TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK.
Woman Found Murdered, With a Man
Fatally Wounded.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Attracted by a
mans cries for help tenants in fiat build
ing in West 40th street today, found Mrs
Mary Emma Kaufman dead in bed in her
apartment and adolph Koenig, aged twen-
ty-six, lying by her side with knife wound
In his abdomen. Koenig said he found the
woman dead when he called at the house
about midnight and that overcome by
grief he decided to end his life.
After making an investigation the police
captain in charge of the case said he was
convinced that the woman's death was due
to violence and that 1t was clearly case of
murder and attempted suicide.
The Kaufman woman was cast off by
her husband about two months ago, be-
cause of her fnfatuation for Koenig, the
husband says. She was twenty-five years
old
