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.

There had been a little ruction a
Manhattan Beach, but it was all for

HARRISON GETS
VISIT IN JAIL
Mrs. M. N. 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

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.?
