MRS. ALEXANDER CASEY
Arizona Republican Newspaper
November 15, 1903

A story of domestic trouble comes from Tucson, the latest 
chapter of which was the suicide on Friday night of Mrs. 
Alexander Casey at the Willard Hotel.  She took carbolic 
acid and died in great agony.  In a bible was left a note 
stating that trouble between herself and husband had been 
made by a Tucson man named A.W. Smith.  Her husband is now 
serving a six months term in the county jail on a peace bond 
while a charge of assault with intent to kill is hanging over 
him.  He conducted a hotel in Tucson and a few weeks ago came 
home and began shooting things up.  Officer Pacheco arrested 
him but in doing so received a bullet wound in the arm.  
Casey is overcome with grief at the death of his wife who 
it is understood was using all the influence she could to 
secure his release from jail.
