wife Murder at Dedham.

The second tragedy within short time
occurred at Dedham, Mass, on Monday.
George Maggie, an Irishman living in the
ouirt manufacturing part of the town
known AS East Dedham, i'm the afternoon
borrowed an AK of his landlords wife to
emf up some kindling wood. His wife re-
turned from market and entered their
rooms. when he followed her, and shortly
after blows and the sound of falling body
were heard. Mrs. Burns, the landady.
ran to the open doorway and saw there the
body of Mrs. Nagle on the floor with five
dreadful gashes from the ak in her head,
and at once rain to give the alarm. Nage
followed her. his own head bleeding from
self inflicted wounds, and confessed the
Decd saying that after he had killed his
wife he wanted to die too. His wounds
were dressed and he was placed under ar
rest. Nagle is 80 years old, his wife was
81 and they had been married only about
three years. They had no children. He
was a man much addicted to the use of
strong drink, and only two weeks ago his
wife paid his fine and secured his release
from the Dedham house of correction,
where he had been sent for 10 days on
charge of drunkenness. There is little
doubt that drink was what caused him to
kill his wife, although it is said there is a
faint of insanity in his family.

ly two years ago Lena Weinberg. for 30
years housekeeper OF the old Huf House,
committed suicide, and after her death
about Sl2, 900 in gold coin was discovered
slowed away under false bottoms in her
trunks. She was about to return TO her
native Sweden, and had shipped the trunks
to Baltimore. but in moment of insane
frenzy took her life. The money was paid
over to her heirs in Sweden. Recently her
executor discovered $4,000 more in gold
concealed in an old piano stool that had
been used by the woman. There are
various theories as to where Lena obtained
so much money, one OF which assigns the
real ownership to Col. COckrell. the former
proprietor of the HUFF House. 1t is prob
able that a lawsuit will follow.
