dren Before Their Eyes.

Wife-murdcrer Joseph Hunt lies hover.
ing between life and death ut the Pres.

ton of double tragedy that startled
the upper east side yesterday.
Hunt shot and killed his wife Sunday
morning at their home, 1880 Second ave-
nue., and then shot himself. He was a
paperhanger by occupation, but had not
worked for two or three years. His
wife supported the family of six by her
needle. There were four children,
Lottie, eleven years old; Tessie nine
years old: George, seven years old, and
Harry. five years old.
Hunt Is addicted to drink, and has
spent what money he could get from his
wifes earnings for liquor. He has a
surly disposition and is not popular in
the neighborhood.
His wife was the opposite in DISPOSE
ton and habits. and attributed his ac-
lions to the results of a severe attack
Saturday afternoon he wanted to pawn
her clothing. She refused to allow him
to do so, and q quarrel ensued. He left
the house and returned late in the even
ing.
Sunday morning he entered the front
room with his hands behind his back,
as II he had something he wished to con-
ceal. Mrs. Hunt had arisen few mo-
ments before and was sitting by the
window combing her hair. Three of the
children were playing about the floor.
Walking towards his wife, Hunt
pointed a large navy revolver directly
at her head and fired.
The ball struck her a little back of
the right ear. Her head dropped against
the back of the chair. The bullet had
caused instant death. The man then
turned the weapon upon himself and
sent ball crashing into his skull.
The children ran screaming to the
apartments of Louis Davis. on the floor
above, and told him what had happened.
Davis called In L. A. kanzler,. Mrs.
Hunts brother, who lived near by and
the police were notified. Mrs. Martin,
a sister, took charge of the children
and Hunt was removed to the Presby-
terrain Hospital.
