aged and respectively, and then killed
himself
The Post-Intelligencer correspondent WIS.,
tied the scene OF the murder about a. m.
and found the wife lying In the kitchen on
her face in a pool of blood. In another
room lay the husband on his back with a
Ss-caliber pistol in his right hand. Upon
the bed in one corner Of the room lay the
two innocent victims, his two children.
The children received two shots apiece:
the wife received three, two in the abdo-
men and one In the head, which entered
at the right OF the nose and came out be-
hind the left ear. The first shot was fired
from 4i-caliber rifle which lay upon the
floor in the front room. The rest were fired
from the 3s-caliber revolver. which was
found in Wasgo's right hand.
The woman had fed from the front room
where the first shot was fred, 20 the kit
ed over, and blood. clothing and hair lay
scattered about the room, showing that she
had fought desperately for her life. The
scene presented most horrible appear
ancc.
The history Of the deceased is as follows:
He came to this country about nine years
ago, and has since worked more or less in
the coal mines. He went to his native
country for his wife, whom he married
about seven years ago. He has always been

been thought insane for the last two or
three months. and when his wife was asked
II they should take care OF him her reply
was: "IIe vii. be all right when he gets
over his jealous SPELL
lie and his wife went to a dance at
neighboring house last night, and they
quarreIed with young man named Birley
over his wife, and he threatened 10 shot
him.
Wasgo and his wife finally started home
about l o'clock. II is supposed that the
quarrel was continued and that the hus-
band became enraged. and that the quarrel
ended ~ has been stated.
When the door was finally broken In by
neiehbor IL was found that the youngest
child. the little girl. was still alive. but all
that human hands could do TO revive her
proved fruitless. and she. too soon passed
awsy.
WSsso is supposed 20 have about 1000 IN
money buried about the place somewhere
but all efforts 10 find IL SO far have been

An inquest was held this morning by the
acting coroner. Henry Smith. Jurors were
empane,ed as follows: Foreman, VILLA n

EARLY this morning, finding the trains
would be late, Major Dockweiler and my
self went to Saugus to meet the first Sec
ton of the incoming trains. Immediately
ON our arrival we had a conference with
Colonel Berry In his car regarding the re-
ception Of the troops. stated to him that
they might possibly be a little late, and
asked him II the program could be carried
out. He stated that the program which
we arranged over the phone would be car
ried out. After arriving at River station
Colonel Berry made the statement In the
presence Of officers that he would carry
out the original program to have the pa
rade at the park IL It took until midnight.
The regiment marched as far as Fifth
street, turned down that street to the de-
pot, where the trains were waiting. After

Colonel Berry at Sam Francisco, regarding
a benefit to be rendered the regiment at Los

be carried out according to program, pro-
vided that they reached here ON time. They
were to march from River station, after
having luncheon furnished by the Red
Cross society, up Spring street to Fifth,
down Fifth to the Arcade depot, where cars
were to be furnished to convey the men

be given, after which the Main street rail-
