A SAD STORY.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 15.--Frank Nc
Laughlin and his wife, Mary, were
found in an unconscious condition in
their home in South Boston this morn
ing. Both had been shot and it is
thought both will die. The man re-
vived and informed the police that his
wife had shot him while he was asleep
and that she afterward attempted to
kill herself. Mclaughlin, who is in
an advanced state OF consumption had
been ordered to the hospital today.
The police believe that his wife, driven
to desperation, tried to end both their
lives. They had lived in abject desti-
tuition and only single piece of bread
was in their room. Two months ago
a child was born to the couple, but died
at the age Of two weeks. The event
seemed to weigh heavily upon the wo-
mans mind. They had been married
about a year.
