Tho physician advises htm lo ad mlnlstor a doso of fainting fits himself. This Is tried with gcod effect and the hus band ceases to bo n henpecked one. Mr. Drow, who looks nnd acts not unlike his famous brother, John Drew, has a splendid opportunity, ns tho husband, to exhibit his ability, which Is not overlooked for an In stant. Mrs. Drew, as tho wlfo, has a part that suits her stylo of acting to a nicety and sho handles it well.

DRAMATIC CLIMAX OF A SENSATION ConfllctliiK Statement IteunrilliiMT n Hotel Trnmeily thnt Deepens Its Mysterious SiirrtiumllnK" Story of the Woman In Case, CHICAOO. April 15. Rufus Wright, tho mllllonnlro manufacturer of rubber tires, who was shot during a sen file for posses sion of a revolver In tho apartments of Mrs. Louisa Lottrldgo, nt tho Iceland hotel, died today from tho effects ot tho wound. An Inquest will bo held tomorrow. It is tho opinion ot tho police that tho coroner's Investigation will mark tho close; of tho sensational case. A statement by tho docensed to Chief of Detectives Collcrnti that tho shooting was accidental will, It la thought, clear Mrs. Lottrldge of all re sponsibility. Wright died with words ot exculpation for tho woman whose revolver wns responsible for his death. He per sisted In saying that the woman was not to blame for his condition, and that ho had tho revolver In his hand when It was dis charged. Mr. Wright's son-in-law and partner, Fred Morgan, was at his side at deitli, Mr. Morgan held that his father-in-law was on nn errand to help a friend who had become entangled with the woman, when he received his death wound. Although ho admits ho can offer no ovl duncc. Chief of Dotectlves Coltoran strongly bollovcn that tho weapon was not In the hnnd of Wright when It was discharged. A careful examination of the position nf tho wound, ho says, will show that It would be Impossible for Wright to havo had the weapon in his hand. Captain Collcran says also that Mrs, Lottrldge said she could not remember whether the weapon wns In her band or In Wright's. Ho lso cites tho fact thnt Wright's benrd is nut singed, as It would havo been If a weftpon had been dis charged close to his hoad; his face is not mnrked with powder; In fact, Captain Col lcran says thero Is nothing to show that he held a revolver vory close to his face. Statement of the Widow. Mrs. Lottrldgo In a statement mado at the police station, Mid: "I cannot remember what led up to tho production of the revolver. I was talking to Mr. Wright when he nsked me to show him a revolver of which he bad spoken previously. I refused to do so and we talked on other matters for a while. I remember that finally I -went to my valise and took out ray weapon nnd when he saw It Mr. Wright begged mo to throw It away. Aa I remember ho tried to tako the weapon from my hand and wo scuffled. I stood up and ho wan sitting on tho couch. I had hold of tho weapon when with a sudden effort he toro the revolver from my grasp. Ho fell backward and I followed him. I managed to get hold ot the butt of the weapon he waa holding at the guard. As wo struggled tho weapon was discharged nnd bad as I felt from tho liquor I had drank. I could not help crying out In hor ror when I saw ho was wounded, He fell back on the sofa and gasped that he was shot. I laughed hysterically and told him ho wns all right. He Insisted he had been wounded nnd begged mo to call n doctor. "I told him ho was dreaming and then set about caring for him. I took a hand kerchief from his pocket and attempted to staunch tho How of blood from his neck, whero tho ball had entered. I saw nt n glance that the revolver had done deadly work, but I could not brine: myself to tell anyone of tho occurrence. I waited on Sir. Wright for two hours possibly before I summoned a doctor. I was so overcome thnt I could not talk and may have en Id things I ought not to have said, but tho pressure I wns laboring under was tho cause for my actions. "Tho story thnt Mr. Wright came to my room In the Interest of a friend Is false. Ho camo to see me at my requcot. Ho had known mo long enough to come at my least call. Ho wns In gocd spirits when he en tered tho room. We drank together and talked cf matters which concerned ourselves. Wo had a pleasant conversation until the revolver waa Introduced by chance and tho struggle which ended in hU death." BUFFALO, N. Y., April 15.
