Shoots His Wife.

.¶ Daniel McCarthy, a Chicago printer in the employ of the Poole Bros. Company, of 316 Dearborn street, Tuesday morning shot and instantly killed his wife Addie. The murder is said to be the outcome of a separation and quarrel which occurred May 3. McCarthy is 32 years old, while his murdered wife was but 20. McCarthy, so his friends state, returned to his home on the evening of May 3 in an intoxicated condition. His wife was the subject of his abuse and he concluded his evening’s carousal by beating her and turning her out of the house. Since that time she resided with her mother, seldom leaving the house, as McCarthy, so she stated to friends, had threatened to kill her. His threat was executed.
