FAMILY OF THREE DEAD.
Former st. Louisan Left Note Saying
His Wife Killed Their Baby
Boy and Herself.

Cincinnati, March 23.-A mysterious
tragedy here at the home of A. M.
Betty, local manager of the Wash
burn Crosby mills of Minneapolis, has
come to light. The dead bodies of A.
M. Betty, his wife Lulu and their boy
Harry, aged 20 months, were found by
neighbors Sunday night. A note writ
ten by Betty was found in which he
accused his wife of killing the babe,
and the police think the woman may
have killed herself and babe on ac-
count of domestic troubles. 1t is
stated that divorce proceedings had
been instituted two years ago and
were withdrawn before the birth Of
their boy. Betty, it is thought, found
the dead bodies on his return home
last night and then deliberately took
his own life. The body of the babe
was found in the basin with no marks
on it whatever. 1t is thought that
Betty took it from the crib and tried
to revive it by turning on the water,
When he found it dead he lay down
beside his wife's dead body to die
from asphyxiation, and in that posi-
ton their bodies were found. The
odor of the gas led to the search that
disclosed the three dead bodies.
While there are indefinite reports
about Betty's troubles 1T home he
was prominent in business circles
