Clinton, July 13.-An awful tragedy
was committed here yesterday after
noon, when Simeon Riggs, foreman at
the Fish wagon works and Well
known man in this city murdered his
wife and Their blew out his own brains
With the same pistol that ended the
life of his wife. Riggs had been drink
ing heavily for the past three weeks
and it is believed that while under the
influence Of liquor he committed the
years old. and his wife, whose maiden
name was Inez Ball, was few years
his junior. They leave five children,
ranging in age from IL to % years.
The body OF Mrs. Riggs was found In
the kitchen on the floor. She Was shot
in the back Of the head, the ball lodg-
ing just over the right eye. 1t is
thought RIGGS entered the house and
placed the revolver at the back of his
wifes head and fired the shot, which
caused instant death, as the brain was
pierced. He then went into the sitting
room and fired Il bullet into his head,
the ball entering az the right temple
and crashing thru the brain. None OF
the children were at home and there
were no witnesses to the tragedy.
Neighbors residing but 81 few yards
from the house noticed nothing unusual
and no one heard the fatal shots. Riggs
was about the city in the morning and
appeared to be in good spirits. How
ever, for the past several days, he had
caused his family considerable annoy
ance and the police were called but ex-
perienced no trouble in quieting the
man 1t was suggested that Riggs be
locked UP but his wife and children
objected to this, saying they preferred
to keep him at home and avoid the dis
grace of an arrest. The pistol with
which the crime was committed is a
80 calibre and was doubtless purchased

four OF which We're loaded.
