Tried to Kill Ills Wife and
Brother.
Happily He Was Pre-.
vented Doing Either.
But That Was Not Due To
Officials Of Town.

Rockport. Mass.. January IA rspe.I
tition OF the awful Bergen tragedy Of
last week was narrowly Avertsd here yes
terday afternoon, when James Woods,
guided by disordsred brain, attempted
TO strangle his wife and slsy his brother,
while bis children would probably have
fallen victims to his mania for blood.
I. Even after his terrific assault upon
his wits and his brother, In which both
had a N iraeulous escape. the local autho-
rites upon being called In and finding
him calm and tractable, refused to In
terfere and LEFT him to make a second at.
Tempt at wipiDg out bis family. sud
den shift In the current Of lis thought
drove him from the house and ne has
not been seen since. He lived in q little
house on Cove hill and up to this time
enjoyed an apparently happy home. He
has frequently shown sisns Of mental
dlsorder, and last Saturday when read
log ths details of the Bergen tragedy, ex-
pressed hope that he should never re-
peat such an act. Yesterday afternoon,
while his wife was preparing dinner, he
rushed into the house and seizing her by
the throat, threw her on the floor where
he began to strange her.
His brother John succeeded in pulling
tho frsnzisd man away, but hardly had
hs done 20 when James, snatchipg up a
butcher knife attacked him ferociously,
cutting deep cash in his arm and
throwing him to the floor. Ii is quite
probable that he would have completed
his mad work had not his wife brave
ly come to the rescue with u towel
which she quickly wound about her
busband's neck which such sharp twist
the he WAS forcad to leave his victim.
In the meantime, the children whom
lie had also threatened, were rushed of
70 neighbor's HOUSE by the eldest
daughter and the police notified. BY
the time the officer arrived, however,
Woods Hfter his severe choking, was very
calm and subdued. so that 1t was thought
best to leave him under the care of the
two persons whose lives but few min
utes before, he had vainly attempted
tt Jaks. Scarcely had the Off GERS left
tie house when he once more made ter
Iifo onslaught upon his brother, while
his wife ran down stairs and barricaded
the cellar door. What turned his mind
from the deed OF blood 1t ia Of course i'm
possible to state, for he suddenly lett his
brother gasp,ng on the foor and rushed
from the house into the wild country
behind the town and up to u late hour
tonight had not returned.
John Woods besides the deep wound
in bis throat. had three ribs broken In hts
last struggle with his brother, while
Mrs. " ocds bears the marks on her throat
