Killing1 of One Woman Through Jeal
ousy Woman Is Subject of Trial.
)
Fort Worth, Tex., March 30. For
the first time in many years a wo
man charged with murder in the first
degree is to be placed on trial In this
city next Monday. The defendant in
the case is Mrs. T. M. Brooks, wife of
x prominent attorney, and her trial
upon the charge of having shot and
killed Mrs. Mary Blnford, department
manager of a local dry goods store,
is to begin next Monday in the Sixty-
seventh district court. .
The crime with Which Mrs. Brooks
is charged, was committed on Januar;
16 of this year and is believed to have
been prompted by Jealousy. N.ither
. " Brooks nor her husband have
shown any inclination to make a state
ment that would indicate the tause of
the tragedy,' but for some time ther
have been rumors strongly hinting
that Mrs. Brooks did not live happily
with her husband and that she be
lieved her husband's affection had
be:n alienated by Mrs. Binford, who
was divorced about two years ago and
was considered a rather fascinating
and handBome woman. It is expected
that at j the coming trial some light
will be thrown upon the relations be
twe:n the defendant and her husband
and between the latter and the victim
of the tragedy and this prospect has
greatly intensified the public interesr
In the casr.
Whatever may have been the mari
tal complications,' whether Mr
Brooks' Jealousy was well founded or
based merely upon a tissue of her own
imagination, is still a myst;ry. At
all events, however, it seemed real
enough to the defendant at the time
of her desperat: deed. Armed with
a bl,g, old-fashioned revolver, Mrs.
Brooks, on the afternoon of January
16, made her way to the dry goods
store, where Mrs. Blnford was em
ployed. While sh?. passed through the
whole length of the lower floor on her
way to the elevator, Mrs. Brooks met
many acquaintance. Smilingly she
bowed and stopped several times to
chat pleasantly with her friends, not
one of whom suspected for a moment
that a few minutes later Mrs. Brook
would be the chief actor in a trag:dy.
Mrs. Brooks took the elevator to
the second floor of the establishment
where Mrs. Blnford was employed. As
she Btepped from the elevator Mrs.
Brooks luquired where she could find
Mrs. Binford, and as the latter ap
proached, Mrs. Brooks, without say
ing a word or giving: any warning.
pulled her big revolver from her muff.
Mrs. Binford,. realizing "her danger.
grappled with Mrs. Brooks and tried
to wrest the weapon from her. Her
strength was no match, however, for
that of Mrs. Brooks ami the latter
quickly freed herself and forced the
other woman agamst the wall. In
the scuffle the weapon was discharged
the bullet plowing Its way through
Mrs. Binford's hand.
With her victim at bay, Mrs. Brooks
stepped back and .fired four times. The
second ball struck Mrs. Binford in
the left .shoulder, the third one inch
higher, and the fourth entered the
base of the neck, shattering the spinal
vertebra. Just before hsr victim sank
to the floor, Mrs. Brooks fired again
the bullet striking Mrs. Binford be
hind the ear, coming out through the
top of the head.
There were probably a hundred or
more witnesses to the tragedy. Shop-
pert and clerks alike seemed to be
paralysed by hysterical fright and
without hindrance Mrs. Brooks passed
through the crowd and reached the t f-
flce of her husband, two blocks dis
tant She handed the revolver to her
husband and with the murmured
words "I am sorry." she sank to the
floor unconscious. Later sh? was ar
rested and after waiving irellml
nary trial, was released untie. S10.-
000 ball.

SCHEDULE K OPPOSED.
Baker Commercial Club Petitions Tilt
on Wool Schedule
Not only is the National Wool
Growers association protesting against
the Immediate revision of ' schedule
K which deals with wool and wool
ens, but many other organizations in
the west are protesting because of
the effect It will have on the wool
market, says the Baker Herald. '
The Baker Commercial club today
sent the following message to Presi
dent Taft: .
Baker, Ore., March 29, 1911.
Hon. W. H..Taft, '
, Executive Mansion, x
Washington, DC. '.
It is the sense of the legislative
committee of this body that schedule
K be not revised at this time. The
wool growers soon will have their
clips on sale and .any agitation will
have a demoralizing effect on the ma.r-
keL.' ' ...
As the tariff board is collecting
data for the use of congress; showing
the cost of producing wool In this and
forei-. jc-j-ii;c8i w aeem It wise to
postpone revision of schedule K un
til this board submits its report Ic
