MURDER and SUICIDE
WHISKY, POVERTY, JEALOUSY
THE CAUSE :
Alfred lambda Kills His Wife and
Then Himself at San
Diego

SAN DIEGO, CAL, May pa shocking
sight was disclosed In the morgue this
morning. where husband and wife Of TWEEN
ty-two years standing lay side by side
with their heads nearly blown out of
shape.
1t was the old story of whisky. poverty
and jealousy. ending in the husbands kill
ing his wife and then making an end Of
his own miserable existence.
Alfred lambda, a Frenchman aged sixty,
lived In the eastern part of the city In a
small home for the past eight years with
his wife and two boys, George aged IS, and
Donat, aged II. The wife worked ou. at
house-cleaning, and mostly supported the
family.
On coming to her home last night
both parents, who were apparently under
the influence of liquor, quareled the boys
and the mother retiring at about Z o'clock.
However. at 1880 the boys heard shot in
their mothers room, and rushed in and
found her dead in bed with the top of her
head almost blown of. While they were
there another shot came from the fathers
room, and running in they found him lying
dead on the floor with shotgun at his
side. He had placed the muzzle at his chin
and blown the head all to pieces.
strange thing then occurred. The little
boys opened the window of their fathers
room. went to bed and slept all night, got
up, prepared and ate breakfast, then lifted
the fathers body onto the bed, washed the
floor clean and hitched up the horse and
drove to the Police Station and reported
the crime.
The dead man left a long, rambling letter
asking God to forgive the act, accusing his
wife Of infidelity and drunkenness, say
ing he could stand her actions no longer.
Her name was Winifred. He married her
twenty-five years ago at New London,
Conn. An older son and daughter are liv-
ing. The former Is printer in Los An
