FATAL CAT SCRATCH.
Causes Blood Poisoning and Death
of Mistress.
NEW YORK, Nov. SO. Mrs
Frances R. Gammon la dead from
the scratch of a pet cat. She lived
In the Bronx, a widow of means, 36
years old and handsome.
Mrs. Gammon took the cat to bed
with her when she retired at nlgbt.
It ate with her and she pampered It
In every possible way. Two weeks
ago the Maltese, In a sudden fit of
temper, scratched her on the left an
kle, but she paid little attention to
It. The wound, although at first
only a slight scratch, would not heal
Mrs. Gammon treated It for several
days, and when her leg began to
swell and become Inflamed she call'
ed In Dr. J. Fabrlccus.
She complained of terrible suffer
ing In her legs and the lower part of
her body. Dr, Fabrlccus saw at once
that sbs had blood poisoning, but
even then Mrs. Gammon would not
turn against her pet.
Dr. Fabrlccus said tbat when the
disease reached the stage it had In
Mrs. Gammon's case there was no
combating It. The poison had spread
upward through her body and there
was no drug or operation known to
the physician which could check the
advance of the gangrene.
"The woman must have died in
the most frightful agony," said Dr.
Richardson of the coroner's office,
who went to the house today Imme
diately after Mrs. Gammon's death.
"I have never seen a human body
so terribly affected by blood pois
oning. There was no way to fight
the disease; It simply ha dto go on
until It reached the heart."
The physicians say that they know
of no similar case. Persons have died
from the bite of a cat affected with
rabies, but not from the scratch of a
cat, apparently not suffering from
hydrophobia. An effort will be
made to find the cat rnd Investigate
Its condition with a view of finding
out how the animal, by a mere
scratch, could communicate such a
disease.

Ml'KDKItS RIVAL.
A Groom of Two Days Killed
Jealous Man.
by
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nor. 27.
A. B. Newell Is murdered, bis assas
sin, Fred Swingle, Is a suicide, and
Mrs. Newell Is a widow, after being
married but two days, for the third
time In ber life. All this Is the result
of Insane Jealousy on the part of
Swingle, the tragedy taking place at
the Newell home at Amboy, two
miles from Yacolt.
For the past three years, until re
cently, Fred Swingle was a farm
hand for Mrs. Rose Huffman, who
owns the ranch on which her hus
band was murdered last night. On
several occasions Swingle has pro
posed to Mrs. Huffman, but she did
not return his affection.
Murderer Drinking Heavily.
Swingle bad been drinking heav
ily recently and had made the widow
several proposals of marriage. He
acted very Jealously when Newell
called at the home and Mrs. Huff
man discharged blm. He left In a
rage.
Several months ago Newell ap
peared on the scene and, becoming
acquainted with the widow, negoti
ated to buy her farm for $3000, pay
ing her $1000 cash In hand and
giving her two lots In this city, val
ued at $2000. Together the two
went to Yacolt Tuesday to make the
transfer. They evidently had grown
fond of each other, for when Newell
proposed marriage he was accepted
and they were married Tuesday
night In Yacolt.
Mr. and Mrs. Newell returned to
the farm home that night and the
next day were Joined by William
Boyd ,a son of Mrs. Newell by her
first husband. He Is 1 7years old
and has been attending the Yacolt
schools, living with W. J. Hogue, the
mayor of the town. Learning yester
day of his mother's marriage, he
went to her home to meet his step
father and to spend Thanksgiving
day.
Swingle Congratulated Couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Newell and the lad
were In the dining room at borne and
were making preparations for a big
celebration. A knock was heard at
the door and Mrs. Newell Opened it.
To her surprise, Fred Swingle stood
there.
She Invited hi mln, ready to for
give the past and to make him wel
come. Swingle congratulated the
man and wife upon their marriage
and wished them a long and happy
life.
Newell thanked Swingle for his
good wishes and bad no more than
spoken when Swingle pulled a 3S
caliber automatic Colt's revolver
and opened fire. Five of the bullets
crashed into the head and breast of
Newell, who fell at the second shot
Mrs. Newell, frightened at the sud
den attack, and pursued by the Jeal
uos Swingle, who held the smoking
gun in bis hand, succeeded in get
ting to her bedroom, closed the door
and locked It before her pursuer
reached It. He stood In front of the
door, deliberately reloaded his gun
and fired several shots through the
panels, attempting to kill Mrs. New
ell, but she was not Injured.
Blows Out Own Brains.
Realising that he could not kill the
woman. Swingle coolly placed the
revolver against his head and fired
two shots Into his brain, dying In
stantly.
Mra. Newell's son escaped the
wrath of the crazed Swingle. He
pulled Swingle's body from In front
of his mother's bed chamber and re
leased her. Comforting her as best
he could, he went to Amboy, two
miles distant, and summoned assist
ance. The bodies of both Newell and his
assassin were brought to Vancouver
today In the same car for burial.
Newell leaves three sons.
Mrs. Newell's first and second hus
bands died natural deaths, the sec
ond one dying at Amboy about two
and a half years ago.
Persons who knew Swingle say
that be threatened to murder the
whole family, but little attention was
paid to the remark, as he waa
known to have desired to marry Mra.
