Mrs. Quinn was arrested on suspicion and, after the coroner's Jury had given a formal verdict charging her with having shot her husband, she was taken to the Hyde Park police station. Later she was Indicted by the grand jury and her case set for next Monday.

The marri age, it seoiiis, was not very happy and violent cjur.rrels were frequently t'np order ni the day. One Sunday morn ing iu Juno, 1903, Thorpe was shot while s.tttng on his bed, engaged in lacing his shoes. ' WMten arrestp.i on suspecion, Mrs. Thorpo stated thai !hv husband d committed suicide.
