John Warner shoots HIS Son and Then

cept Inability to Secure Employment.
NEW YORK, July s.-John Warner, ac-
companied by his son Joseph, hired hall
bedroom In the fiat at l92 West Tenth

The man came and went at regular hours
and at night he and the boy always slept In
the house. At daybreak Wednesday morn
ing pistol shots were heard In Wamer's
room, and on the door being forced open by
the landlord and one Of the dodgers Warner
was found dead, with big pistol In his
hand, and his son in dying condition with
bullet hole in his temple.
The police of the Ninth precinct were
notified and In few minutes an ambulance
dashed up and the boy was taken TO St
Vincents hospital. He died on the
stretcher on which he was placed to be car
ried TO the reception room. Immediate
search was made for an explanation OF the
tragedy. Warner, who had the appearance
OF Il German jew, but from his CONVERSE
ton had evidently been Chrlstianlzed, was
said by the landlady TO have been In much
higher position and was looking for some
means of livelihood In New York. No
papers or letters conld DO found. Tho cor
oner has taken charge OF tho bodies
LArEE-lt was learned that Warner was
some years ago a successful taller doing
business at Twenty-tllTd street and Fourth
avenue. After making q comfortable for

laiing in stocks and lost all his money,
Other misfortune befeli him and he has
never been able TO retrieve hi1 condition or
get his son started in life. 1t is supposed
that dependency from these causes led to
his crime

Will Yen Have Tea or Coffee {!

nations of the world always prove them

the drinkers and the British Ger
