The wounded ! man escaped, and was carried away to an old mil) y two of his companions who then left him for dead The burglar was found the next ; morning and taken to Brookville jail, where his life hung on a thread tor several days. At the end of two weeks his condition had improved and for a month following it was ; thought tliat he would recover. During the latter part of July ae suffered ; a relapse, however, and when his [case came up for trial at the August ; term of court he was unable to attend.

We are prepared Thomas Mack, a well-known colored restauranter, of Brookville, was slashed with a razor last Thursday about noon and - died about half an hour later. It waa at first reported that he had committed suicide, but the evidence brought out at the coroner's inquest on Friday morning points to the suspicion that he came to his death at the hands of his wife. The Macks kept a restaurant on West Main street and It was In apartments occupied by them on the second floor of the building that the tragedy occurred. Mrs. Mack had returned from a tr.p to Atlantic City on Tuesday, and. it Is said, had frequent quarrels with her husband during the two days following. Thursday at noon Mr. Mack left ihe restaurant in charge o, Chester White and went up stairs io dinner, soon after which the clerk and several patrons of the restaurant heard violent quarreling In that quarter. As that had grown to be a customary proceeding no attention was paid to the matter until Mrs. Mack came down stairs to announce that her husband had committed suicide. Neighbors soon gathered in the house where they found Maca terribly slashed about the head and neck. His wounds were such that physiclaims were unable to staunch ihe flow of blood and he died at about 12:30 o'clock, p. m. A coroner's inquest was empaneled and several witnesses were examined Including ihe wife of the dead man. ] Mrs. Mack was unable to give a satisfactory account of the affair and after contradicting herseli in several Important statements the case was submitted lo the Jury, whlcn brought In a verdict that Mack had come to his death from slashes made on his neck by a razor in the hands of Mrs Mack. A coroner's Jury was empaneled issued by acting Coroner Walker, and Ihe woman was immediately arrested and committed to the Brookville Jail by Ihe Deputy Sheriff. It is said that Mack was in the act. of taking off his coat and was in a helpless condition when attackeu. Mrs. Mack's clothing was found to have been saturated with blood and Ihe authorities are confident they nave a strong case againsr her. Saturday Mack's body was shipped to Hagerstown, Maryland, his former home, for Interment. The victim was about 32 years of age, and was formerly employed in the American Hotel restaurant, where ho was well and favorably known. Cast of Characters.
