NEW YoRK, Feb. 19.-A murder was
committed this morning In rear tone
msnt at 50 Baxter street, just in the
center of the lowest portion OF the city.
Vencenxo Nino cut his wiie's throat
from ear to ear In the presence OF their
two childen. He claims that he commit
ted the deed because his wife's lover had
tried to induce her to kill him and run
away.
The friends OF Marie Nino, the murdered
woman, claim that the deed was provoked
by the knowledge that she would not
support him.
The house where the deed was done Is
situated Just in the lowest quarter OF

ments are close together and are occupied
by rag pickers and junk shops.
Vencenxo never works at anything and

port him and the two children. Despite
the fact that she was at the time of
her death about to become a mother he
would beat her and make her go out and
pick rags 80 "a to make money for him.
