An amazing tragedy is reported. James Pauley, of Chicago, aged 54, chairman of the board of directors of the Miami Coal Company, and a leading figure in the fuel business of the United States, shot his wife and then committed suicide.
They were a wealthy couple, and had been invited to a Thanksgiving Day dinner ut the home of a millionaire friend, Mr. William Bode, who waited an hour for them, and then went to fetch them from their apartments at the Ambassador Hotel;
He discovered Mrs. Pauley dead in a chair. She had dressed for dinner, and had sat down to work-out a cross-word puzzle, when she was shot through the temple. Her husband then apparently stepped back into a bathroom and took his own life in the same manner.
Pauley was known as the conntry's chr. pion strike settler. No motive is known for the tragedy.
