With their 2-year-old child looking on in wonderment, Frank Rose, a barber from St Louis, shot his wife at 4 o'clock Christmas afternoon, Re killed her in their room, leaving the child lying in his dead mother’s armsand drenched with her blood. Rose wandered about the streets, re- turning occasionally to feed thelittle one, who was alone with the corpse: At 6 o'clock this morning he walked into the police station aud gave him- self up, telling of bis crime. Calmly and nonchalantly he relat- ed the story. He became convinced some time ago that his wife was un After thinking it over, he decided, over six weeks ago, to kill her if she did not change her ways. For this purpose he bought a revolver. About 4 o'clock Christ- mag afternoon she suggested that, as they were both tired, they go to bed. Thisthey did, As the childsat on the bed with them, Rose reproach ed his wife for her conduct. “Tam going to leave you,” hesaid, “If you do,” ‘she replied, “I'll follow __you wherever you go, and have you arrested for driving me on to a lifeof shame.” “Then I'll kill you,” he declared, j}arehome from Warrensburg to spend | “AN right,” she replied. “That suits me.” Going over to the dresser, he pick ed up the loaded revolver that was there. With the child’s eyes follow. ing him, he went back to the bed. His wite’s head Iny on the pillow, Placing the muzzle back of her ear, he fired. The woman did not die at once. . With an effort she turned par- tially around where she could look into her husband's eyes, and sair: “Well, Frank, 1 guess you've done it now.” George, the baby, amused himeelf, unconscious that he was witnessing a tragedy. Mrs. Rose lingered for an hour and a half. “Puta wet towel on my head, wou’t you, Frank?” she sait, as the gush- ing blood sapped her strength, and she floated nearer and nearer death. He put the towel on her foreheadan at herrequest rubbed the head, which was aching. “Kiss me, Frank,” she said, as she felt that life was almost gone. KISSES HIS DYING VICTIM. Leaning over her, the murderer, with his elbows resting in her blood, pressed his lips to hers. Feebly she raised her arm, down which the blood _ was streaming from her wound and put it around his neck. Her blood stained his hair, his clothes, his neck and his cheek. He was unmoved. “Bring that baby over where Tecan kiss him,” was the next gasping request. “Leave him in my arms,” she begged of the murderer, who lay on the bed beside her, watch- ing the blood stream from the hole by her ear, oozing into the pillow and bed clothes, trickling along her shoulder and arm, and staining her night robe and that of the babe, who literally lay in her blood. The child prattled happily. The mother grad ually drifted into unconscivusnes-, being the iufant’s chatter. Fight Will be Bitter.
