C0RBETT KILLED

Father Of "Gentleman jim Creates
Great Sensation in San Fran.

THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN INSANE
Patrick j. Corbett, Father of the Heavy

San Francisco, August fitzpatrick J. Cor
bett father of James j. Corbett, the puGil-
list shot and killed his wife at an early
hour this morning. The hypothesis accepted
by the family and by intimate acquaint-
ances and friends of the household is that
Mr.. Corbett was laboring under the effects
Of temporary insanity.
The terrible tragedy occurred at the Cor
bett home, 500 Hayes street, over the livery
stable owned by the older Corbett. AS
near as the time can be fixed the shots
rang out at $50 o'clock a. m. Mrs. Corbett
being killed as she was lying asleep in her
bed
So far as can be asCertalncd, there was
not the slightest reason why the husband
should have sought to Wreak such awful
vengeance upon his wife, as for nearly half
a century the couple has lived happily ana
In perfect contontment together. Indeed,
during the last evening they had chatted
pleasantly together about their nreslde
with two of their daughters, and at an
early hour had retired without the slightest
indication of having been given of what
was to follow within the next few hours.
with MIR. ana Mrs. Corbett reside their
two unmarried daughters, Catherin and
Esther, and a married daughter. Mrs.
Charles A. King, with her husband.
When Mr.. COrbett pGrhaSed the plS'oi
no one seemed to know. Apparently, as
he was never known to keep a weapon IN
the house before, he had purchased this
ono with an object. Whether during his
temporary spells Of insanity he had contem-
plated the deed no one can tell.
There is little doubt but what Mr.. Corbett
was temporarily insane when he committed
this horrible deed, and he Inherited the
mania from his ancestors. His sister, Mar
garet Griffin, is now an inmate or the Nepe
Insane Asylum. having been confined there
six years.
Both the old people were natives of Ire
