SHOT HIS WIFE AND HIMSELF
THE MAN DEAD AND THE WOMAN IN A.
DANGEROUS CONDITION.


DRINK AND JEALOUSY LEAD TO CRIME IN A
sULLLvAN-sT. TENEMENr-HoUsE.
Drink and jealousy led an Italian to try to
murder his wife and child in the tenement-house

kill himself. He was Francisco Lomeo a black
smith. and he shot his wife Philomena four times
before he put end to his own life. The woman
in st. vincents Hospital last night and the
surgeons thought she might die from her wounds.
The couple were married in Italy a dozen years
ago, when the woman barely than a
child, and soon after her daughter was born her
husband went to Brazil. Later he came to this
city. Eight weeks ago his wife and daughter came
here to live with him. and he found rooms for
them in the tenement house in Sullivan-st Lomeo
and his wife quarrelled they had been
reunited. He drank freely and did not have money
to provide for the wants Of his wife and daughter.
He was unreasonably jealous. Ten Gays ago he
told his wife that he would kill her and her
daughter Mile. and at that time he went out
and bought revolver. On Sunday night, after
be iring his wife, he produced the revolver and said
he was going to kill her and himself. A friend
persuaded him to put the weapon away
The family Quarrels had been so violent that
other tenants had made complaints and the land
lord had given the Lomeos notice to leave the
house. On Monday Lomeo again fourished the
revolver and threatened murder. His wfes
screams called several of the neighbors. who In
had been called in then the crime might have
been averted After breakfast yesterday morning
Lomeo went to a barber shop, where he was
shaved. AS he leaving the shop he said to
the barber. This is my last shave"
Then the Italian went to a grocery In Broome-st
and settled small account there Instead Of
going to work then, he went back to his home
in the tenement house confronted his wife and
he was going to kill them both His frightened
revolver
He pulled the trigger OF the weapon and the bullet
passed through her hand. She screamed and ran
to the window to climb out on the fre-escape. fol-
lowed by her little daughter. AS she climb
ing to the fire-escape a bullet struck her in the
back of the neck She fell. again and was
shot in the face As she crawled through the
window another bullet passed through her right
arm. The bullet probably was intended for the
little girl, who was clinging 10 her mother S
skirts
Another shot rang out in the room behind the
woman and girl and Lonleos body dropped on
the floor. He had placed the mu zle Of the revolver
against his head and had blown his brains
out The sounds of the shooting and the sight
fre-escape caused a great crowd Of people to
gather at the house policeman into the
which the Lomeos had occupied and found
the blacksmith dead the floor. An ambulance
called remove the wounded woman to the
hospital. The dead mans body left where 1t
lag until Coroner had time to view ii and order
its removal. People in the house and In other
houses In Suivan-st were in a state OF excite
ment all day on account of the crime.

them absolutely by heart-knowing
their records in all the races they have
ever run, and ascertaining their exact
condition upon entering the track. The
only men who ever made money at the
business are those who have done eX-
actly as have done-formed their own
opinions and listened to no one. /
could name fifty such men. Among
the most notable are George Wheelock,
Fred Cowen, Cad Irish, Jack McDon-
aid, Riley Grammar, Ed Gaines and Sam
milford. Each one Of these men, like
myself, backs his own judgment strict
ly, and has made big success at the
business Each is worth about all the
money he will ever care for. They
would never think of listening to me
or to anyone else. Take Ed Gaines, for
instance. We were in California to-
gether. We dined together, went to the
track together and were with each 9TH
er almost all the time, yet not a man on
the coast took larger wagers off Of me
than he did. He would not have lis
tened to my advice even il had offered
1t and would have paid no attention
to any he might have given to me.
Our judgments were often different, and
we bet against each other. Gaines is
only about "a years old, but is worth in
the neighborhood of 100000, all made
by betting. He started with next to
nothing in St. Louis few years ago.
The people who lose money are those
who rely upon other peoples judgment
