Wife's Rash Deed.
It seems probable that Mr. and Mrs. William Adamson, 757 Adams street northeast are united in death. The suffering husband was released from his worldly pain Thursday morning of last week at 11 o'clock at St. Mary's hospital where he had been taken to undergo a severe surgical operation. It is almost certain that his wife, crazed by the thought of losing her husband, to whom she had only been married eight months previous, threw herself over the steel arch bridge into the swollen waters of the river. On Tuesday all hopes of saving the husband's life were abandoned by physicians and the wife was told to prepare for the worst. She bore up as bravely as she could but the blow was too much for her deranged mind. She conceived the idea of meeting him in heaven and no mortal man could keep her from following her mad desire.
She said she could not live and be happy and for that reason thought that death with him would be her last earthly pleasure.
Mr. and Mrs. William Adamson, parents of her husband, tried to dissuade her from her purpose. They pointed out the madness of her whole scheme. She would not be heard, however. Time and time again she repeated her intention until finally relatives gave up all hope of saving her. Wednesday, therefore, when the report that a young woman had thrown herself over the steel arch bridge came to their ears members of the Adamson family realized that she had made good her threats. The body has not been recovered.
The funeral of William Adamson, the young husband who so bravely struggled for months against the ravages of disease and who finally succumbed after several operations at St. Mary's hospital, was held Saturday morning last from St. Anthony of Padua church. Requiem mass was offered up for his soul. During his long illness he suffered intense agony but his faith in God and his religion made his burden lighter and he passed away peacefully. He leaves a father, mother and several brothers and sisters residing at 757 Adams Street N. E.
