In q room at tho Chambers Street Hospital yester-
day morning. man passed quietly AMI resgnedIy
from lie, whose hands were stained with double MUIR
DOR and who had, besides, inflicted his death
wounds He had said with the last words no uttered
while consciousness remained that he looked only for
death; that he would not Of his into the world
again. or II he did II would only DO to repeat
tragedy as dreadful that he had enacted. This
Henry Hausmann, two OF whose children died q
short tmo since. shot through tho breast by
his hand. Since the night OF November H.
when he was picked up from tho floor Of his abode
where he lay dying among his slaughtered innoccnts
nc has occupied bed IN tho Chambers Street Hospi-
tai HIS wounds, inflicted with fatal determination
both In vital parts, and the surgeons who probcd
them first and traced their direction expressed thor
conviction that tho mans period OF fc could not ex
tend over a day two. Hausmann. however, balled
medical opinion His cnacity 10 lifc was surprising
and although 1t was clear that no could not survive
his wounds the physicians IN attendance heightened
out his days IN this world far beyond what they be-
lieved possible.
HE EXPERIENCED NO RrMoRsE
When he awOKe 10 CONSCIOUSNESS from the dcathy
stupor which had followed tho infection OF his wounds
ana the dread u memories OF that night came crowd
ing upon him thought that he would DO stricken
with horror at the work OF his passion and that re-
morse would combine with his phi ysicai aillictoas TO
Rnaw the cord OF lie asunder But Hansmann In
word or act ever justified thus belief He was cold,
pitilcss, impcniicnt No thought OF tho 1T
tie ones, his own flesh and blood whom no
had gent to the grave or the hospital pallet
ever appeared to cross his mind and OF i'm
pending dissolution ever rousod him TO the apprect-
ton OF his crimes enormity or made him IN tho least
regret It's commission. Indeed, II seemed TO HIM a
had been fred with deadly precision, and although no
never inquired about the wounded boy II Is lar TO
Children Would noe ousvo 20 I n During his
long and painful so)ourn IN the hospital
he has never complained, but has re-
tanned throughout the conviction that death
would soon ovcrtako him. When questioned no
has said that he cid not want 10 i've, that tho
tho world was 100 small Tor the woman who
wronged him and himself TO exist In. Hc SAID that
he had acted rightly putting his children out Of hor
reach. They would never grow up TO follow
pcrnicious example aud never be within the power OF
her dcmoraz,ng influence. His brother WAS the only
visitor ho at first received To hln no told the story
OF his welded Lille again. How no had married this
woman whom he met IN her aincr's Deer saloon, how
at irst she was all that could DO desired, but how
drink and love OF company had ruined her. He camo
nome nightly, he said, only 10 ind her intoxicated,
with no food Tor him and care Tor the children. Az
length on that Monday nignt when he found sue had
broken al her promises Of amendment he determined
leave the world and her and take hts children

he said he had nothing live Tor but TO couaummatc
the tragedy by destroying those he iiad spared.
