  John Zane, an employee of the Latrobe coal company was found dead in 
his home at Latrobe on Monday with his wife standing over him holding a 
smoking revolver.  Saturday was pay day and Zane purchased a quantity 
of whiskey and beer, which the couple drank and become involved in a 
series of quarrels. It is said Zane charged his wife with being 
unfaithful.  She retaliated by taking a revolver from the cupboard and 
shooting him four times, killing him instantly.  When the neighbors 
broke into the house, Mrs. Zane dropped the revolver and fled, but was 
shortly afterward arrested.
