A WOMAN, HER SON AND HER
PARAAOUR DEAD.

Three Ocher Children Wounded, One
of Whom WIN Die-The Deaths Of
Mother and Son Caused by Pistol
Balls-The Cause of the Murderous
Lovers DeaJh stiE Undetermined.
Boston, July 1$.-In Somervillo early
this morning Augustus Rcseuburg shot and
killed Mrs. Catherine Smith and her son
Thomas. Three other children were shot, one
probably fatally. No cause is known. The
sceneof the shooting was at the corner of
Dane street and Dane court, Somervile.
Theground floor is used as provision and
grocery store. The business has been carried
on by Mrs. Smith since the disappearance of
her husband, Charles Smith, who is sup
posed to have committed suicide by jump
ing from Portland steamer about a year
ago The neighbors were aroused about
o'clock by number OF pistol shots and the
police were promptly notified.
THE FIRST CORPSE.
The police entered the front door and en-
couutered the dead body Of Thomas Smith,
who received his wound probably upstairs,
and succeeded in reaching the lower landing
before falling. bullet had entered his
forehead. Aa.was the eldest of the children,
of whom there were five. Mrs. Smith was
found in bed The indications were that
she was shot while asleep. All the children
occupied rooms in the attic, the second floor
being used for general domestic purposes
and one room by Mrs Smith and Rosenoerg.
Thomas slept alone. Willie, aged H. and
Augustus, aged z, slept together in room
by themselves.
THE NATURE OF THEIR WoU NDs
The former was shot through the body. The
wound in all probability will prove fatal.
Augustus was shot in the mouth, and the
physicians think his recovery possible. The
boy Charles, aged 5 years, was slightly
wounded. He was in bod with his little
sister Mabel, one year younger. Five shots
were fired for the FIVE persons.
ROSENBERG FOUND DEAD.
Rosenberg jumped from "a window after
accomplishing his bloody work, and was
presumed for some time to have escaped,
| but his dead body was shortly afterward
| found in Dane court, about 500 feet from
the scene of the murders There was no
wound, and from froth at the mouth it is
| supposed that he either died in a fit or by
| poison. Rosenberg was the husband Of
Charles Smiths sister, who died few years
ago He had several children Of his own
living in Bow street court, Somerville. He
went to live with Mrs. Smith shortly after
the mysterious disappearance of her hus-
band, The couple were not married so far
as any one knows.
DoCToR's THEORY.
Rosenberg met his death In n most pecu-
liar manner while attempting TO escape In
trying to scale a fence at the end Of the
lane through which ne ran, the doctor
| thinks he fell on pile of railroad sleepers
10
struck bis head on a spike, which fractured
| his skull and instantly killed him. DR..
Durell says there is no doubt that he was
