 KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 29.-Made mad by drugs and a belief in the queer creeds of Ralstonism, Mrs. c. w. Green, early Wednesday morning, took a big Colts revolver from under her pillow and killed her three children and her. self. Mrs. Green was the wife of c w. Green. travelling passenger agent for the Big Four. A few hours before she had been sitting in the kitchen of her home at 5l9 West Thirty Fourth street, near Penn, reading animal stories to her family. They went to bed about ten o'clock, and between one and two that morning the demon of in. sanity took possession of her. The loving mother was transformed into fiend who destroyed her own flesh and blood. and then because there was no one else to kill she turned the weapon on herself. Insanity is the only explanation for the tragedy, and the theory that the crime was com. mitted by q burglar is absurd. The children were 12, and years old, re. spectively, the oldest and youngest being boys. Mrs. Green was B. The husba was at Denver, Col, when the tragedy occurred. Although the crime was committed early Wednesday morning the bodies were not discov. cred until Friday morning.
