Park District. .
Wife murder, suicide and probably fatal
assault on a peacemaker ended the rage of
Walter Osgood, an unemployed ne'er-do-well
In a street tragedy at 132S Park
avenue, at 10 o'clock yesterday.
Osgood and hts wife, orttce. were in
stantly killed. Kay Johnson, a butcher,
employed at the market of Georze Vraden
beig. lol Park avenue, who struck Os
good with his fist In an attempt to save
the man's wife, received a fatal wound in
the neck. He Is dying at Bt. Joseph's
hospital.
Osgood shot his wife through the head
and. turning the gun on his own temple,
killed himself. The bodies of both fell In
a death embrace on the pavement.
The shooting was a fulfillment of
threats made by Osgood. Mrs. Ofgood. a
child-wife of but Id years, fled from him
two days ago. She sought safety In the
home of John J. Parrott, at the Park
avenue addres. where her mother, Mrs.
Jennie Florlne, was employed as house
keeper. Osgood learned of hl wife's
whereabouts and telephoned the home Fri
day evening that he waa coming up to kill
Mrs. Florlne Saturday, If her daughter did
not return to blm Immediately.
Osgood In Idleness.
Osgood had not been working for three
months, and his young wife supported both
by working as housekeeper at the home
of Ii C. flmlth at WI3 South Twenty-third
street for nine weeks, when, tiring of this,
she deserted him two days ago. He had
made his home with his wife at the Smith
residence. V'pon the disappearance of his
wife, Osgood learned quickly whero she
had gone and directed his anger at the
mother, calling up and threatening her.
"I'll sell my life cheap," he said to her
over the telephone. "I'll kill you for thla
and then myself."
True to the given promise. Osgood ap
peared at the Parrott home 8aturdny
morning, demanding his wife. The young
woman .ought safety in a bath room,
locking herself in. While Osgood shouted
hla demands and flourished hla revolver In
the face of Mrs. Florlne. tha .mother faced
him and InvlteA him a shoot. "
Kill me, if you want to," she told tbe
man, "but you must not take Grace away."
Duvlng the brief altercation Hemic Parrott-
12 years old, ran to the-livery barn
ot . Theodore Bteuben. 133S Park avenue,
and Implored Steuben to come and proteot
the women. Steuben hastened to the Par
rott home and attempted to dissuade Os
good. Osgood thereupon turned on Steuben and
ordered him gruffly away, and as he did
so Mrs. Osgood seised the opportunity to
rush from the bath room out of the house.
She hurried across the street. Intending
to reach a telephone and call the police.
Osgood pursued her and waa dragging the
young woman back when Johnson, the
butcher, Interfered. He atruck Osgood In
the face with hla fist, staggering him a
half dozen feet, and then turned to meet
the oement worker's attack. Osgood fired
at his assailant, bringing him down with
one bullet and firing another shot astray.
Shouts Kelt and Wife.
' The raging . husband then grasped hi.
wife with one arm and shot her through
the head, .hooting himself with another
bullet.
The husband and wife were probably In
atantly killed. The bodies were taken to
the coroner', morgue.
Osgood met hi. wife several years ago at
her home In Manaon. Ia. They were mar
ried against the will of Mr.. Florlne in
Omaha February 12, last.
Osgood figured in a sensation about a
year ago when he "tipped off" to the Jail
lit hnrt IhH nlannf1 eai'mio nf th 1nlrtn
p...fir tram rnhh-r. in th. roun.v t.ii .
He had been taken a. a confident In the
Plot, and feared he would be killed if he
did not help carry out the murders and
escape aa the robbers planned.
Osgood suffered arrest previous to that
time, on the charge of Impersonating a
federal officer. When deputy sheriffs
went to arrest him at Florence they wero
held off from the home of Mra. Florlne,
where he waa stopping, by Mrs. Florlne
and tbe girl who waa afterwards to be
come his wife. Later the man served a
brief Imprisonment and was liberated.

(Special Tele-

thls
morning la to the effect that the proposed
demonstration .f disapproval of ex Gov

I of thla city had been postponed until tonight,
with the view that with more farmers In the
village the demonstration can be made
more emphatic. News of Stout'a parolo
became generally known here only this
morning. "Rotten" Is the general com
ment. .
"We'll probably hang Governor Shallen

gathering in town and are a sore bunch."

had been had, and had reason to believe
that If one was had It was before Governor
Shallenberger spoke to h?m about the case
over the phone. .
In this conversation the governor asked
tha county attorney what the sentiment of
the people seen was and Mr. Cleary re
plied that at the time of the trial auch sen
timent' was that Stout should have been
hung and he knew of no great change tn
the sentiment at the present time.
, From .the further conversation had Mr.
Cleary gained the Impression that the gov
ernor would not even dream of etxendlng
the parole.
It Is expected that petitions will be sent
to Governor Aldrlch from th two counties
Immediately to recall the parole or that
tha legislature will be petitioned to repeal
the law under which thla parole was
granted.
The Indignation ia augmented here by the
fact that only a year or so ago Frank

Wallage had broken up, was paroled after
