On last Monday morning at about ten o'clock Frank P. Gould shot and instantly killed his wife, Mrs. Ella M. Gould, at the residence bf her mother, MrsA.

Rulison, in this city. As many of our readers know Gould and his wife separated several weeks ago at Kansas City, Mrs. Gould, accompanied by her three young children, coming to Burlingame. A week or two after Mrs. Gould's arrival in this city her husband also came here and on Monday morning he called to see his wife at the residence of her mother with a view, it is thought, of bringing about a reconciliation between them.

Mc-Names, W. H. Conklin and his (Gould's) wife. He tried to get them aU together but had not succeeded. Belore the shooting I noticed nothing strange about him.

Alter the shooting he said he had hunted all over town for Conklin and could not nd him. E. Longley. being first duly sworn, testified as follows: lama regular practicing physi cian. I was present at coroner's inquest held over the remains of Ella Gould in Osage county, on the 28th day of March, 1687., and at the request of the acting coroner assist ed Dr.

Haller in the post moitem examina tion. We found from the post mortem two bullet holes. One of the balls struck on the rib and glanced downward and forward and was taken out under the skin and the other striking the 4th rib fractured it and passed through the lelt ventrical cf the heart and downwards through the right lobe of the liver and was found in the cavity of the abdomen. Her death was undoubtedly caused by the bul let that passed through the heart. Poth balls entered from the left side within about two inches of each other.

James Haller, being duly sworn, testified as follows: I am a regular practicing physician. Was present at the coroner's ir quest above re ferred to and at the request of the acting coro ner held a post mortem examination of the remains of Ella M.Gould there lying dead. Be fore opening the body I found there were two gun shot wounds on the lelt side, one of which was immediately in front of the shoulder blade, one inch or one and one-fourth inches above its lower angle. This ball passed downward and forward about live or six inches ly. ing over the 7th rib from where it was removed by an incision over the ball, it being immed iately miderthe skin.

The second was from one and onchalf to two inches immediately in front of the other passing obliquely downward and inward fracturing the fourth rib about four inches from its junction with the breast bone, passing through the left ventrical of the heart and right lobe of the liver the ball being found in the cavity of the abdomen. This was the direct cause of her death. It was the short cr ball that passed through the heart. There was from one and one-half pint to a quart of blood removed from the left cavity of the chest. When I was first called into the house where the deceased was shot I found her lyiug in a pantry in the northeast corner of the house.

The pantry was about five and one-half by eight feet inside. The fore-head was lying about eleven inches from the north side of the pantry, the back portion about thirteen inches from the west side, lying on the leftside of the face, the body prone, the right leg flexed so as to be two inches shorter than the lett which was traight. Some bloody water had run out of the mouth. The lelt arm was bent at rig angle over the chest so that the points of the fingers rested under the right breast, fingers extended right arm extended right angles with the body; right forearm at right argle with the arm, rather an acute angle Firgers flexed and resting two iuches above the right hip. She was dead when I first saw her.

Thi examination was mude at the heuse of Mrs Rulison in the City of Burlingame, Osage county, Kansas, on the 2Sth of March, 1SS7, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 1 p. m. of said day.

Price onlv twenty five cents a bottle- The shooting occurred at about ten o'clock in the forenoon in the dining-room at Mrs.

Rulison's home. The weapon used was an American bulldog revolver of thirty-eight calibre. Two shots were fired, striking the unfortunate victim in the left side, one of the balls passing through the heart from which death occurred instantly. After the shooting Gould went to the Shepard House, entering the hotel office with the revolver still in his hand. Mr.

Collins, Captain Delemater, W. D. Can-field and P. A. Sutton were in the office, to whom Gould remarked that he "had killed his wife." Mr.

Delamater at once took possession of the revolver and Gould was placed under arrest. He made no effort to escape and offered no resistance when arrested. His preliminary examination took place before Justice Chambers and he was committed to jail, the officers conveying him to Lyndon Monday afternoon. The funeral of Mrs. Gould took place yesterday afternoon from the Methodist church, the remains being buried in the Burlingame cemetery.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. W. Lawrence who delivered a most impressive sermon to a large congregation of sympathizing friends. Mrs.Gould was twenty-four years old and was married to Frank Gould nine years ago.

She leaves three little children, their names and ages being as follows: Millie, aged seven years, Earl, aged five and Fred die three years. An aged mother and several brothers and sisters are also left to mourn the tragic death of Mrs. Gould and to them, and the three inno cent little children, the sincere sympa thy of our citizens wTill be freely given. Our community is greatly shocked in consequence or this very sad event. Nothing of like character has ever be fore occurred in Burlingame and to those of our citizens who have for years been intimately acquainted with Frank Gould this terrible act of his seems like a dream.

It will not be denied that he dearly loved his wife and his three bright little children, and this fact makes it all the more difficult to understand how he could have com mitted such a horrible crime. May God have mercy on him! Below we publish the testimony taken at the inquest held Monday afternoon, also the verdict of the coroner's jury. Almira Rulison Veins first duly sworn testi fied as follows Frank Gould came intD my house about 9 o'clock A. on the 28th day of March, 1S37. The first I heard him say was that he wanted to talk with his wife and she said you can talk.

I could not understand all he said. He said he was coins? to have the childrep, to hich she made no reply. He fol. lowed me into the kitchen and asked me if 1 thought she would ever live with again and I said she never told me that she would not; I said to him to go away and reform. He then went into the room where she was.

"Do you say that you won't live with me?" he asked, She says. So I can't, I have tried it too often." When he first came he told her Ehe would never appear against him and the last words I heard him say was that she would never ap pear against him in court and then I heard the shot or shots. Anna L. Colby, being first duly sworn, testi fied as follows: I was present at Mrs. Rulison's house at the time the shooting occurred.

I was sitting in the room across the hall from the one in which the shooting occurred. I did not hear anything that was said. I heard a clashing noise and then hoard the children screani- ing. I think I heard two shots in quick succession and soon after I saw a man hurrying out of the gate. He had on a light brown coat.

He went out of the gate and ran eastward. I went into the room and found the deceased lying dead in the pantry. Mrs. Almira Rulison recalled testified that just a short time before the shooting Gould asked if Joseph was here? I said "no" and he said, Who just went by the window? ''I said it was a lady who was boarding here. Immediately after the shooting I went in and found Ella lying in the pantry.

She was still quiver ing when I got to her. She never spoke after tt shooting and her clothing was on fire on the shoulder at the place whero she was shot and I extinguished the lire. After the shooting I saw Frank Gould running in an easterly direction past my son's house. W. D.

Canfield, being duly sworn, testified as follows: I live in Burlingame, I saw F. P. Gould about 10 o'clock this morning a short time after the shooting. This was near Spauld-ings book store. He ca'led to me and then I went toward him.

He had a revolver in his hand. He said he had shot, or killed his wife He went into the Shepard House ahead of me. Wm. Delamater, being duly sworn, testified as follows: IsawF. P.

Gould about 10 a. m. in the Shepard House. This was on tho 2Sth day of March, 1SST. Gould came in withhis pistol in his left hand and said "I have killed my wife, do what you have a mind to with me." I jumped out of the chair and took the pistol out of his hand and asked him if he had another pistol and he said I put the pistol in my pocket and afterward hanlcl it to Mr, Haverfield and he in my presence handed it to Mr Chambers.

(The pistol was now shown and identified as the same one taken from Gould.) I saw bini about an hour before the shooting. I saw nothing unusual about him at the time. He spoke about having been. to Garden City and that the town was full of people "and a crowd about the land office. I saw no indica tions of his having been drinking.

W. H. Collins, being first duly sworn, test! fied as follows: I saw F. P. Gould in the morning before the shooting occurred and in about an hour he came into the hotel and said be had killed his wife.
