TRAGIC REMEDY
APPLIED BY A HUSBAND
Kills His Insane Wife and Then
Himself-Leaves q Letter Of
Exclamation

FLINT, Mich, Oct. Nv. P. Murray
of Clinton, Iowa, to-day shot and killed
himself and his wife, Harriet, an incura-
BILE inmate of Oak Drive Asylum, located
here. Their bodies were found in a
grove, where they had gone late in the
afternoon for walk. Each was shot
through the head.
In Mr. Murray's pocket was found a
letter addressed to the physicians in
charge of the institution, explaining the
reason for this action. He said that the
only way to relieve his wife from her
suffering was to kill her, and that as it
was against the law to do so the only
thing he could do was to shoot himself
also.

thought to be the result of the Fash

The papers here say that three Brit

A semi-of1fcial note says the state

placed on a war footing and ordered to
Brest are incorrect, and that undue
