I told him that they must nol think of such a thing. He aald that he could not stand the disgrace of being- called a thief, particularly wbea he did not deserve It The other fellows I don't know their names they told Frank If be would give Marcovich a heating they would help him and stand by him. "This talk took place id the afternoon.

I tried to make Frank forget It, bat every once in a while he would speak about It and I knew it was worrying In the evening we went to the liberty theater and Frank seem, t'l to forget It and I thought he had taken ray advice -about leaving Marcovich alone. DRINKS WITH WIFfil "We came home from the play and as we were taking a fclte of supper here at our home, he remarked that be would go down town to see some of Ms friends who were also friends, of Marcovich and see if he could hot straighten this out He said that Marcovich would not dare to accuse htm of having stolen the money. If be did, Frank said he might as well get oat of Oakland for he could not stand to have his friends think he would flo such a thing. He less excited about It and I said perhaps it would be a good thing to have some friend talk It over with Marcovich. We had nothing to drink to speak of a glass of beer or so with a sandwich.

He sat there talking it over with me when he said that he would likely meet this friend however it was, I don't know If he went down town at once. He left and I thought no were about It. "I was preparing to go to sleep when he came rushing into the house. He stayed about three' seconds it seemed to me. He said he had shot Marcovich nd must leave me for awhile.

Then be ran out of the room and that was the last I saw of him. WIFE FEARS MURDER. "Oh, I am sure he will kill himself or try to shoot the officers before he allows himself to be taken." moaned tbe girl-wife as she clasped her hands convulsively. "I was dazed paralyzed. For a few minutes I could not understand what Frank meant My mind was a blank.

Then when he was gone, I knew that something dreadful had happened. But even now I cannot realize it It seems like some hideous nightmare 1 dressed and waited. In a few minutes the room was with police police, detectives, friends and newspaperman, all asking me whereFrank was and other questions. I could hardly think. I have been up all night trying to fla-ure ont how have goten himself to do1 such a ter- rBje.ung.

He had never nntil yesterday spoken a word vlch and during the ten months or. so ms ne naa woraea ror him, I thought they had always been friends. "Poor, heart-broken how sorry I feel for heriV.Tou know wuvy uve- own married only about half a year or so. and this must Just abcht be killing her." tears of sympathv rolled down her cheeks as thoughts of the other. woman's bitter grief came to- her." "Frank has ruined my life.

He has ruined hi own-iifef be Msesnd he has broken up another heme, and all for nothing all for nothing." she paused in grim recollection of what had happened and in the anticipation of the day would bring forth. "I dread to see anyone I tremble to think of what yet happen. Frank most have lost his wlts he must have been out of his nund. Ordinarily, he is quiet, -good-ratured and easy-going; but when he loses his temper there is no telling what -he may do. He has no control of himself.

WIFE MAKES EXCUSES. "But I know that those other men who were discharged egged him on." sho mused, her affections for the fugitive husband trying to make some excuses for the murderous "Frank had no gun. They must have g5ven it to him when he left last night. Perhaps he had an appointment wi lb them. I am sure that he is not alone in this, even If he did do it alone as the papers said.

He never owned a gun, and I know he had none with him when he left here after the play. fTsn't it awful to think of such a tliinr hannentna- a mn? aha aaWxt piteonsly, as If demanding to know why she should be made the victim or a man's lnnsane fury. At the Smith residence on Fourteenth street a number of sympathising friends were gathered to comfort the young wife and do what little they- might to soften the blow of it. Mrs. Smith looks like a school-girl, and despite the night's black anxiety, rer youthful face was unmarked with the grief that her tears and manner so plainly expressed.
