^ SHOT HIS WIFE _ N JU TV. Horn Oot His Owi Worthless Brain Willi a Pistol DID NOT LIVE WITH HIM . The Husband Became a Convict and Through Sheer Necessity, the Wile Claims, She Drifted to the Stage as a Means of Making a Living for Herself. There was a terrible tragedy enacted In Washington on lniat finmiov when W. H. Short, of New York, shot and perhaps fatally wounded his girl wife in the union railroad 6tation because she refused to leave the stage and live with him, and then sent a bullet crashing through his temple. He was taken to the hospital where he soon died. The tragedy followed a series of quarrels between the couple. Mrs. Short had just alighted from a cab, which was also occupied by her husband and Miss Caldwell, a girl friend, and was hurrying to catch a train for Pittsburg when Short, without warning, whipped a revolver from his pocket and fired three bullets into his wife's back. The woman, who now lies near death in the Casualty hospital. Is known to the stage as Evelyn Howard, and played in Washington last week with the "Motor Girl" company. She wsB formerly Evelyn Lewis, of Jacksonville, Fin., and married Short, who is a native of Livingston, Ala., about seven years ago They lived in New York, where ho whs employed as a bookkeeper in a bank, but soon after their marriage the man got into the clutches of the law through alleged misappropriation of funds. Mrs. Short told the police when she regained consciousness at the hospital that Short served a term In Sing Sing. Through sheer necessity Mrs. Short said she drifted to the stage as u means of livelihood. Short recently was paroled from nrl onn Mro Q\x ^*.1 1J 1 * r. .vuui una. uuvi i eiiiu, Hnu maao a new start In life. When she declined to return to him, hu followed her. She persisted in her refusal. Accompanied by Miss Maude Caldwell, another member of the company, she left her hotel for the station. She vainly tried to elude her husband, who followed hor and pleaded with her again to turn from the stage. When they reached the statiou Short made his final entreaty and when he was again rebuffed the tragedy ensued. To eye witnesses it appeared that Mrs. Short, much terrified, had Jumped from the cab drawn up at the west portion, and had attempted to run when Short pulled hiB revolver and, rushing at the woman, fired a bullet into her shoulder. She fell at the first shot, and the man stood over her and sent two more bullets through her body. Without a moment's hesitation, evidently believing he had killed his wife, bhort turne^ the revolver upon himself and sent a bullet into his right temple. He fell at the feet of his unconscious wife. Miss Caldwell was detained by the police as an eye witness, but upon ..Short's death soon afterwards she .was released and was permitted to i proceed with her company to Pltts:b'urg. In the room which Short oc'cupied at the hotel the police discovered a card, bearing the following' words: 'William H. Short, representative Autollte ^Manufacturing Company, Seiflighting Cigarette. 339-341 Sixth Avenue, Newark, N. J." Short was apparently without funds. He had made two Ineffectual attempts to get checks cashed, it is said. SNATCHED FROM THE DESERT. Family of Five id Found in Exhausted Condition.

CHARGED WITH MURDER |( DETECTIVES TRACE SUSPECT AND ARREST HIM AT HOME. Apprehension of the Man the Skeleton of Whose Bride Wm Recently j Discovered Near New York City. . The arrest of Frederick Oebhardt. or Otto Mueller as be was also known, in New York, was the culmination of an exceptionally competent piece of detective work. The skeleton of the body of Anna Latter, who had been married more than a year ago to Otto Mueller, revealed a murder; the bones showing two bullet wounds. A gold watch found near the body bore 1 the Initials "A. L." and there were ! also memoranda indicating that pur- c chases had been made in a small < town near Hamburg, Germany. 1 The German police were acquaint- t ed with these facts and they quickly i disaovered that the Durchaaett in. r dlcated In the bllla bad been made f by Anna Latter, who a abort time t before bad been married to an Otto I Mueller in tbls country and who { was tben on ber honeymoon with t her husband to her old home in i Germany. The Hamburg police informed the detectives here that when i Mueller and hlB bride returned to 1 tbla country Mueller brought with i him two dogs of the variety used t Tor police work. ? The local detectives working on i the case, investigated the records of ? the German steamship lines and I found a memorandum of a pnssen- s ger who had reached here about that i time wtih two such dogs. Through 1 an express man the dogs wore trac- I ed to a bouse in the Astoria part * of New York City. I It was there that the Otto Mueller, now under arrest, was captured as i he was entering the house where i he waa known as Frederick Gel)- i hardt, and where he was living with t the wife he had married four years i ago, through a matrimonial bureau, I and with their two children. I According to the police, Gebhardl, which be says is his right name, ad- ] inltted that he had temporarily left 1 hi? real wife to marry Anna Lat- 1 ter, that he had gone to Germany < with her, as described, but that she l bad left him without explaning a few days after their arrival in this country.

The uneral services will be held at Trial- t y church at 4 o'clock this afternoon. s Vlr. Duncan C. Ray, former attorney t (eneral of the State, last night paid t he following tribute to Mr. Rey- j lolds: "On the death of John S. Reynolds, j South Carolina has lost a devoted t nan and Columbia a faithful clti- e '.en. I enjoyed an intimate acqualn- t anoe with Mr. Reynolds for over a* H luarter of a century, commencing (?t the King's Mountain Military fi *cbool at Yorfeville. where Mr. r Reynolds was a teacher and I was ^ i pupil. Mr. Reynolds was then a r -ecent graduate of the South Caro- t Una univtrsity, to which inattio:ion he remained a devoted admir- ^ *r and aealous friend, ever support- ^ ing her cause with teal. v "For si* years Mr. Reynolds re- j malned at Yorkville, becoming the , right-band of that gallant soldier and eminent Instructor, Col. Asbury ? Coward. During Mr. Reynold's stay t ?t Yorkville he w-as a frequent coo- , tributor to tho newspapers of the j 3tate, writing with ease and grace. , "During the winter of 1876-'76 ( Mr. Reynolds severed his connection with Col. Coward and entered upon the practice of law in copartnership with lion. Henry A. OaiUard and at the HSine time he. with the lamented 1 R. Moans Davis, conducted the Fairheld Herald and later the Wlnnaboro News and Herald at WlnnBboro. j "During the great struggle for mtilt. ?

The great campaign of 1X76 resulted in victory to the cause he loved ao well. Mr. Reynolds laid aside hiF red shirt to devote his time and energy to law and Journalism, winning marked success in each profession. "In 1886 Mr. Reynolds removed to Columbia, of which city he remained, with a short intermission of a few months in 1889, an active, useful end honorable citizen until hia death. During hia residence in Columbia he was connected at different times with The Record. The Register and The State newspapers, his editorials being always eagerly read, more especially those in the Sunday edition of The State. "In 1896 the citizens of Richland appreciating Mr. Reynolds' character and ability sent him to the legislature as a member of the lower house, and there he rendered splendid service. Mr. Reynolds especially felicitated himself upon having the Reynolds printing bill passed. Prior to the passage of this bill the legislative printing was not let out to competitive bidders and all ths work was done by a political favorite who thus enjoyed a monopoly. The Reynolds bill did away with such favoratism and saved the State large 9um6 of money. In 1892 Mr. Reynolds was apnolnt v.? wuii iiMiuritsn, w 11 iv (l place he filled to the day of bin 1 death with fidelity. He enjoyed the j friendship and confidence of the su- . preme court Justices for whom he sntertalned the highest regard. During his incumbency of the position 6 of librarian Mr. Reynolds was frequently retained by lawyers from ill parts of the StAte to assist them before the supreme court and well t did ho perform his part and con- J tribute to the success of the cases In which he was engaged. "Reference should be made to Mr. Reynolds' career during the Confederacy. Too young to enter the Confederate nrmy he nevertheless saw jervlce in the field when the corps of \rsonal cadets under Col. John P. Thomas retired from Columbia before Sherman with the rest of ilamplon'a army. Owing to his service >u this occasion, he became a loyal iiember of Camp Hampton of Con'ederato veterans. Early in life Mr. Reynolds was happily married, his vlfe having fc<>en Miss Sue Edwards, vho survives him with Beveral chilIren. "John S. Reynolds was no ordinary nan.

Country stores were burgallzod and large , , quantities of goods stolen. Farm | houses were robbed. Occasionally a stock raiser, en route home from , market after dark, was stopped aud , | the proceeds of bis sales removed. It became evident to the autio'l iJs that a gang of rebbcts wan ope ating but all efforts to make an arrest failed. Detectives and police we t looking for male robbo.* They , never suspected womeu were do;ug the persistent thieving. As with success the band grew bolder, town residences and stores In the heart of the business sections of the small cities were visited and robbed. Instead of taking merchandise the robbers now confined their efforts to cash and Jew, elry. taking only such articles as could be easily carried and were of good value. All sorts of traces could be secured. Abundant clews were left behind, but these traces and clews could never be run down. Footrlnts in the mud beneath a win i aow mrougn wnicd nn entrance bad been. made showed men of normal , size, and nothing was gained from , this by which the robbers could be , discovered. i W. D. Cromie owns the largest store in Woodbine and sometimes has a large amount of cash on hand After the robberies became frequent Croiuie hired a trusty man to sleep In his store and was very careful not to let this fact become known. Two weeks ago this watchman was i awakened by a peculiar noise. At a rear window he heard low mutterings in rather shrill voices. Then came the sound of a glass cutter . and one of the panes of glaaa was neatly removed. Then through the hole made by the removal of the , glass a leg was pushed. The watch man waited in the store, his revolver cocked In hand. But, instead of using the gun. he stole noiselessly forward and, Just 1 when the boly coming through thi window was in the most awkward and helpless position, the watch- 1 man grabbed both tho legs and gave 1 a Jerk forward. Right through the window came the body, and as it | < struck the floor the watchman pin-11 loned both arms over its head. A 1 wild shriek rang out. It was a high 1 treble voice. 1 "It's a woman!" gaaped the watch- i man. The two robbers outside took to their heels and disappeared in the darkness. The watchman dragged the prisoner to the light, tied her hands and ralaed an alarm. The prisoner was recognized as |. Mra. Fred Lind, despite her disguise. '' This consisted of top boots, trousers, a Hhlrt, cost and hat. giving her all the appearance of a man. These articles proved to be her husband's 1 clothing, which ahe had altered to ] fit herself.
