   SUSPECTED WIFE A SUICIDE -- HUSBAND THREATENED DIVORCE SUIT AFTER FINDING MAN IN HER ROOM
   Port Jervis, N.Y., Dec. 12--Early this morning Mrs. Flora Wickham terminated her unhappy married life of only two years' duration by deliberately shooting herself with a 32-calibre revolver.  The dead woman's husband, J. Emmet Wickham, is the owner of a large business block in this village, on the top floor of which he dwelt.  For the past few months they had practically lived apart, each occupying a separate room and dining at a hotel at different times.  The cause is said to be Mr. Wickham's familiarity with another woman of this village, which he described as undue jealousy on the part of his wife.
   About 9:30 o'clock last evening Mr. Wickham's suspicions were aroused by the darkness in his wife's room.  He inserted a key in the lock, but it refused to turn.  Rapping the door lightly, he was admitted by his wife and found in the room an employe of the Erie Railroad, an acquaintance of Mrs. Wickham's of several years' standing.  An altercation occurred, and Mr. Wickham sumoned his attorney, O. P. Howell, with the idea of inaugurating a divorce suit at once.
   Mr. Wickham then retired, after which his wife wrote a letter to her father, James Mollineux of Milford, Penn., imploring his forgiveness, and stating as the reason of her rash act that she could not bear the disgrace of a divorce suit.  About 4 o'clock this morning the report of a revolver awakened Mr. Wickham, and hastily entering his wife's room, he saw her seated in a large rocker with a revolver in her right hand.  A bullet hole was in her right temple and a pool of blood on the carpeted floor.  Coroner Joseph Harding was called and took charge of the body.
   For twenty years previous to their marriage Mrs. Wickham was employed at the Fowler and Delaware Houses, which Mr. Wickham then comducted. She was thirty-nine years of age.
