to recov,- his selfpossession and all
went into the dining room again. A
few momen afteTward, Mrs. Edison,
who was wea and trembling from the
ordeal. was assisted to another room
by DR.. Edison.
A moment later, according to the
story OF a man named Woods, who was
working nearby, Edison pulled revol-
yer from his pocket and pointing 1t at
Mrs. Pullen. shouted:
you must go with me. If you don't
elope with me / will see that you go
with me anyway"
In terror. Mrs. Pullen started to run
from the room. She had gone but a
few steps when four pistol shots rang
out The first bullet entered Mrs. Pull
lens cheek and the second entered
the right side OF her head. killing her.
According 20 Wood, Edison looked at
the women a moment and then shot
himself twice in the forehead, and he
fell. his head striking and resting on
Mrs. Pullen's feet.
At the first shot DR.. Edison and Mrs.
EdsCn rushed to the door of the dining
room. reaching there just as Edison
shot himself Mrs. Edison fell TO the
flOCr in a faint.
TIL coroner. after a thorough exam
nation. said the evidence showed the
tragedy was premedltated; that he had
found letters and other papers in Ed
znuse uoccnegipn which showed that he
had had 2 love affair.
Powder marks were found on the
dead woman's face. showing the pistol
had been held very close.
DR.. Edison said last night that init
nations Of improper relations between
his brother and Mrs. Pullen were abso-
lutely false. His brother. he said, had
recently been acting very strangely
and the family had become so
alarmed over his mental condition that
an arrangement had been made TO
have him examined.
The shooting. DIR. Edison declared,
was undoubtedly committed in a mood
Of maniacal frenzy.
There are many indications that
Edison was madly in love with Mrs.
Pullen. On the mans body was found
n letter TO Mrs. Pullen in which he de-
clared his love for her. and in which
he requests her to meet him at a hotel.
