TRIPLE MURDER, THEN SUICIDE.
More About the John II. Matthews Crime
An Ka~ KnrE

More About the John II. Matthews Grimes
I'm New York.
The New York Herald OF Tuesday, Jan.
IS, reached this city In last nights mail,
and IL contains q long account Of the
Matthew's murders and suicide, with H.
lustrations Of the little grocery store,
Matthews and wife, and OF their two
children. THE CITIZEN clips the follow
ing extracts:
Letters left by the unhappy couple In
dicated that they had been c0ntemplat'
ing their tragic taking OF for five long
years, and that the triple murder and
suicide were committed as the result OF
direct understanding between Matthews
and his wife.
Although there is no positive proof,
Il IL believed that the wife, at least, was
insane, as a result OF serious illness, and
COrOner's Physician 0Hanl0n advances
the theory that, seeing nothing but mis-
cry before her, she prevailed upon her
husband 10 commit the awful crime,
Although the man In one OF the letters
left behind confessed that his mind
was gone, the autopsy revealed the fact
that he was In good health and appa-
rently sound mentally. This Ia one OF the
several strange phases OF a remarkable
| tragedy.
Here follows a long account OF the
finding OF the dead bodies, which is en-
tirely too horrible to be reproduced In
such a great religious paper as THE
CITIZEN; also the several pencilings on
letter heads from both Matthews and hiS
wife, among which the following is
clipped from the Herald;
Ford, the clerk, had been called into
the store by Captain Price, who handed
him a letter addressed 10 "Messra. Ford

Like the other communications IL was
written In pencil aud in large, scTaW-
ling hand. II may be regarded as Mat
thews' will. II is given here verbatim
