QUARRELLED OVER INSURANCE.
John 0Mara Shoots Dead Brothers. Wife Be-.
cause She Refuses 10 Divide.

Stamford CT, April Latte this after
noon, John O'Mara, laborer, aged 35,
called at the house of his brother widow,
Mrs. Thomas o Mara, and when the woman
came to the door, he drew a revolver and
fired four shots, all of which took effect.
D Mara jumped upon passing truck bat
was captured before he had gone far. Tho
shooting was the direct result of a family
quarrel over money obtained from In
surance policies on the life of Thomas
Mara, who was insured for $4,000. He
died, last May, and after death stories
were about that he had been poisoned
1t was stated that Mrs OMara fed her
husband ground glass and had given him
certain poisonous connections. In July
the coroner Of Fairfield county cxhumed
the body, and after post norton and a
chemical analysis of certain parts of tho
stomach certificate was filed confirming
the physicians certificate given at the
time O'Mara died, which gave apoplexy
as the cause Of death.
Ever since the coroner's finding was re-
ported Mrs Thomas O'Mara had been
bothered by her husbands family, who
claimed q share Of the insurance money.
1t Is thought that today's tragedy was
actuated by desire to punish her for re.
fusing to listen to O'Mara's demand. Mrs.
D Mara cannot live.
