WISCONSIN MAN
TWICE A MURDERER
DOMESTIC TRAGEDY AT WOOD
STOCK, AN INLAND VILLAGE.
Henry Morrison Shoots His Wife and
Daughter, the Latter with Babe
Clasped to Her Breast-Arrested
While Attempting to Kill the Wife
of Neighbour.

Special to The Journal.
Richland Center, Wis, April 27.-Henry
Morrison killed his wife and daughter at
Woodstock, an inland village thirteen
miles north of this city. He is about 55
and carpenter by trade. He and his
wife had had trouble several years.
About two weeks ago he went to Ohio,
but came back to Richland Center last
Friday and from here went home. To-day
he hired team, which he drove to Wood
stock, where he seems to have become
involved in another quarrel with his fam
lily. AS an end to the dispute he shot his
wife in the face.
A married daughter was at home with
her two children, one years old and the
other babe. She started to run with
the babe in her arms, but her father over
took her a short distance from the house,
threw her to the ground and shot her in
the face.
He then went to the home Of Matthias
Klingaman, where he attempted to shoot
Mrs Klingaman, asserting she had been
the cause of much Of his trouble with
his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Klingaman were
sitting at the dinner table when he en-
tered the house. He aimed the revolver
at the woman, but her husband struck
him with chair, knocking him down, and
then took his pistol from him. Morrison
was arrested and brought to Richland
Center.

GAMBLING STOPPED

Darkness reigns at the local pool
rooms today. The blackboards, usual
ly covered with the names of horses
running at the eastern tracks, are
blank. The old guard enters the rooms
glances at the blackboards and signs.
There was YER little play yesterday.
The houses laid their own odds on
the races and received the results in
the evening after all the racing was
over. No satisfactory arrangement
could be made for today, 30 both were
closed.
What the outcome of the affair will
be is a matter of conjecture. There
is feeling In the city that the action
Of the company is the result Of sew
eral of the big manipulators of the
company attempting to "bear' the
etocks of the company in order that
they may buy them up.
1t is more probable that the order
was issued as a result of the agitation
started by the Hearst papers, notably
the New York Journal. Hearst has
been fighting the matter in his papers
for some time and finally secured the
promise of Prosecuting Attorney Jer-
ONE of New York city to arrest the
principal stockholders in the company
on the charge of abetting gambling.
Among the largest stockholders is.
Helen Gould, and it is stated that the
action Of the company was due to her
desire to escape any possibility of ar
rest on the charge. 1t is reported that
she practically ordered the directors
to take the step they have.

ESTATE
SETTLED

The marriage ventures Of John II.
also known, have caused no little
trouble in settling the estate Of Tor
renee. Terrence was married IN 1857
to Carrie H. Terrence at Troy, N. Y.
He lived with his wife until 1881,
when he left her and enlisted in the
army under the name of Harry Clark.
In June. 1885, under the name Of
Harry Clark he married Emma l..
Blume. One living child remains as
a result Of this marriage. Mrs. Clark
secured a divorce from her husband
in 1897. At this time she had no
knowledge that her husband had been
married before and had not been d.
vorced.
When Clark, or Terrence, died it
was found that he had been married
twice. He left two wives and q child
by each marriage. The question as to
who was entitled to the estate has
been decided by Judge KEENAN,. who
held that his first wife, Carrie Tor
renee, Is entitled to half the estate
and that the balance be distributed
between the two children. The de-
cision was based on the statute Of
Indiana, where the second marriage
took place. This statute holds that
when a marriage is void on account
Of former marriage the issue Of the
marriage shall be deemed legitimate
where the innocent party was not
aware Of the disability at the time
the marriage was contracted.
The estate is small one, there be-
ing little over 5000 to be distributed,

Mrs. Bringgold is making her fight
