A Swindling Renl Estnte Operator and
Ills Wife Take Poison Together.
DEs MorSEs, Iowa, May "a double suicide
occurred four miles from Bonaparte, Van Buren,
County, last night. Mr. Richard Wal1iugford
aud his wife, the victims, retired at tho
usual hour, without anything wrong
being noticed by their children
About IL o'clock son in an adjoining room
heard noise in his parents 1oom Us il some per-
son was in pain, and procuring light lie went
into the room and found his father and mother
dead, lying side by side. The son at onco
aroused the neighbors, who hastened to the
house to find the report only
too true. No marks Of violence we're
found upon their persons. Search WIS
at once made to find some clue to tho mistery.
and note written by Wallingford WAS found, ID
which 1e states that he had been impl-
Gated in a number OF swindling real
estate operations, forging deeds and other
some Of these crimes would soon be discovered,
and that, rather than endure the punishment
due, suicide ahou1d relieve him. This seemed q
sufficient explanation for Wallingford's death,
but did not IN any manner explain the motive
sh. f9r the ,a death Of o,.d Mrs. y walneto5S-
lent character and attainments, while he
Was coarse and disso1ute. One opinion is that
Wallingford had confessed his crime to his wife,
and that suicide Was agreed upon between them;
another, that he had given his wife poison
bmss and s anober then tes se
wife had done the poisoning. Several
other parties are implicated with him in the
criminal transactions referred to, and the tele-
graph has been brought into requisition to effect
their arrest Intense excitement prevails in tho
