live with him. When she revived
at the hospital sufficiently to make a
brief statement she said she had known
Fuersten during the time she lived
apart from her husband.

automobile and to the police station.
Police broke open a door of a public
room near Fuersten's apartment and
found him backed against the wall and
with a drawn revolver. The weapon
was knocked from his hand and he was
arrested.
Search of the musicians rooms re-

which Fuersten is said to have been
composing. A short ode written in

scores was dedicated to "My Lover.
