IT WAS BLOODY WORK.
Martin Rattigan Yields a Wicked
Knife.
ATTACK UPON W M
stabbed His Wife and sister-ln-Law.
The Former Received Two
Wounds-An Attempt to
Commit Suicide.

Martin Rattigan, who was released from
Jail only yesterday, caused a sensation in
town this morning by seriously stabbing
his wife, Lizzie, and his si~ster-in-law. Miss
Lena Miller, and winding up his onslaught
by %plunging the instrument with which he
did the cuttings into himself.
Mrs. Rattigan was stabbed in the back,
near the right shoulder, and in the stomach.
Her sister was stabbed in the right side,
the blade passing between the ribs. All
the cuts were ugly ones and blood streamed
from them, and it is believed that the
wounds are dangerous, Rattigan stabbed
himself in the stomach. His wound is also
considered a dangerous one.
Rattigan yesterday completed a sentence
in the Pottsville Jail for having smashed
the windows of the house of his father
in-law, William S. Miller. AS soon
as released Rattigan came to Shenan-
doah and at once called upon his wife, who
resides at the corner of Cherry and Cath
crime street. Mrs. R~attigan has been sep
Grated from her husband for some time.
The call by the husband was a surprise.
Rattigan asked his wife if she would live
with him and she said she would not. The
reply angered Rattigan, but he restrained
himself and left tue house. This morning
at about seven o'clock, he returned and
was met at the door by Miss Miller the
wife's sister. Rattigan asked if his
wife was at home and upon
being told that she was upstairs. asked
that she be called down. When Mrs
Rattigan appeared the husband repeated
his request of the day before-that she live
with him, but again the wife refused n
promise Although Rattigan was some
what agitated at the time he ATTEMPTED no
violence. Mrs. Rattigan aud her sister
went to the rear of the house and proceeded
to wash clothes. Rattigan took a seat in
the Kitchen. He remained there for some
time, when Mrs. Rattigan entered the
Kitchen the husband sprang at her without
a word of warning, threw her upon the
Kitchen stove and plunged the blade of a
knife twice into her body. In response to
her sisters cries for help Miss Miller ran
into the kitchen. Rattigan released his
hold upon his wife and plunged the knife
into the sisters side. Miss Miller sank TO
the floor beside the PROSTATE form of her
sister and Rattigan dashed from the house.
He ran to the outskirts of the town and
over the dirt banks to the west side of the
Turkey Run colliery. There he attempted
suicide by driving the blade with which
he had attacked his two victims into his
stomach. He was arrested a few minutes
later and taken to the lookup.
The Instrument with which the stabbing
was done was a pocket knife with a very
large blade.
DR.. Hamilton stated this afternoon that
the wounds of the victims are much more
serious than was supposed and there is
danger of the three dying. Rattigan
slashed himself so badly in the stomach
that the intestines p~rotruded. The affair
has caused one of the biggest sensations
the town has been given in several years.

TALLY. He could not give one more than
he gave another without seeming to be
partial in his affections.
The Ex-Governor was prudent and con-
sentative business man, but adhered to
much higher purposes in life than the pur::
suit of wealth. BY economy, frugality and
methodical business habits he saved con-
siderable money, but gave regularly to
charity from time to time certain amounts
which he felt justified in bestowing from
his means.
He invested his savings in securities of
the best kind. The investments in Gov
eminent bonds attests this fact, and fur
nishes another proof of his faith in the
stability of the Government.
Dwight Burnett, who gets under the will
some $13, 700. is about IS years of age. He
lives in South San Francisco, but is not so

cumstances, so far as the ownership OF
property is concerned, hence the bequest
will be Of great assistance to him.

IT is STILL A MYSTERY.
The Police Are Seeking for
CleWS Regarding Mrs.
Mathews Death.
A Search Is Being Made for the
Dead Woman'S Benefit
Certificate.

The maze of mystery still surrounds the
case of Mrs. Jennie Mathews, the woman
who died SO mysteriously last Saturday
night at her home, 500 Broderick street,
after being taken i'll in Laurel Hill Gene
terry. Oliver w. Winthrop, the assistant
Superintendent of the cemetery, is in the
custody of the police, under suspicion of
having caused the woman's death by Civ
ing her pill loaded with strychnine, ac-
cording to her ante-mortem statement and
the testimony OF her sixyear-old child,
Matte Mathews.
No formal charge has been made against
Winthrop though, and he is only held
pending the investigation of the police
into the details of the woman's death.
Captain Lees stated yesterday that the
reason why he ordered Winthrop's arrest
was that he received telegram from T.
B. Finn, the grand treasurer of the Order
OF Chosen Friends at Indianapolis. in
which it was stated that in Mrs. Mathews
policy of insurance in the order
o. w. Winthrop was named as the
trustee of the child. The question then
arose in the captains mind whether the
deputy superintendent would be able to
benefit himself by the woman's death in
the collection of the money. The question
is vet unanswered, and is liable to remain
so for a few days yet. While Captain Lees
is inclined 10 believe that Mrs Mathews
was murdered, he is yet at loss to dr.
cover a motive for Winthrop having COM
mitted the crime.
In order TO get at facts in this matter he
Yesterday sent for some of the prominent
officials of the Order OF Chosen Friends
and auestioned them regarding laws OF the
society when it came TO a matter of paying
benefits s. c. Wallis, the grand recorder
of the society, stated that he could not
see how Winthrop could, even as trustee,
collect the money and use it for his own
benefit.
In case of death, he said, there is an in
yestigation held, and properly attested
papers have to be filed before the money is
paid over The laws of the order forbid
the payment of benefit money to any one

Fairchild's decision to adopt the legal

Among other things found in the house
on Broderick street were several bottles of
medicine. There were ipecac alum and
quinine, and besides tube containing a
quarter of grain of morphine and small
bottle with the same quantity of cocaine
in it. These latter drugs, though, had
been obtained while the woman was ill
! and under the treatment of DR.. Griffith.
Last night Captain Lees received tele-
gram from Secretary Finn of indianapolis
which gave the contents OF the insurance
policy. The witness was the wife of DR..
Won Buelow, the physician who examined
Mrs. Mathews.
Mrs. Hayden, who lives in the same
house with the Mathews family, informed
Captain Lees yesterday that Mrs. Mathews
had told her about the policy she had in
the order, but requested her not TO tell anv
one about it. Mrs. Mathews had also told
her that Winthrop had advised her not to
tell of her connection with the order.

! Chemist Morgan had not finished his
analysis of the dead woman's stomach
yesterday.
He said, however, that he would submit
his report to the Coroner to-day. He had
found half grain of strychnine in the
stomach, and said that there might have
been more originally, but that during the
ten hours between Mrs. Mathews first
collapse and her death some of the poison
may have been absorbed into the system.
