HE SHOT HER.
Mrs. Rose Groner Murdered and Not Accidentally Killed by Her Paramour.
CLEVELAND, April 18.—Mrs. Rose Groner, who was killed by William L. Tucker, was probably murdered, and not accidentally shot. A post-mortem examination of the body made Saturday evening indicates that she was deliberately shot down by the man for whom she deserted her husband and child.
Two bullets were found in her body, whereas the murderer claimed that but one ball had been fired, and that accidentally. One bullet entered the heart and the other penetrated the back and lodged in a muscle. The post-mortem completely demolishes the story of Tucker. The prisoner was not told until a late hour Saturday night that he was charged with murder, and then he completely broke down, although he stoutly maintained that his mistress' death was the result of an accident.
In the police court he was bound over on the charge of murder to await the action of the grand jury.
It now develops that Tucker and Mrs. Groner had been intimate for a long time. She was twenty-five years old, and had a husband, and a child three years old, in Salem, O. Tucker, who is a tinsmith, and thirty-nine years old, is a married man, and he also lived in Salem until a short time ago. He separated from his wife last June, and went to live with the Groners. His attentions to Mrs. Groner became so marked that their relations became the subject of scandal in that city.
Mrs. Groner came here. Tucker followed her, and passed at the house where she roomed, 120 Erie street, as her husband.
