QUARnELsomE Old EouS.
ne Ends His Quarreis by Numbering
his wife ana then Commits
Suicide.
[By telegrnph . the pIsnA,ch

NEW YORK, August 3l.-No. ia
Sixth street is a three.story-and-bsse-
ment building. Elias Kohn lived there
with his wife Barbara. lie WAS q queer
old man, who could not get along even
with his own children. He and his wife
were found dead this forenoon in their
bedroom. The wife's throat was cut
from ear to ear. The husband was fear
fully mangled with knife, and had
hole in his bead which looked like q
pistOl-shot wound, and puzzled the
police No sound OF q pistolshot had
been heard by any other tenants OF the
house IN which the kohns occupied the
second floor. 1t is supposed that the
old man killed his wife first and then
cut himself, after quarrel with Mrs.
Kohn about the children.
Elias kohn was said to be wealthy.
He lived in that neighborhood, owning
the bouse, for nearly twenty years, since
he retired from the cigar-manufacturing
business with a competency. He WAS
sxty-two years old and was born near
Mainz, Germany. His wife was five
years older than he. They had four
children, who are all married. The
father could not agree with any
of them, and frequently quauelled
with his wife about them. The couple
were last seen yesterday afternoon, when
they we're heard exchanging hard words
The body of Mrs. Kohn was cold when
found and the life-blood was pouring
from her husbands wounds. He was
alive but unconscious, and his bowels
protruded from his abdomen. The
police at first thought the crime was
done by a thief who wanted to rob
the place. but investigation disproyed
this theory. The knife with which the
deeds were done was found in drawer
near the bed on which Mr. Kohn lay.
4 number Of wine and brandy-bottles
OF the table showed how the old man
had nerved himself for the double crime.
Everybody in the neighborhood knew
the kohns, but they were on speaking
terms with scarcely anybody on account
Of Mr.. kohn's peculiarities.
