Dies Within Two Hours of Self-Inflicted Wound in Left Side.
Immediate remorse for the slaying of his wife presumably prompted Herman Frazee last night to shoot himself with the weapon which a few seconds before claimed the life of his mate as she sat in the home of her parents here. The wound caused his death two hours later.
Incensed by his wife's decision to spend the night with her parents rather than accompany him to their home. Frazee slipped to a window of the parents home and fired a shot which struck his wife, who was unaware that her husband was on the premises full in the face.

WENT INTO YARD:
Numerous footmarks near the window coupled with the time which intervened before the terrified occupants of the home heard a second shot from the yard, indicated that the killer stood for a second or two gripped by the sight of his dead wife as her had fell backward, before he turned the gun upon himself.
A pool of blood indicated the spot, some 20 feet from the house, where Frazee stood as he fired the shotgun with the charge entering his body just below the heart.
Retaining consciousness, he staggered to the street and was seated on the curbing as officers arrived in response to a call from the home.

FEARED OF BEATING
Telling her parents Mr. And Mrs. William Clinton that he husband had been drinking and became enraged when she told him that she, fearing a beating if she accompanied him to their home at 702 North Division street, would spend the night at the home of her parents. Mrs. Frazee went before 10 o'clock last night with her parents to their home near the end of New York Avenue on Highway 34 in the southwest corner of the city.
Following the quarrel downtown, concluded officers from later developments, Frazee drove to his home and secured a 12 gauge-repeating shotgun. Then he drove his automobile up an unpaved street, which lies north of the Clinton home and left the vehicle about a block from the house.

ACROSS TRACKS,FENCE
In the darkness he found his way over a fence across the railway tracks and over a second fence as he made a stealthy approach upon the house. In his haste he failed to latch the gate of the chicken yard as he passed through.
Footmarks showed his route around the house as he gained a front window, which gave him a view of his wife as she sat in the second room from the window at which he stood.
They were not more then 12 feet apart as he raised the shotgun and fired a charge, which shattered a section from the windowpane and struck her full in the face. Although approximately 50 leaded pellets were patterned over the upper portion of her body, the major force of the charge struck the throat and the point of the chin.

BROTHER IS HIT
Pellets in the edge of the pattern struck Carl Clinton, brother of Mrs. Frazee, who stood near the radio in front of which his sister was seated. He suffered minor wounds on the left arm.
Stunned by the effect of the unexpected shot, occupants remained in the house until they heard a second shot, a few seconds later.
Policemen William Hiatt and Fred Seely, found Frazee on the curb as they answered the alarm. Frazee pleaded that the policemen kill him and refused in that request, asked that he be given something to stop the pain.

LIVED FOR 2 HOURS
Taken to the Greater Community hospital here, he died at 12:20 this morning, but little more than two hours after the shooting, which was shortly after 10 o'clock.
Dr. A. S. Beatty, Union County coroner who arrived a few minutes after the shooting, stated his belief that Mrs. Frazee had lived but a few seconds.
The time which Frazee clung to life, considering the gaping wound opened in one of the more vital portions of the body by the shot, was amazing, said the coroner.
NO FORMAL INQUEST
Classing the related incidents as murder and suicide, the coroner this morning stated that no formal inquest is deemed necessary.
Mr. And Mrs. Frazee aged 40 and 29 respectively had been married nearly 12 years.
A threat by Frazee, that he would kill his wife created no undue alarm Saturday evening, stated a member of the Clinton family this morning in view of the fact that on previous occasions he had made similar threats when his wife insisted on staying with her parents rather than brave the probability of a beating upon occasions when he had been drinking.

"I'm paying for it now, said Frazee as officers rushed him to the hospital.
