SLAYS WIFE WHO
SRORNED HM
Mrs. Cora MM. Wi. Ernst Shot In
Pittsburgh; Dies Instantly
WOMAN WANTED DIVORGE

ers Urged Her to Return to Husband.
Mrs. Cora M. Ernst, aged twenty-
oae, was shot five times and’ killed
by her husband, William H. Ernst, at
the latter's home, 844 Estella street,
Pittsburgh.
The shooting followed a family con-
ference in which Mrs. Ernst’s mother,
‘itwo brothers and an aunt had par-
| ticipated. The four latter had come
[2 from their home in Frostburg, Md.,
in order to reconeile Mrs. Ernst and
her husband. The woman's mother
stood close by as Ernst whipped a re-
volver out of his pocket and emptied
the five chambers into his wife.
Mrs. Ernst asserted that sie would
not consent to a reconciliation, but
that, on the contrary. she would seeX
a divorce and would marry anothe:
man.
‘When arrested, following the
tragedy, Ernst stated that “it was
“this other man who caused my home
to be broken up.” He declared that
the “other man’s” name was Roger
Sweeney, aged twenty-three, and that
he lived at 4826 Second avenue
where, since leaving her husband in
| January, Mrs. Er: st, too, had residzl
i “Well,” said Erazt slowly, accord-
ing to the police, after his wife had
refused her mother's and his sugges-
tion that they live'together again, “it
I can’t have you no other man will.”
Then with a quick move to his hip
pocket and before the woman could
rcve from her position in front of
him, the police say, Ernst thrust a re-
velver in her face and fired until the
weapon was emp'y. The wife dropped
to the floor of the parlor, lifeless. Two
of the bullets had pierced her neck.
Ernst is a freight conductor on the
Pennsylvania railroad and is aged
twenty-four. He said, according to the
police, that when his pleas failed te
bring his wife back to his home, he
went, several days ago, to Frestburg,
| where his wife’s family resided. There
he conferred with Mrs. Amelia Walsh,
his wife’s mother; Gilbert: Walsh, his
wife's fifteen-year-old brother, and
Mrs. Hannah Wetzel, his wife's aunt.
He said that they all sympathized
with him and expressed a desire to re-
unite his home. So they came to Pitts-
burgh and took up quarters at his
house. They brought with them Pren-
tiss Walsh, aged eleven, amother
brother of Mrs. Ernst, who, with his
mother, brother and aunt, were in the
parlor when the tragedy occurred.
As the woman lay dead on the floor
Erast asked his mother-in-law te sum-
mon the police and he gave himself
up as seon as the officers arrived. On
the table in the dining room in the
year of the parlor, where the woman
fay dead, there were plates for six.
Mrs. Walsh had expected that the
eonference would be successful and
that all would have their Sunday
night dinner together in a reunited
family circle.

TT is Wotan, greatest of the geds, as Clarence Whitehill, famous basso
Orchestra of 102 pieces. Mr. Whitehill has been acclaimed by the critics of
New. York as without rival in the role. In “Siegfried” Wotan, disguised as a

Valkyrie Brunnhilde sleeps. Being vanquished by Siegfried, the god vanishes
for all time.
Wotan has but one eye. Long before the events of the music drama, an
