Dcstitution and Death.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 15.-Frank Nc
Laughlin and his wife Mary were found
in an unconscious condition in their
home in South Boston this morning.
Both had been shot and both it is
thought will die. The man was re-
vived by the physicians and in short
time was able to talk. He informed
the police that his wife had shot him
while he was asleep, and that she after
wards attempted to kill herself. Nc
Laughlin, who is in the advanced
stage of consumption, had been order
ed to the hospital to-day. The police be-
lieve that his wife, driven to despera.
ton, decided to end both of their lives.
They had lived in abject restitution
and there was only single piece OF
bread in their rooms. Two weeks ago
child born to the couple died at the age
of two weeks, and the event seemed to
weigh heavily on the woman's mind.
Two weeks ago she requested her bus
band to purchase revolver for her, as
she wished one with which to protect
herself after he had gone to the hospi-
tai, as at that time it was expected he
would be compelled to 60 soon. Nc
Laugblin bought the revolver, which
was the ore used in this mornings
shooting,

having just purchased complete outfit.
BE had $50 in his pockets, aud carried
his old clothes in grip, While stroll
ling around the platform he noticed
that two tramps we're cycling him close
ly, but paid little attention to them.
Suddenly, he was grabbed from behind
by the tramps. He struggled, but could
not break away, and one of them drew
a pistol and threatened to shoot him.
Bennett says that they then pushed
him into an empty box car in moving
freight train, and, getting in with him,
made him take off his new clothes and
put on his ole opes. The tramp who
got the garments toox hnt one quarter
of the 500, the others taking SIS.
