M, Chambers’ Property-Chambers Orders Him to Leave and Shoots Him Through the Heart—Bowman's Extensive and Interesting Matrimonial Experience. St. Louis, Oct. 22.—Frank J. Bow- man, the well known lawyer, who has figured in so many matrimonial troubles here and in Chicago, was shot and in- stantly killed by B. M. Chambers at Ferguson, Mo., eighteen miles west of this city. The killing grew out of the trouble between the parties over the old Times newspaper, Chambers was a large stock 4 and principal owner of the per up to the time of its demise. wman was also financially interested in it. He bought among other things the Associated Press franchise with the paper and has been in litigation over the matter ever since, How It Happened. Bowman, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Garrett, of St. louis county, called at Mr. Chambers’ home, in Fer guson, for the purpose of levying an at- tachment on Chambers’ life interests in his wife's estate, or whatever property he might able to find. Chambers met Bowman and Garrett at the gate. Bowman said, “I have come to levy on your property.” “All right,” responded Chambers, and he entered the house, Deputy Sheriff Garrett afterwards ex- plained that he thought Chambers had gone to get some papers, He was mis- taken, for in a few minutes Chambers stepped out into the yard with a double barreled shotgun in his hands. “Get Out Quick.” “Garrett, you get out of this place and get out quick,” he said. Garrett walked away. “Now, Bowman, I'll give you three minutes to get out of these grounds,” continued Chambers. Bowman did not move and in an in- stant Chambers raised his gun and poured the load into Bowman's heart. Chambers then coolly walked into his house to await arrest, while Bowman's body lay in a pool of blood in the yard, nobody venturing to touch it until the coroner arrived, A large crowd im- mediately surrounded the place, but there was no demonstration, Badly Mixed Matrimonially. Bowman practiced law for many years, and about three years ago re- moved to New York. Previous to his | departure he figured in a couple of scan- | dals. He sued his wife for Ao and afterwards compromised her suit on a cross bill, paying her a large sum of | money. Then it was given out that he | had married a woman in the east. As | soon as this became known a Chicago woman, who claimed a common law | marriage with Bowman, sued him for divorce in Chicago. The Chicagocourts | decided the woman was his wife and | gave her a divorce. This left Bowman badly mixed matrimonially, Chambers was president of the Butch- ers and Drovers’ bank of thiscity, which | failed a dozen years ago, and afterwards | bought out the old Times, staying with the paper till it failed.
