f BIG LIFEGUARD TIRES OF WIFE Separates From Fine Houses and High Life Following Quarrel WIFE IS OFF TO EUROPE Eddie Zimmerman Goes Back to His Duties at Manhattan Beach--Avoids Questions The sun looked clown on Manhattan Beach with a grin last week, the waves bounced and splashed festively and bathing youths and maidens, with legs still ]v\le from winter's imprisonment. cou'dn't keep their happy eyes off Eddie Zimmerman, most celebrated lifeguard of New York's seashore, who was back at his post after a year's absence. And three blocks away from Manhattan Beach stood the closed, empty, boarded, $120,000 villa of Eddie's multo-millionaire wife. Mrs. Reba Lane Zimmerman, open only to a caretaker and a real estate agent who has it for sale. Built New House In Vain. Down in a Philadelphia suburb an even costlier house which she had bought in the hope of distracting Eddie's wistful thoughts of the fascinating beach life, where he had spent lilteen nappy-go-iucKv summers, is you 11 p: Mrs. Zimmerman in the act of packing, it is said, for a trip to Europe. A romance that was like a red, red rose, has dropped on its stem. A break has come that both Mr. and Mrs. Z immernian reluctantly confirm. No arrangements lor a separation have been formally made. "My wife won't change her mind," Eddie said, with a pucker of his lips. "I would rather not talk about it," said Mrs. Zimmerman over the longdistance wire. There is the synopsis. Here are the chapters: Mrs. Zimmerman first came to the approving attention of Manhattan Beach in 191fi. She was Mrs. Cornelius A. Lane, second wife of a young millionaire printer of Philadel* mi 1 * 1 a HA AAA -.ill-. pnia. i ncy ouni a ^i-u,uuu vnia on a large plot at Falmouth street arid Hampton avenue that is one of the show places of the beach. It has twenty-two rooms, six I baths, a garage for six automobiles and a magnificent nursery. The first and second floors are completely inclosed in glass, the rooms proper being surrounded by a promenade deck, so to speak. The Lanes were about thirty years old then and were a pair that would have been popular even without their great wealth. They were blessed with six children and it was for the children's sake that they decided tc settle down alongside Manhattan Beach. Killer Famous Lifeguard. Mr. Lane died a few months after the housewarming in lOlfi. Eddie Zimmerman had entered the picture a few years before. Eddie became a lifeguard at the age of sixteen. He was known as "a water baby" when he was eight. He taught the Lane children to swim and every summer found him enjoying longer conversations with Mrs. Lane, who also became his bathing pupil and developed into a first rate swimmer. Not quite a year ago they were married. Manhattan Beach did not know about it until the honeymooners had reached Bermuda, and then there were columns in the newspapers about it. Eddie had given his occupation as brokei. In the winter it had been his practice to be a bond and automobile salesman. But New Yoik knows him only as Manhattan Beach's head lifeguard. After the honeymoon they returned gayly to Manhattan Beach. where the bride was astounded by the number of persons who knew Eddie. So thc\ went traveling. They visited her relatives in Pennsylvania. Occasionally they came back to Manhattan Head to the children, who had grown vers fond of their new daddv.

Stand ing sheer six feet in his bare feet with the shoulders of Ajax, a dee] brown from the Florida sun, ho par ried questions with, "Well, what d you know?" And finally: "Oh, 1 like this life?it has hecom a part of me," he said. "I know can't keop it up always.

Harrison called at the county jail, where she held a conference from her husband, who shot fataPy C. H. Hill at their home. Accompanied by a young: man, who was . taken for a relative or a close, friend, she went to Mr. Harrison's cell, whrtre she remained some little time. She came out with eyes red with crying: and face taut with the strain and anxiety that the past few hours have heaped upon her and her home. Mr. Hill died suddenly shortly after 4 o'clock one morning: last week at his home in Timmonsville. Coro .. k?I.I I Ml-I 0111 11 11 lltrui lUI IIK|Ul*>L, WHICH llfHl Mr. Harrison for the death. Generally the death caused great surprise. Not even the attending physicians, much less the general public thought Mr. Hill was in so serious a condition. Attending physicians turned him from his side, on which they had him to dress his wounds in the legs, onto his back. As they turned him over he expired. Death is .attributed to shock rather than to the character of the wounds, or even loss of blood. Since the fatal termination of the affair the attitude of Mrs. Harrison as between her husband and Mr. Hill is a question of considerable interest. She is said to maintain stoutly tluit Mr. Hill was innocent. Deputy Sher-) iff Burch held a long interview with her at. her home, but he declines to divulge the information inasmuch as it was confidential. He called upon her to see if she would voluntarily make any statement before the coroner's jury. This she declined to do. saving that she did not feel physically' et|ual to the effort. She did profess to Mr. Burch great fear of her husband under the circumstances. Timmonsville is quite excited over the tragedy because of the prominence of both parties in it. Also the unexpected death of the shot man added to the shock of the trouble. At the inquest, Dr. T. H. Houck of Timmonsville testified that Mr. Hill told him that Mr. Harrison shot him for nothing. The physician said Mr. Hill told him that he had gone to the house because Mrs. Harrison was ill, to ask her if she would like for him to go after Mr. Harrison and bring him home. The physician testified that the shot was fired at close range and death ensued from acute shock.? Florence Times. o ? When the S. S.
