Frank Garvin, who has lately been the
artist of the Commercial Gazette, and who
is a son of Ben. Garvin, formerly of this

Cora Redpath,to whom ho was married tho
previous Tuesday, and shot and killed her.
Part of the Gazette's account of the affair
is as follows:
"Mrs. Garvin, formerly Cora Redpath,
was a daughter of Homer Redpath, at one
time one of the rao4 noted gamblers in tho
city. She was 21 years old and was an ex
traordinarily beautiful woman. Sho was
of a gay disposition, which brought many
admirers to her feot. A continuance of
her habits was tho cause of tho tragedy.
Just a few minutes before being shot she
quarrelled with her husband. She told
him ho had not the means to furnish her
with the fine clothing and jewelry sho
wanted and she meant to call on some ol
her former friends who would provide for
all her fancies. This terrible proposition,
coolly made, drove the young husband in
sane. The wife had been seen with her
old admirers after her marriage.''
