CHICAGO, June 19-Ou the even
ing of the 16tb, near Woodstock, Ill,
Mrs. Peter Weitze, in the absence of
her husband, while her son, aged Is
years, was sitting at the table eating
his supper. seized an axe and dealt
him several bows on the head, break
ing his skull and rendering him in
sensible. She then seized a razor,
rushed upon her little daughter, aged
eight years, who was asleep on the
lounge, and cut her throat in shock
ing manner. The daughter managed
to escape, reached the neighbors and
gave the alarm. when the neighbors
rushed in.
Mrs. Weitzsl was found in her bed
room. with her windpipe nearly sew
cred. Doctors were called, and her
wound dressed. The recovery of the
son and daughter is probably hopeful ;
the mother doubtful. The family are
Germans, and poor, hard working
people. Trouble with their neigh
bors, and other misfortunes. rendered
the woman insane. 1t was her inten-
ton to destroy the whole family.
