been a happy one. We frequently quar
relled. Mrs. Wllloughby was Insanely jeal
ous of me.
Met His Affinity.
"Matters went on this way for years.
Four years ago, while I was on my way to
New York, I met a woman on the train.
Our acquaintance ripened into love. Then
for the first time I realised I had met a
woman I truly loved.
"This woman also was living an unhappy
life. Her husband was cruel to her, and
soon after I met her he deserted her and
her two srflall children. I then began to
support her. We became Intimate and have
been so- for several years. Two years ago
she obtained a divorce, and since that time
I have been providing for her and her
children. She Is now living In Chicago.
"My domestic affairs did not Improve
and a long time ago I decided that I would
end it all. How to do it was what both
ered me, and for some months I have been
planning a way. I began to collect chloro
form. I bought It in small lots and began
to keep It until I had a bottle of tha drug.
This 1 saved until I might decide to carry
out my plana.

"I decided to end It all this morning.
After my wife had fallen asleep I obtained
the chloroform and then , I shot her. I
then fired two shots into my breast, in
tending to shoot myself in tha heart, but
I failed. I did not have any tnpre cart
ridges, so I decided to hide tha revolver..
That is the whole story."
Wllloughby Is 60 years old. His wife was
three years his junior.
Laid Deed to Birglan.
After killing his wife and shooting him
self Wllloughby had dragged himself down
stairs to the basement, opened the side
door so aa to make It appear that burglars
had committed the deed, hid the revolver
In the wall of the basement and then
telephoned for a doctor. When the police
were notified they were Informed that a
burglar had shot both Mr. and Mrs. Wll
loughby, but when the officials arrived they
at once concluded that it was murder and
attempted suicide and later ebtalued the
confession from Wllloughby...
