An Insane woman,s Deeds.

New York, October 5.-Mrs. Lillian
Smith, of Inwood, Borough of Man
haitian, while insane today shot her
children, Ethel, aged u years, and
Theodore, aged S years, and then COM
mitted suicide by shooting herself.
Another child lies in Fordham hospital
at the point of death as the result of
carbolic acid burns. Before shooting
h children, Mrs. Smith, with the cum
ming of a maniac, tried to force them to
drink carbolic acid. Long brooding
over the prospect of death is said to
have caused the woman's insanity.
She drove her husband to the station
this morning, n appeared happy and
care-free. She promised to meet him
on his return from the city at night.
1t is believed that she went out in the
morning after her return from the
drive to the train with her husband and
bought the pistol. Where and when
she bought the carbolic acid is a mys-
terry. With the pistol she bought a
box of cartridges. Ten of these were
wissing from the box when it was
found. In the pistol We're found three
discharged cartridges and two loaded.
Mabel, 3 IA old, was killed first,
in h front room in the second floor
of the house. The mother a in
duced the baby to dring carbolic acid.
Then the mother got the revolver and
fired three shots in the chest of the lit
tie one.
1t was about this time that Eth
the eldest daughter, returned from
school. She too tasted the carbolic
acid, but rejected it. Again the pistol
came into play. The mother shot
twice at Ethel, but only one shot TOOK
effect. A few minutes after the little
boy returned from school, entering the
house through the back door. The
mother met him at the door and shot
him, killing him instantly.
After satisfying herself that the boy
was dead, Mrs. Smith returned up
stairs. Walking into the hall she shot
herself in the right breast. The bullet
tore through her body, killing her in
stantly.
An examination disclosed the fact
boy, and Mabel, the little 3 year old
girl, were dead. Ethel will probably
recover.
