Both are Likely to Recover From
Their Injuries.
The story of the shooting of Mrs.
Melvin Karth by her husband and
his subsequent attempt at suicide at
Salt Lake, which appeared yesterday
exclusively in the Journal, has arous
ed considerable Interest in mis city
where the couple were quite well
known and where they resided for al
most a year. There was consider
able speculation as to whether or not
excessive drink the cause given by
Mrs. Karth was really at the bot
tom of the trouble and later devel
opments conclusively prove that her
statement was not correct.
Last night it was acertalned that
Karth and his wife were both still
alive and that it was believed they
would both survive their injuries.
Their chances for recovery It was
stated by the attending physicians
on Friday morning were very fair
and unless complications which were
not looked for set in, indications
were that they would both be able
to be out of the hospital ln a com
paratively short time.
The investigation into the case of
the tragedy by the police, resulted in
their conclusion that jealousy was
at the bottom of the matter. De
velopments showed that Mrs. Karth
had met a man named Marcus G.
May, proprietor of the Teddy Bear
Cleaning works, at Salt Lake, about
one month ago and had fallen ln love
with him, transferring her affections
from Karth to the new flame. This
came to Karth's notice and he was
roused to an insane rage. He at
once took a layoff from his work
with a butchering establishment in
the city and started out to investi
gate the stories which had reached
his ears. He had very little trouble
apparently in finding corroborative
evidence of his wife's faithlessness
and made plans to kill both her and
May.
With the latter end in view he call
ed at May's home and told his wife
that he intended to kill her husband.
He told her of what he had found
out and that after he had killed May
he would kill Mrs. Karth. Mrs. May
pleaded with him not to kill Mrs.
Karth on account of the children of
the family, but she admitted to the
police she didn't ask any clemency
for May and, as he had transferred
his affections to Mrs. Karth, it didn't
make much difference to her if he
was shot. It was after this inter
view that Karth started out on his
murderous expedition. He had been
drinking all day the day before the
tragedy and when he left home for
his work, he had made up his mind
to slay May and then return and
kill his wife. He went up town but
May had fled and he then came home
and at first refused to talk to his
wife. He afterwards commenced to
accuse her of Intimacy with May and
began abusing her. He told her at
this time that he intended to kill
her. The little son of the couple.
Paul, stood beside bis father and
heard the terrible words which the
frenzied man poured out upon the
woman. Quarrels between the cou
ple were so frequent that the boy
did not regard it as anything new
and especially had this been the case
since Karth had found out about
May. Suddenly Karth drew a small
revolver as told in yesterday's paper
and opend fire with it. The woman
was wounded as told ln the paper
yesterday, in the shoulder, the head
and the hand. The bullet which
struck her head knocked her doww
and the little son started to run
toward her when Karth threatened
him with the revolver, bo he Bays,
and he turned and tried to get out
of the house. He found the door
locked and on turning saw his fath
er slash himself with the butcher
knife and fall to the floor. In get
ting away from the crazed father,
the boy stumbled over a chair and
wrenched his ankle. The remainder
of the Btory Is Identical with tnat
printed yesterday ln the Journal.
The story of the trouble which was
told by Mrs. May, the wife of the
faithless husband in the case, and
which employes of May's cleaning
establishment confirmed, was that
May became acquainted with Mrs.
Karth about one month ago. It
seems that May was taken with the
woman from the start and after they
had talked matters over awhile, he
offered her a position ln the estab
lishment as a clerk. Mrs. Karth
seems to have been equally enamored
of May nnd accepted. When she.
told Karth that sho was going to
work for May, an ugly row ensued
anil ho protested vigorously. It did
no good for the woman went to work
just the same and then affairs reach
ed such a stano that there was no
question aa to the relations of May
and his clerk.
Mrs. May's story follows: "I used
to look out or the window in my
little home and see my husband
caressing Mrs. Karth over in the
cleaning works. When I 'spoke to
him about it he would not answer.
About two weeks ago he made a date
with Mrs. Karth and the two were
out until midnight. I think the
husband of the woman found out
about them that night for he came
around to the cleaning works to
make Inquiries on the following
day. He also asked me what I
thought about the case, and I gave
him my mind just as I knew the sit
uation to be. This revelation seemed
to break Karth's heart. He thanked
me for telling him and went home
very despondent."
Then followed the tragedy, one
which it was sought to blame upon
liquor but which plainly is caused
by the faithlessness of the woman in
the case.
It has been learned ln connection
with the case that Karth's name' was
Melvin and that he and his wife had
lived around over eastern Nebraska
for many years, he being an expert
butcher and having worked in shops
in the larger towns throughout the
state. The couple had had a stormy
and tempestous married life and the
woman had frequently been the
cause of talk. Karth himself was
not rated very high personally in
most of the towns either. The cou
pie resided for Borne little time at
Fremont where he was employed
during the summer of 1906. He was
considered an excellent butcher by
the firms in that place, although the
papers state his personality was nev
er above par. Mrs. Karth's actions
there were not such as became a
wife and mother either. They fln
ally quarreled while there and Mrs
Karth left him and went to Omaha.
Karth then sold out his household
goods and also took his departure. It
was some little time after this when
they came to this city and made
again. Their subsequent llf and
troubles here were told in yester
day's Journal. ,.

Funeral This Afternoon.
The funeral of the late William F.
Leuchtweltf took place this afternoon
from his late residence, the serv
ices being conducted by the Rev. V.
L. Austin. There was quite a large
attendance of sorrowing friends of
the young man, he having lived in
this vicinity all his lfe and beng very
well known. There were a laree
number of floral offerngs from those
of his friends who could not be pres
ent at the obsequies. The services
in addition to Rev. Austin's sermon
consisted of appropriate music, sev
eral of the sacred songs so familiar
In life were rendered. Rev. Austin's
sermon was an able and eloquent
tribute to the many ercellent traits
of the departed and bore upon his
fortitude in the long trial and suf
fering which was his lot through
disease. The sermon brought tears
to the eyes of many of those who
heard it. Following the sermon, the
remains of the excellent and worthy
young man were laid at rest in Oak
Hill cemetery, the last rites being
performed by old friends and neigh
bors who had known him since child
hood and whose grief at his death
was that of the loss of a son or
brother.
Some Fish.
Lee Bates and Elias Kildow this
morning had an exciting time with
a mlnature whale which they snared
upon a line ln the Platte. The gen
tlemen had Bet several lines on the
river yesterday and this morning
went out to run them. They also had
a pole line and after baiting that
hook they cast it into the river and
started to run the set lines. Hardly
had they done this when they ob
served a great commotion in the
waters and Bates yelled at Kildow
to seize the pole as there surely was
some whale on It. This he did but
he found that be could not handle
the line and the fish by himself and
he called for help. ' Bates rushed to
his assistance and they slowly towed
the whale to shore. As soon as the
snout of the monster appeared above
the surface the men decided upon
capturing It. Bates slid down the
bank into the waters and soon a
terrific hand to hand combat ensued
between the monster and the man.
Bates is some man though and he
finally secured a strangle hold on
the fish and chocked it into insen
sibility. He then hurled it out on
the bank where it was found to be
a channel cat of nine pounds in
weight. It is a fine fish and well
worth the trouble it cost to get it.
