NEW YORK, April 24.-Upon the
second floor OF 257 West Twenty-sixth
street Albert G.. Deffarge and his four
year-old son were this morning found
dead. The child was IN bed, as il
asleep, but its features were contracted.
as if in suffering. Further examination
showed that while his wife was asleep
the husband had administered a fatal
draught of poison to their boy and then
taken poison himself. The wife was
almost crazed, and raved about the
room like a maniac. Neither wife or
neighbors seemed able to give any
cause for the deed. Denarse was IA
Frenchman, but had been in this coun
try number of years. A little later
Clara, his two.year-cld child, was no.
ticed to be acting in strange manner,
and it was learned that she also had
been poisoned, but not fatally. 1t ha>
also been learned that Mr.. Defarse, who
is a druggist at the above number, has
often complained Of his wife's inconsist-
anc,, and jealousy is supposed to have
been the cause.
