Evans, manager of the American Transfer Company, murdered his wife, Mrs. Lillie Maude Evans, at their home, in the southern portion of the city, early today. Later he was found dead in St. Mary's Cemetery, two miles dis tant, having shot himself. Mrs. Evans was attarfeed as she lay asleep. Ac cording to a Servant girl, the only wit ness to the tragedy, Evans entered his wife’s apartments at about daylight and fired two shots at her. Neither took effect, and then, dragging Mrs. Evans toward him by the hair, he de liberately placed his revolver against the beck of her neck and fired. In the dim light the servant was un able to recognize the murderer posi tively as Evans, but Informed the police when the alarm was given that she believed she recognized the voice as his. Evans escaped and his body was found only after several hours’ search. Mrs. Evans, who was 26 years old, was a society woman. She was mar ried to Evans in 1898. Last Wednesday she filed suit for divorce, alleging drunkenness and cruelty, and at the same time brought suit demanding that her husband pay SBOO for rent of the barn occupied by the company of which he is manager. The property? Mrs. Evans asserted, belonged to her, and In addition she asked an order restrain ing Evans from disposing of two val uable race horses and other property which she said also belonged to her. Mrs. Evans attracted much attention last March during the teamsters’ strike by driving one of her husband’s trans fer wagons which the regular driver refused to take out of the barn for fear of violence at the hands of the strikers. Mrs. Evans made several trips perched on the seat of a big truck between her husband’s bams and the freighthouses, driving fearlessly through crowds of jeering strikers. Once, when some of the strikers tried to cut the horses’ traces, she lashed the men with her whip and proceeded without being fur their molested. Two years ago Mrs. Evans also gained some notoriety by horsewhip ping a man who had attempted to flirt with her.

'WILL BRING HORE BUSINESS HERE Boston & Albany Railroad Offic ials Consider Worcester a Good City for Their Repair and Ma chine Shops CONFERENCE HELD WITH BOARD OF TRADE Advantages of Worcester’s Skill ed Workmen Told to Second Vice President Van Etten — Trip to the Lake Put Officials in Happy Frame of Mind An important conference between representatives of the Boston & Al bany Railroad and the Worcester ! Board of Trade was held yesterday afternoon, in the Board of Trade rooms, ■ relative to the proposed transfer of i the Boston & Albany repair and ma ; chine shops from Springfield and Renssalaer to this city. No definite । answer was given the representatives of the Board of Trade by the railroad , men regarding their intention to move the entire machine and repair plant to Worcester, but the railroad officials । assured the Worcester men that this i city will be made a more important point than ever before so far as mak ing repairs is concerned. The conference was called by Presi dent Walter H. Blodget of the Board of Trade and there were present as rep resentatives of the railroad, Second Vice President Edgar Van Etten, Thomas B.

The railroad men'were asked to meet the Worcester men that the latter I might explain to them the advantages 1 of Worcester In mechanical lines, as suring them that there are polity of | competent machinists in the city to do all the work required by the railroad. Mr. Hastings, as the representative of the Metal Trades Association, was present to explain to the railroad men how many machinists there are in Worcester and what they are capable of doing. The representatives of the Board of Trade did not expect a definite answer and they did not sret one. although they were assured that the railroad officials । look very favorably toward Worcester 'as a site for the machine shop. They realize that Worcester possesses many advantages for them and they gave : the Worcester men to understand that | if they do not move their entirb plant i to this city they will do more repair work here than ever before. । They say Worcester Is the logical shifting point for their big locomotives, as past experience has shown, and they will <’ontinue their policy of making . the changes here.
