TRIPLE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.
Charles HerzOg shoots His Wife and
MOther-in-Lnw and Then Com
mits Suicide.

ST. Louis, June 3.-Charles Herzog,
a laborer, who has made his home in
ST. Louis. since last March, shot and
killed his mother-in-law, Mrs. John G..
Sopp. and fired five shots into the body
of his wife, Wednesday evening, after
which he had shot and killed himself.
Mrs. HerZog was taken to the city
hospital and three of the bullets re-
moved, but the doctors say she can
not recover.
The crime was most deliberately
planned and as deliberately carried
out. The murderer and suicide had
been madly jealous of his wife for
some time. He sought a reconciliation
after he had quarreled with her, and in
every way acted like man whom love
and jealousy had rendered insane. The
tragedy took place in the basement OF
the Sopp home, in a little room scarce
" large enough for the three people
and the washtubs which were stand
ing about. The two women were doing
the weeks washing when Herzog shot
them both down, and then, turning his
pistol on himself, fell at their feet, dy

Washington, June 2.-It has been

that these Filipinos came to thsis coun-

hence may be admitted under the con-
