MURDER IN FAIRFAX.

Mary Harmon shot and instantly
killed her husband, John Harmon, q
farmer, about 6 o'clock yesterday after.
noon at the home of her mother, five
miles east of Fairfax Court House. AZ
ter killing her husband, Mrs. Harmon
ran, hatless and barefooted, to the
house of Justice of the Peace Want
Trumbull, told him what she had
done, and gave herself into custody.
She was taken to Fairfax county Jail
Harmon and his wife lived on farm
not far from the house of Mrs. Har-
mons mother. About fourteen months
ago Harmon left his wife and her eight
children, and q short time after the
separation she and the children went
to live with her mother. After some
months Harmon commenced making
overtures 10 her to return to him again,
but she always told him she woulu
never again live with him. She told
him, too, that she did not care to see
him, and that she did not want him to
come around her mothers house.
Yesterday afternoon just before 6
o'clock Harmon went to the house and
saw his wife sitting inside of an open
window in the front part of the house.
Harmon stepped to the window and
commenced pleading with the woman
to return and live with him. She re-
fused, and Harmon refused to accept
her decision as final, and started to
climb through the window. She warn.
ed him to desist and threatened to kill
him. The husband raised himself upon
the ledge of the window, and the wo-
man sprang back to the centre of the
room. As quick as fash she caught
up a double barreled shotgun and fired
one barrel. She was but few feet
from her husband, and the entire
charge of heavy shot struck him just
under the right eye. Without word

Harmon fell out of the window, and
dropped to the ground corpse
The mother came down from an up,
stairs room, and the children locked
about. Harmon, rugged farmer Of
fifty years, had fallen upon his back,
and lay with his eyes open. The heavy
charge of buckshot had made terrible
wound in his face, causing complete
Disagreement. Mrs. Harmon was with.
out shoes or stockings, having removed
them on account of the heat, and her
hair was unbraided and tangled. The
children stood about crying and moan.
ing. and the old mother stood quietly
in the door of the house, as il stricken
dumb by the awful blow that bad fall
en- upon the family. =,
Mrs. Harmon is forty-two years old,
and not good.looking. Ia her state
ment she says: "My husband never
properly provided for me or the chill
dren. and has beaten me, kicked me,
and knocked me down times without
number. He has made me work all
day picking berries, when the children
needed my care, and has even driven
the little children out in the
hot sun to pick berries, and would
not let them quit when they were
worn out. He never decently support
ed me, and to get little money occa-
sionaliy had to take washing from
neighbors. Yesterday when he came
to the house I was sitting at the win.
dow, and had no thought of a quarrel
with him. When he insisted on conf
ing through the window, | told him not
to, or / would kill him. ] swear before
God didn't mean it. LUST said it in
fun, but when he continued to climb in,

then must have pulled the trigger. /

I was about eight feet away from him.
believe, though, that had right to
kill him. don't know what will be-
come of me: and I don't know what
will become of the children"
The neighbors credit the woman with
being an upright, hard working woman,
and say that her efforts to provide for
and care for her children have been
strenuous and unceasing. The dead
man had been regarded as an IMPROVE
dent though harmless individual.

MURDERED AND SET ON FIRE


Miss Nellie Harrington, thirty-five
years of age, who lived in an upstairs
fiat in San Francisco, was found MUIR
dered in her room Saturday afternoon
and with her clothes on fire. She had
lived there alone for three or four years
and was considered an estimable wo-
man, making living by keeping room
ers. Saturday she expected some one
to call and get room and told the
people in the building that there was
SOMEBODY coming for that purpose.
About 12:45 o'clock the lady who
lived down stairs noticed that she had
not seen Miss Harrington for some
time. She went upstairs to ask her if
she wanted anything and found the
hallway doors locked and smelled
smoke. She called a young man named
Guy Kennedy, who broke down the
door. There he and the lady with him
saw the body lying on the floor. Her
clothes were on fire and the wainscot-
ing was also in blaze.
The fire was evidently incendiary,
and the appearance of the body indi-
Gated that the woman had been muir
dered and an attempt made to conceal
the crime by setting fire to the house.
There were stab wounds all over her
uody and on her face, and her jaw was
was broken. A pillow, which had been
taken from sofa at her feet, was on
her face and on fire. The lower part
of her body was badly burned, but her
face had escaped the flames.
Apparently when she was attacked
she was fully dressed, but when she
was found most of her clothes had been
burned away. All drawers in the room
were open and had been ransacked.
The popular theory is that the murder
was the deed of q tramp.
A lamp on stand near by showed
That the murderer had taken coal oil
from this and saturated the pillow and
Miss Harringion's clothing.
The police have arrested Japanese
named F. Kano. who rented room
from Miss Harrington. Upon his per-
son was found the key to the front
door, and burns were on his face.
In the murdered woman's room was
found photograph of ex-senator L. w.
Buck, one OF the most prominent fruit
growers If the State. The people of
the house identified the picture of Buck
as that Of the man who called to see
Miss Harrington.
One theory is that State Senator
Buck, who is now dying at his home in
Oakland IS result of injuries Friday
night by being thrown from q buggy,
could throw some light on the tragedy.
Another theory connects the name of q
w;ll-known racing man of San Fran
CISCO with the deed.
