Silas Nickel (colored) killed his step
daughter, Emma Mcleod, and dangerous
" wounded his wife, then shot himself
dead. The tragedy took place at No. ~
West Nineteenth street, and seems to have

band. There was no witness to the trag-
edy. Mrs. Nickel was shot in the abdo-
men and had her throat cut, while Emma
Mcleod was stabbed five times in the
body. Several shots had been fired at her,
but the stabs were enough to cause death.
Mrs. Nickel was sent to the hospital and
is still alive, but very low. Nickel was
found lying on his back in the kitchen in
pool Of blood, with revolver in each
hand and hole in the side Of his head,
through which his brains were oozing
Seven shots had been fired, but no one IN
the neighborhood heard sound.
