Cincinnati, Ohio, 22 March 1900
Coroner Schwab, in his verdict in the case in which Charles Adams was killed, used the following language:
"Charles Adams came to his death from a pistol shot wound in the brain, inflicted by Jessie Adams, wife of the deceased."
Mrs. Adams appeared today in the police court and was held to appear before that court on April 12, in a bond of $5,000, which was given. A singular circumstance in connection with this case is that the mother of the dead man, Charles Adams, has paid several visits to Mrs. Jessie Adams in the county jail. In one of these it is said she assured the accused woman that she would give her a home in the future.
