She TOOK PARIS GREEN
Mrs. Jacob Smith and Her Infant
Came Near Death Last Night as
Result of Formers Act.

Mrs. Jacob Smith, of 742 Adams ave-
nue.. ATTEMPTED suicide about Ills
o'clock last night by taking paris
green, and nearly succeeded in killing
both herself and her year-old infant in
arms.
According To the story told by Mrs.
Smith, her husband came home after
having been out to a clam bake and
beat her brutally with horsewhip
when she demonstrated with him for
being away. He then left the house,
she says, whereupon she took large
quantity of paris green and washed it
down with drink of water
She took such a large dose that cx-
Cessive vomiting was Induced with
the result that her life was saved.
Several of the neighbors heard her cry
out after she had taken the poison and
hurried into The house. They found
hcl in a very weak condition with the
infant in her arms. A glance at the
latter showed them that it,, too, had
taken some of the poison, and DR..
George c. Merriman was hurriedly
summoned
When he arrived he found that the
mother was practically out of danger,
but that the child was in very seri-
Gus condition. The child undoubtedly
licked up some of the poison which
had fallen on its mothers dress. DR..
Merriman succeeded in bringing both
mother and child out of danger after
a half hours work.
Sergeant of Police Ridgeway hur-
ried TO the scene in response to a tele-
phone message received at police head
quarters, and discovered Smith in the
house. The latter denied that he had
beaten his wife and said they had
merely had a wordy quarrel in which
she was the aggressor from the start.

years, shortly before o'clock last

which resulted in his death less than
two hours afterwards.
The couple had been married about
five years. They frequently quarreled.
but no direct cause for the awful deed
can be positively ascertained The
murder and suicide was evidently pre-
meditated. The facts. as far as the
relatives know. are as follows:
ON Wednesday, July 81, Davis and
his wife quarreled. and he left the
house in anger. He did not return, but
continued his work as a carpenter and
spent his evenings at the home Of his
father, who resides next door. ON the
following day Mrs. Davis also left the
house and. with her little daughter,
Margaret, went to the home OF a rela-

She Left Home Again.

When she returned home Saturday,
her husband had not yet come back,
and Mrs. Davis left the house. and did
not return again until last Saturday
might. To some of her relatives she
stated that she had been to Atlantic
city, and To others she said she had
been staying with friends in the central
city.
At all events. both husband and wife
were at home yesterday afternoon

woman called on them during the af-

he died about 80 o'clock without re-

DR. Roberts afterwards performed an
autopsy, and found that the bullet
had singcd his hair and entered the

Thn coroner afterwards performed an

found. A jury was empanelled and an

The fact that Davis had premedi,
tated murder was gleane dfrom re-
mark he made to Joseph Menegus, of
1904 Swctland street, a short time be-
fore the shooting occurred Menegus
and Davis were convcrsing at the COR

street, and as the former was leaving
Davis remarked:
We'll. goodbye; | will meet you in
heaven The significance of the re-
mark dawned upon Menegus when he
learned of the tragedy. The crime
was evidently well planned by Davis.
He did not reveal his intentions to
anyone.
His demeanor prior to the tragedy
was exceedingly cool, and he did not
display amy signs of intoxication. al
though Mrs. Tudor intimates that he
had been drinking at intervals during
the day.
