Young Connolly's story a myth.

TOLEDO, Nov. 13.-The sensational story which appeared in the Cleveland Press last night in which charges of most horrible nature are made against Supt. Mcdonald of the house of refuge is proven by the facts to be utterly false. The boy Connolly, who was described as having endured fear full tortures, is weak both physically and mentally and it was so stated by the doctor in charge. It is claimed the boy is noted
 for his untruthful nature. The board of trustees of the house of refuge said to-day that the board has the greatest confidence in MT. and Mrs. McDonald, who have wide reputation for efficiency in this line. MT. Mcdonald is Republican, but despite this fact he has been retained because of his great ability by Democratic administration and board of trustees People here laugh at these charges. Humane Agent Cole, who has made thorough examinations at differ ent times, says no institution could be con- ducted better It is said that someone preju- diced induced the publication of the charges.

tally Wounds Himself.
 BALTIMORE, Nov. 13.-Attracted by the cries of number of small children police officer entered little house on Emory street in the southwestern section of this city to- night and a horrible sight met his gaze. Ly ing in the middle of the floor in dying con- dition was William E. Stone, who had lived in the house with his family for the past two years. A few feet distant from Stone lay his wife, who had just met her death at her husbands hands. The foot was covered with the blood of the victims of the tragedy and in his hand was 8 revolver. Four of their nine children were witnesses to the dreadful deed. According to the evidence it seems that Stone and his wife to outward ap pearances lived happy life until about three months ago when they began to quar- rel. These quarrels continued until tonight when there was fatal termination. Stone, who is carpenter, returned from work about 7 o'clock. He had some angry words with his wife, which led to his drawing revolver and shooting her through the forehead in the presence of his four children. The wife died instantly and the children besought him not to kill lAA4oO1A, oue Ao S1OOPCa ooWA, AiooON Aio murdered wife and placing the pistol to his throat fired the ball upwards into his head. The wound will result fatally.
 Stone is forty-three years and his wife thirty nine. The murderer left a letter which would indicate that the double crime was premed- itated. In it he says that his wife was deceitful and this together with the actions of his mother-in-law led him to commit the deed.
