| HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
A Mailman Near Boston Riddles the
Members of Family.
The Mother and Son Dead-The Others
in a Dangerous Condition.
After Accomplishing His Bloody Deed
he Dies by His Own Hand.

BosToN, July ia bloody affair was
enacted in Somervjiie at an early hour
this morning. The victims are Mrs.
Catherine Smith, aged As, her son Tom,
aged IA, and the perpetrator of the ter
rible deed, Augustus osenberg, while
two other children of Mrs. Smith were
injured SO that one will die. The mul-
derer has been living with Mrs. Smith,
for about year as her husband
but 1t is the general belief here
that they were not married. The cause
of the tragedy is not known, although it
Is stated Rosenberg has com planned about
the way he has been treated in money
matters by the woman. The scene of the
shooting was at the corner OF Dane
street and Dane court, Somerville, where
Mrs. Smith since the disap pearance of her
husband carried on provision and gro
Gerry business. This morning at o'clock
the nelghbors were aroused by number
of pistol shots and the police were
promptly notified. The police entered
the front door and encountered the dead
body of Thomas Smith. He had evidently
been shot in the forehead and had tried
to reqoh the front door before falling
dead. The body of Mrs. Smith was found
in bed. she had evidently been shot in
che right temple while asleep. Willie, the
second, aged Il, was found in room in
the attic shot through the body. He will
probably die. Augustus, another son,
aged was also found in the attic shot in
the mouth. The physicians think his
recovery possible. The youngest son, a
boy named Charles, aged 5, was slightly
wounded. He was in bed with his little
sister Mabel, one year younger After
accomplishing his bloody work Rosen-
berg jumped from the window and for
some time was thought to have escaped,
bat shortly afterwards his dead body was
found in Dane court about five
hundred feet from the scene of the muir
ders. There was no wound and from
forth at the mouth it is supposed that he
aither 6ied in a Il or by poison. Rosen-
berg was the husband of Charles Smiths
! sister, who died a few years ago. He
had several children of his own living IN
Bow street court, SUmerville. He went to
live with Mrs. Smih shortly after the
| disappearance of her husband, who was
generally supposed to have committed
suicide by jumping from a Portland
steamer. Rosenberg was about 45 years
| old.
Medical Examiner Durrell says Willie
Smith will die. GGssie's injury is only a
flesh wound on the face and she will re-
cover. Rosenberg met his death in q
| peculiar and unip tel tional manner while
trying to escape. In scaling fence al
the end of the lane through which he ran
after jumping out of the window. the
doctor thinks he fell on pile of railroad
sleepers and struck his head on spike
which fractured his skull and instantly
killed HIM. DR.. Durrell says there is nc
doubt that Rosenberg was crazy.
