Tho Mother and Her Eldest Boy Dead
Retrlbution Follows the Murderer While

BOSTON, July IA horrible tragedy
was enacted in Somerville shortly after
midnight Friday. The victims are Mrs.
Catherine Smith, aged 45 years, her son
Thomas, aged IA years, and the perpetrator
of the terrible deed, Augustus Rosenberg.
while two other children of Mrs. Smith
wore injured one of whom will die. The
murderer has been living with Mrs. Smith
for about q year as her husband, but it is
tho general belief that they were not mar
ried The cause of the tragedy is not
known, although it is stated that Rosen-
berg has complained about the way he has
been treated in money matters by the
woman. 1t is supposed that a recent
quarrel over their financial affairs was the
chief cause of the tragedy. The scene of
the shooting was at the corner of Dane
street and Dane court, Somerville. The
ground floor is used as a provision and
grocery store; the business having been
carried on by Mrs. Smith since the disap

the dead body of Thomas Smith,
who received his wound probably up
stairs and succeeded in reaching the
lower landing before falling. A bullet had
entered his forehead. He was the eldest
of the children, of which there were five.
Mrs Smith was found in bed The
indications were that she was shot while
asleep. The ball entered the right tenn
pie. All the children occupied rooms in the
attic, the second floor being used for gen.
eral domestic purposes, and one room by
Mrs. Smith and Rosenberg: Thomas slept
alone. Willie, aged H. and Augustus, aged
Z, slept together in room by themselves
The former was shot through the
body. The wound in all probability
will prove fatal Augustus was shot in the
mouth; the physicians think his recovery
possible. They boy, Charles, aged 5 years,
was slightly wounded. He was in bed with
his little sister Mabel, year younger Five
shots for five persons, four of them fatal,
shows great deliberation on the part of the
murderer.
Rosenberg met his death in most pecul-
lar and unintentional manner, while
attempting to escape from the scene of his
tiendish work In trying to scale fence
at the end of q lane through which he
ran, the doctor thinks he fell on q pile
of railroad sleepers lying beside the
