Snvs Infatuation for Woman Who Came Between Him and His Faithful Wife Is Ended. William Burner, who attempted suicide when called upon to choose between his wue una ivi i . ivassic ie reiiit uy biiuul ing himself through the body, on North Sixth street, Saturday night, will prob ably recover from his wound. The man, who occupies a cot at the Good Samaritan Hospital, is getting over his infatuation for the De Reign woman. He has prom ised to be faithful to his wife, who has watched faithfully at his bedside ever since he was brought to the hospital. Burner has not been told that Mrs. De Reign has been committed to the asy lum as Insane, and will likely not be apprised of her fate until he Is stronger. Mrs. Burner, when seen at the hospital last night, said that she desired to cor rect a statement attributed to the hus band of the De Reign woman, who was ntrt-1 mm blamins- Burner lor his wlft'l downfall. In giving her side of the case, Mrs. Burner said: "I have known Maggie. De Reign since I was a little girl, she having formerly lived near the farm on which I was raised, and while I knew 'William, my husband, was inclined to run around while in his cups. I did not know for a long time that he was intimate with Mrs. De Reign. The statement that Mrs. De Reign acquired a taste for liquor through her association with my husband is not so. for she was in the habit of drinking heavily seerval years before she became acquainted with William, and De Reign himself is responsible for her ac quiring the habit, for he placed liquor at her disposal In-their own home. "My home Is not the first one Mrs. De Reign has- broken up, and her husband seemingly does not care for how many more domestic troubles she is responsible. "A few days before the Saturday night affair, I had brought William face to face with Mrs. De Reign and at . that time gave him an opportunity of choos ing between us, and at that time he chose me. Saturday, when I heard that he was not at his place of employment. I summoned Mr. Magnusson, a friend 'of my -husband, and he accompanied me on a hunt for him. While walking up Sixth street I heard his laugh and soon saw him in the company of' the De Reign woman, coming out of the Model lodging house. I then went up to them and told him to again choose between us. Mrs. De Reign Informed me that I had better go about my own business and that, he bad chosen her In preference to me. Ho said nothing for several seconds, and then pulled the revolver and s'hot himself. "He informed me afterwards that he had no Intention of shooting Mrs. De Reign and that he knew she ha,d made a fool of him and wanted to end It all. I am sorry to learn of her unfortunate condition, which I think has been broughf about by drink. She told me on one oc casion that she could not get along with out strong drink, and her daughter in forms me that while Mr. Burner and she were on the trip to Aberdeen, they drank together continually, and. I ' Jlon't believe that my husband was in his sober senses at any time during1 that period, for as soon as he got sober tee came back to his home and the children."
