YOUNG WOMAN
Attempts Suicide After Shoot
ing Wife of Man With
t Whom Infatuated
(By Associated Press.)
Waukesha, Wis., June 22. Miss
Grace Lusk, high school teacher, who
' yesterday shot and killed Mrs. Rob
erts, wife of Dr. David Roberts, for
mer State veterinarian, and then tried
to kill herself by sending two bullets
into her boay, probably wilt recover,
physicians said today. Dr. Roberts,
who arrived at the house after the
shooting, asked Miss Lusk why she
had killed his wife. "I did not in
tend to, but just lost my head- when
she said I couldn't have you," she re
plied. To Dr. R. E. Davies, and Chief of
Police McKay, Miss Lusk said:
"I am sorry for Mrs. Roberts. I
hope my wounds are fatal. I never
thought I could do it. I loved Dr.
Roberts and want him now and al
ways." Mrs. Robert went to the home of
Miss Bianaca Mills where Miss Lusk
lived, to keep an appointment with
the latter. After reaching there she
called her husband on the telephone
and asked that he attend a conference
between herself and Miss Lusk. When
he reached the house, he found his
wife dead. Miss Lusk locked herself
in a room and resisted rrrest for an
hour. When further resistance ap
peared useless she shot herself twice.
A number of letters in Miss Lusk's
room were taken possession of by Dis
trict Attorney M. S. Tullar, who; said
that from some of these letters he
was led to believe that Miss- Lusk in
tended to commit suicide, but not mur
der. One letter was addressed to
Mrs. Roberts and another to Rev. W.
S. Wescott, of the Congregational
church, requesting him to officiate at
her funeral. Several weeks ago Mrs.
Roberts is said to have appeared be
fore the board of education and to
have asked for Miss- Lusk's dismissal,
alleging she was not a proper person
to be associated with the schools.
Edward Dillon, have been relieved of
all police duty and ordered to report
to Inspector Faurot, in charge of the
police investigation ordered by the
mayor.
Reports that Cocchi had been ar
rested in Bologna, Italy, brought an
announcement from the State Depart
ment that no official advices had been
received from Italy in reply to the re
quest that Cocchi be held in custody
provisionally.
The inquiry conducted by Commis
sioner Wallstein will be open to the
public and before its conclusion it is
expected that much evidence concern
ing the white slave traffic in this city
will be heard. Mrs. Grace Humiston,
the woman lawyer who directed the
search that resulted in finding the
body of Ruth Cruger buried in the eel
lar of Cocchi's shop, Is expected to
be one of the most important wit-
nesses.
