DRpDFORD VkRN1UN |, JANUARY b, 1885
WAS TIRED Of LIVING.
A Boston Woman calSes the Life of Her
Babe and Attempts Suicide.

Boston, Jan. 3-Anna G. Judkins shot
her b be anI then attempted to take her
own life. Such IS the sad story that e3.
cited the neighborhood of Hammond
street yesterday. The mother is but q
years old. The horrible deed was COM
mitted about noon. At II o'clock Mrs
Judkins was, to all appearances, in her
usual spirits and as sane as anyone. She
went to the roof and stretched u clothes
line preparatory to hanging out the
weeks washing. She spoke to a neighbor
and nothing unusual was noticed. An
hour later her babe was dead, and she lay
stretched on the floor with stab in her
breast, and nearly suffocated by gas.
A few minutes afterward DR.. Dodge
arrived. He at once endeavored to revive
the woman, and when she was regaining
her senses she said: 1T was not Your
fault Will. Don't let it get outside the
house"
Before the officers arrived the unfortu-
nate mother told why and how she did it.
She said she was tired of living and that
she wanted her babe to go with her when
she died.
Mrs. Judkins was perfectly cool when
the officer from station 10 arrived. She
went to her wardrobe and selected her
dress and put it on. Then she collected
her toilet articles and packed them in a
small satchel. She walked alone down
the stairs to the patrol wagon, her hus-
band remaining behind.
Mrs. Judkin's Case.
Boston, Jan. Airs. Judkins was ar
raigned in the Roxbury municipal court.
The prisoner did not appear to compre-
hend any of the legal questions that were
put to her. Judge Bolster ordered the
clerk to enter the plea mot guilty." and
she was ordered to be held without bail
for the grand jury None of the woman's
friends were in the court room.

GROUND WAS UNHOLY.
A Priests Explanation of His Refusal to
Celebrate Funeral Rites.

Priests Explanation OF His Refusal to
Celebrate Funeral Rites.
DEDHAM, Mass, Jan. 4.--John Kennedy,
prominent citizen and devout Catholic,
was to have been buried in Brookdale
cemetery yesterday. He was not, how
ever, as Rev Father Flemming objected
! 20 such intlrment, he claiming that Brock
| dale cemetery WAS not consecrated ground.
| Yesterday morning the family of the
deceased had the body conveyed to st.
Mary's church for requiem or solemn
mass to be read over the remains. The
family appeared in the church, aud the
auditorium of the edfice was well filled
with friends eff the deceased, but Father
Flemming would not celebrate the mass
because of the proposed place of burial A
delegation had waited on him in relation
to the mass, but he resented their over
lures.
As final effort, two of the Misses Ken
nedy went to the parochial residence and,
after some discussion, Rev. Father O'Keefe
read the mass. The body was taken from
the church by the pallbearers, and carried
10 the receiving tomb in the Rrookdale
cemetery, where the body was placed to
await tue dispensation of Archbishop
w iAms, which the relatives will apply
for.
Some few years ago the town voted to set
apart portion of BroUkdale cemetery for
the use of the Catholics, the rest to be the
property of the Protestants. Many graves
were bought in that portion set apart for
the burial of the Catholic dead. When
Father Flemming came to Dedham, he
stated that any one buried in Brookdale
cemetery would not receive the rites of the
church.
Father Flemming wanted the burial at
St. Mary's cemetery, over the Boston line
from Dedham, and the disregarding Of his
wishes in this respect by the relatives of
Mr.. Kennedy caused the trouble of yester-
day. Much Indignation is expressed.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. six indoor bicycle

out to lower the half-mile record of 1:l3
He started off at killing pace and held it
clear through, making the half mile in

Then John S. Johnston started in to
lower his own record of 2:30 for a mile
When the time keepers hung out the
figures 2:26 Johnston was enthusiastically
spplauded.
w. A. Rhodes then took a shy at the
five-mile record. He started off at al-
most his speediest gait and never wavered
foot during the race. He seemed rs
fresh at the end AS before he started. The
former record for five miles was 1929
Rhodes made it in 1905. He also sand
wiched in new records for two three and
four miles. Following are the figures for
each mile: First mile, 2;35; two miles,
5:IO; three miles, 7:44; four miles, 1926;
and five miles, 1906.
