MURDER AND SUICIDE.
"A Man in New York City Sends 4 Bullet
Through the Brain of His Sleeping Son
and Then Kills Himself.

A Man in New York City Sends a Bullet
Through the Brain of His Sleeping Son
and Then Kills Himself.
New York, July S.-John Warner, an
elderly man, about whom but little is
known. shot his iourteen-year-old son yes.
terday morning as the latter lay asleep in
q room occupied by the two at 1872 West
Tenth street. The bullet entered the lads
head at the left temple. He died on the
way to the hospital. After shooting the
boy Warner fired a second bullet into his
own brain and dropped dead. Othes
dodgers in the house, hearing the shoot.
ing, broke open the door and found the
occupants in the condition described, the
boy still lying on the bed, while his father
was PROSTATE upon the floor. Mr.. War.
ner had his trousers on, and had
evidently gone about his bloody
deed With deliberation. On the win.
dow-slll stood a small looking.
glass beside three or four pistol cartridges.
He had apparently used the glass in fixing
his arm SO that the bullet should not fail
to kill him after he had taken hi, sons
life. There was nothing in the room to
furnish any clue to the mystery OF the
double crime.
