OMABA. Nov. 17.—Henry W. King,
j Jr., of the great clothing firm of
Browning, King A Co., was shot and
killed this morning by a former mis
treat*. Young King had been boarding
at the Paxton hotel with a woman
ostensibly his wife. At 7:30 this
morning a fair-haired .ladylike woman:
arrived from Chicago, registered as
Mrs. H. W. King, Jr., and proceeded i
to the victim's room, calling him to!
Ihe door. A conversation ensued,
she upbraiiltng him, while he urged
her to go away and leave him. «he
finally said, with tears in her eyes,
"Harry, will you take me to break
fast? I mean you no harm." He
refused her roughly, and started for ;
the elevator.
She followed, and, overtaking him,
drew a revolver and shot him in the
ruouth. He taggered away. She
followed and fi. r ed three more shots,
wben be fell down the stairs leading
to the rotunda, dying immediately.
She rushed after him with the smok
ing revolver in her hand and kneeling
by his side, sobbed, " I've murdered
my husband." Judge Brewer of the
L'nited States district court and many
guests were eye-witnesses.
CHICAGO. NOV. 17. —The King family
is an old and prominent one in this
city, both socially and financially.
Henry W. King, Jr., was about aO
years of age and graduated from Wil
liams college a tew years agu. He
contracted an unfortunate marriage,
a* the sequel proved, cau.-inc the rela
tives much trouble and anxiety. (Sub
sequently a divorce was secu.ed. and
aince that time Harry ha- been con
ducting himself in a q iiel, industrious
manner. The hrm gave him the over
sight ol the various branch bouses
which had been e-tablished, one in
New York, on* in St. Louis, one in
Kansas City, and others at leading
points in the country, under the uni
form title of Browning, King A Co.
The Omaha branch, which is a retail
store, was e-tablished only a month or
six weeks ago.
Henry W King. Sr., says the woman
who shot his son i- not hi- former wile,
but a woman named Mr-, lterchler,
whose home is in Chicago.
Mrs. Berchler, who committed the
murder, lives in a fashionable quarter
ol the north side, w here -he ha- a child
four years old. It at)pears, according
to the statement of a servant, the only
person left in the house, that Berchler
is an alias and that the real person for
whom it stands is Henry W. King. Jr.
The servant declares that King's tirst
wife di-appeared after the divorce, and
her attorney says she is now in Europe
studying for the operatic stage. Her
name Is Carrie Walker.
Sr. Lofts, Nov. 17.—The marriage
of Henry W. King.Jr., wasannoonced
in Louisiana, Mo.. Nov. 1, although it
was claimed t:ie wedding took place
some time prior to that date. The
bride. Alice Duffy, was a daughter of
the late Hon. H. C. l'urlv, member of
the legislature from 'he Loui-iana dis
trict, some years ago. It is said that
the wedding took place at Atlantic
City, ami that the facts were withheld
from relatives and friends.

OMAHA, NOV. 12.—A reporter for the
Her saw the woman n ho did the shoot
ing, and the following is her -tory :
"I am the legal wife of Hariy W.
King. We were married about four
years ago in Chicago. We lived in
Quincy, 111., for a time and kept hott-«
at that point. We returned to Chica
go and took up housekeeping at 210
Cass street, where we lived hap
pily and |>eacefuily together until four
week- ago Before the latter dale,
however, Harry came to Omaha and
looked around for a place for the pur-
Kise of opening uf> a store.
ere he was with Mr. An
drews for a time. He returned
to Chicago and informed mc that he
had everything well under way. After
remaining lor a few days he again
-tarted out, giving me to" understand
that be was going to Omaha. I heard
nothing from him, and became un
easy.
Finally I observed a disptatch from
Kan-as City that he had married Miss
Duffv of that place. The news almost
bereft me of reason, and to be candid
I was completely stricken dumb. We
had a pleasant little home w'th all the
money, in fact everything that the
heart could wi-h at our disposal. I
loved Harry as I loved my exi-tence,
and to learn he had betra>ed me was
more than I could bear, and no doubt
is more than any loving wife's heart
can withstand.
"Well. I at once learned the where
abouts of the parents of the girl who
unknowingly took my position beside
niv husband. and I telegraphed them
that King had a wife residing in Chi
cago from whom he was not divor ed.
The parents of Miss Duffy, alias Mr-.
King, now reside at Loui-iana. Mo. I
also -ent a dispatch here to the wife,
informing her that King was a biga
mist. I -uppo-e that she got the 'tis
patch and is on her way now to Chi
cago to learn the sad news of her hus
band's infidelity, as I have learned.
"Did you come here with the inten
tion of killing Mr. King , "
"No, sir; that was not my intention
when I started I came here to have
him prosecuted for bigamy. He has
been married three times. Flora
Walker, who is now preparing to go
on the theatrical stage in Chicago, was
his first wife He obtained a divorce
from her on the ground of infidelity,
and some time after he became ac
quainted with me. His father is
wealthy and re-ides on Randolph
-treet. "Chicago. When we were mar
tied the fact tha he ha I previously
had a wife from wheal he was divorced
was never made known to me. It
came to lue in ail ils horror- when I
wa« hi- wife, but I overio >ked all of It.
although it was hart), and never did I
allow lis aeight npon ray mind in
pre«enceof Harry.
My maiden name was Kiixa Bced
ler and mv father t- a retired capitali*t
in Cbiiago. It will drive him craxy
when he learnsof this. The statement
that he got a divorce from me is un
tr e. He never intimated that be wa
de-irvus of sejvaration from me. and I
always thought that my womanly af
fections were rightly be«towed w hen I
confided them to Harry, until 1
leartiei of the facts that resulted in
this. But have you seen Harrv since?
Is he dead >"
These woni« were ottered by the
woman to the reporter, who replied
that the victim had met hi death. A*
thi- information waa imparted the
woman reeled in her chair and fell into
a s%mi-eon.-cK>u* condition, but soon
retoverrd. Wben re»|i»e-ted bv the re
porter to continue her >4ory. she aaid:
■ f eiid not come here with a deter

more than the of woman
behind all this. and the public should
sot be too butt in condemning nay

"Wben I Htr him in the ptrior this

He even scoffed at my en ire.", tie- 1
informed him that be would be prose
cated for forgery mud bigarov. and he
took me by the throat and told me to
shut my mouth. He held fa-t to my
neck, but I nerer screamed."
"If youdid not intend to kill him.
, why did you carry soch a weapon?"
"I carried it to defend my two per
son. When he treateii me' that way
and provoked me 1 concluded 1 would j
call it into other service, and in con-1
sequence I shot."
"How many time« did you shoot?"
"I do not remember, l>ut I shot to
kill each time. I was driven to it by
bis own desperate determination to
frighten roe oat of taking any action
in the matter. The revolver was a 32-

and found perfect before it came into ;

"Then TOU hare been assisted in
this undertaking?"'
My father never refused to lend j
me assistance even when a chiid at
school, and he lives to-day. Does
that explain?"
A RAVING XANIAC.
■ r*. Ming So. 3 Hopelessly Insane—
Her Antecedents.
OMAHA. NOV. 17. Shortly after 2
o'clock Mrs. King No. 3, who bad gone
to Council lilulfs the night before to
visit friends, returned to the Paxton
house with her cousin. Mrs. J. E.
Snyder of Lincoln. Somebody had
tol>! the unfortunate woman the full
particulars of the tragic event, and she
was completely prostrated. She had
to be carried from the elevator to her
room, and since then she ha- been
raving insane, with brief lucid inter
vals. Her physicians say there is lit
tle hope of her sustaining the bl>w.
At present she is under the induence
of chloroform.
This lady hit* been at different times
rilled Moore and Duffv. It was under
the former, however, that .-he was last
known. Her home is supposed to t«
in I Louisiana, Mo. Advices from St.
Louis say that she was married to
Kit e last August. Since her return
she has moved in the hijhest society
circles.
Mrs. King reported that -he had
lieeu welcomed to the family of her
father shortly after the marriage. Al
though an attempt was made to keep
the matter quiet an announcement of
the fact appeared in the papers. This
rstoched the eyes of the mur
deress. who immediately went
to Miss Moore's family in
Ix>ui«ina, Mo., and informed" them
that the young lady was living with
King, who was a "married man, in
this city. She also telegraphed to thi«
city to the late« Mrs. King. The tel
egram reached here yesterday and was
only delivered in the morning. Soon
after Mrs. King So. 3 left the hotel,
but without telling where she was go
ing. An hour later a note from Mr.
King to his wife was received by the
clerk of the Paxton. It was sent to
Mrs. King's room, but she was found
to be away. The note was returned
to the clerk and placed by him in Mr
King's box. There it was found by
that gentleman last night, who mar
velled greatly at the ab-ence of ti*
wife, who unquestionably bad been
frightened by her rival's telegram,
which contained information that she
was coming here to prosecute King for
bigamy.
I'.NDER AN ASSUMED NAME.
How the Murdered Man and His
Mistress Lived.
CHICAGO, NOV. 17. A careful inves
tigation made by repre-entatives of
the Associated Press to-night tends
to throw much light on the unfortun
ate parties to the King shooting in
Omaha this morning. The apart
ments occupied by the co iple at No.
210 Casts street are" in the fa-hionahle
part of the city, and thev bear all the
indications of "refinement and culture.
No one in the neighborhood knew of
any man named King, but tbev all
knew of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beechler.
That was the name of the
couple ss they appeared to all
the neighlwrs and trade-men. The
4-year-old boy whom Mrs. King claims
a»" her own child by King, is in reality
her own brother.
Mr-. King's folks live in Cleveland,
Ohio. Her mother lias been twice
married, her last husband's name be
ing the one under which she and King
pa-«ed while livini in Chicago.
While the couple lived in Quincy,
111 . they assumed the name of La
grande, a fly-leaf in one of the books
in the Cass street residence bearing
Mrs King's autograph, as follows:
"Libbie Lagrande, 420 Elm street,
Quincy. Illinois."
THEIR CAREER in <iUSCY.
A Timet special from Quincy, Ills.,
say in substance: Henry W." King,
or' Mr. I.egarde. a- be was" called here,
was well known in this citv. He came
here in ISB<>, bringing with him a very
stylish and handsome woman who
was known as Mr-. Libbie Legarde.
A two-year-old child was also
with them, and it was under
stood it was the child of a
dead sister of the woman Tbey all
boarded at a botl-e on Eighth 'street.
King, however, always came here on
Saturday night's train from Chicago,
remained over Sunday, and returned
to Chicago Moncay morning.
The couple removed from p'aee to
place for some well defined reason.
Mrs. I,egarde soon began to receive
the attentions ol other men. She »i<
a beaiiiifnl woman and always at
traded atten'ion when she appeared
on the street*. When she left here it
was known that she went to Chicago.

the time was devoted to hearing it- re- {

committee, the treasurer was ordered
to pay delegates mileage on the last
day of the se-sion at thie rate of four j
cents a mile each way.
In view o' the small sum reported in !

that there would be no money on band

A resolution had been introduced to ;
the effect that no action should be
taken on the question of immigration j
restriction. This was adversely re- j
ported, and after a slight debate, in ,
which the question of foreign immi- i

committee's report was adopted. This
settles that the general assembly
wishes some action taken in regard to j
the restriction of foreign immigration. I

BROTHER UUT BEATEN.
The Barry ca-e came up for consid
eration at the afternoon session. The
repott of the committee on appeals
and grievances stated that Barry was
expelled for circulating vilifying re
ports about his colleagues of the ex
ecutive board. It recited statements
and allegations made by Barry at
various times. The grievance com
mittee. by a unanimous vote, decided
in favor of the general executive board.
A long debate then ensued. George
Schilling of Chicago took the floor
and made a strong -t>eech in behalf of
Barry. General Master Workman
Powderly made a careful statement of
bis side of the ca-e. The chief points
were the same as tho-e made in his
annual address. Several other able
speakers followed, and at the end of
the debate on a roll call the general
executive board's action was sustained
by a vote of 122 to 24.
It is claimed by several delegates
that of the 24. not" m> re than half a
dozen were actually Barry's friends.
The remainder, they say. voted against
the board for legal reasons, and would
support Powderly on any question of
policy.

BARRY DECLARES WAR.
Barry .-aid to a reiortcr tvnigbt
that he was greatly surprised at the
action of the general assembly, and
-aid he was more than ever prepared
to prove every s'atenient he ha- made
relative to the doing* of the general
officers. "Sow that I have been de
nied a hearing." said he. "I shall
take my case to the higher court of
public opinion, and t>elieve. when the
proof is known, that the men who con
trol the Knights of Labor t >-< lay and
are living at the expense of poverty
will be considered the most infamous
-coundreN that ever lived, and be
come a stench on the nostrils of honest
men. I have been 22 vears a trades
unionist and Knight of Labor and n- ver
had aspeckot dirt on mi card. I appre
ciate my position of being expelled for
exposing their rascality. Tht< is all I
shall sav at present. From now on
the people mav expect to hear from
me daily until 1 have placed these
men in their true light before the pub
lic."
Barrv has a long statement of his
case which he will give to the public
later. It is said to be a detailed an 4
very sensational statement of what he
has been charging against the general
officers of the order.

Morrison streets, leaving a clerk in
charge, went down town. accompanied
: hy a friend, Charles L>. Kurd. About
ll> o'clock the young men returned to
the store, and Breck rcq nested the
vlrrk to leave the »ide door unfastened
so that he could ret in.
About 12or 1 o'clock, as Ford states,
they returned to the drag store and
Breck went behind the prescription
counter and took down a vial of a
white powder. He placed several
grains of the drug in a glass arid tilled
it with whisky and >*rank the content-.
Kurd noticed nothing unusual in hi
conduct, as he knew that Breck was in
the habit of taking quinine and whis
ky. The young men bad been indulg
ing somewhat during the evening in
stimulant*, and it is believed that at
the time of tatunr the fatal drug Breck
was slightly under the inriuence of
them.
After Breck had taken the drug the
young men started out again, but after
they had proceeded a short distance
Breck fell down and was unahie to
move. Mr. Ford immediately pro
cured a hack and took him 'to the
Holton house, little >-u*pe<'ting that
his friend had swallowed the seeds of
death. Physiciaas were summoned
who worked with Breck till ft 15
o'clock this afternoon when death en
sued.
Deceased *»< 31 years of age, un

much depressed in spirits and subject
to fits of melancholy, which fact tuav
have led up to the cau-e of his death.
