The RathbOne Tragedy.

Hanover, 29.-Colonel Rathbone
who killed his wife and attempte d
suicide, has recovered sufficiently to
be taken to the hospital. Recovery
is possible. A judicial examination
on the body of Mrs. Rathbone
showed several shots and dagger
wounds; one bullet passed through
the breast and came out at the back
bone. A dagger thrust penetrated
through the ribs to the heart.
Rath6one was lately very jealous
of his wife, though there was no
cause for such feelings. at present
an official inquiry into the tragedy
is impossible, owing to the condi
ton of Rathbone, his mind being
still affected and his utterances Of a

stood he believes his children were
abducted and that he was wounded
