LATER -Since the above waa in type it is stated that Drake got up o:; tne tloor and opened the door to admit Dr. McCoy, to whom he stated he told tbe woman betöre tue snoot ing that he wai going to kill her and then kill himselt. He says t-he objected, because sne was afraid he would kill her, and then not kill himself. It is evident though that Drake a in tention was better than his aim. and the latter seemed to be good, but some uuforseea provi dence saved him. Tbe Times raporter was in the room where the tragedy occurred in a very few ininutee after tbe shooting. Mrs. Ward was lying upon the floor weltering ia her blood and gasping her last. Drake was also lyin? upon the Hoor, with bis hand upon a chair. He raised from this position, and falltug luil length upon the tloor, exclaimed: "Letherbe, gentlemen, at:d kill me; only kill me and I will be satisfied." lie was immediately taken in custody by Policeman Hagerty and liloominstock and Marshal Lewellen, and a few minutes after his victim breathed her labt was taken to the county jail in a carriage. His mother and brother. Councilman Drake, shortly atterwards visited the jail, and Dr. Uioe was summoned to make aa examination 01 me wounds. Mrs. Drake, however, was persuaded not to see bar aon and returned home. Dr. Kice made a thorough examination of the wounds and pronounced them not of a serious nature. The examination showed that but one ball took efleor, and that it was a glancing shot, entering back of the right ear, oomingoat about two inches above, inflicting a sculp wound only. The ear and side of the head, though, were badly burned with powder. During the examination Drake's lament waa that he had not succeeeded iu killing himself. Mrs. Ward, the victim, died in a few minutee after the shooting and the remains were taken to E. I. Huber's morgue, where the postmortem waa held by Coroner r alk and Drs. McCoy aud Morris. Tha postmortem showed that three balls bad taken ei'ecU Tbe balls entered in a triangle about an inch apart jast below the left ear. Tha first one ranged inward and lodged against the spinal column. The second passed upward into the mouth, throuen tbe roof of the mouth and lodged under the rieht eye, and the third passed upward and inward through tho base of the skull, emerging one inch above and to the outer side of the right eye, beneath the scalp. Pither of the three shots would have proven fatal. Both the people are well known in this eity and the northern part of the county. Mrs. Ward was thirty years of age and the daughter of George Cook. She was married to John Ward, but the past year has been living apart from her husband, bbe has not borne the best reputation, having been guilty of several escapades in this city. Drake ia a young man well known here, ia highly connected, aud to his love for liquor can be attributed tbe cause of his present trouble. About two years ago Drake left this eity and went to t. Louis Crossing-, where he engaged in the mercantile business, and it was at this time that the attachment between bim and the Ward woman began. They bad been intimate ever aince and were the subject of considerable comment among their friends and neighbors, and. it ia claimed, the result of this intimacy was the leparattoa of Mrs. Ward and her husband. Tbe tragedy ia greatly deplored and tbe profoandest sympithy ia felt for Mrs. Drake and other members of the family by the many friends who hold them ia the highest esteem. Mis. Drake baa euilered much in mind and body for some months past over the aotions of her wayward son. Colvmbur. June 2. tSpecial.
