TWO DEAD, ONE DYING

Chester Druggist Attacks Mother-ln,
Law and Wife With Hammer.
Chester, Pa, March T. - Mrs. Isaac
Abrams, aged so years. was beaten to
death and Mrs. Sadie Chatham, aged 30
years, her daughter, was fatally iniur-
ed by the younger woman's husband.
John 2. Chatham, S5 years old, a prom
lnent druggist of this place. After MUIR
derously assaulting the women Chat
ham attempted to kill his 1-year-old
child and then shot himself in the
head with a revolver, dying later at a
hospital. Mrs. Abrams was found dead
in the sitting room in the rear of the
drug store, her body lying a few feet
away from the unconscious form of her
daughter.
Mrs. Chatham recovered conscious
ness at the hospital and in answer to |
questions said: John did it,"
The baby's head was grazed by |
bullet and one of its ears was badly |
lacerated, but the little one was not
seriously hurt. The weapon used bv
Chatham upon his wife and mother-in-
law was a hammer. The tragedy was
discovered by Emanuel Eliason, a boy,
who went to the store to make a pur-
chase. Finding the place apparently
vacant he peered behind the prescrip-
ton counter and saw the druggist ly-
ing in pool Of blood. He ran from
he store and notified the police.
Mrs. Abrams is the wife of a re-
ipectable mechanic. She was a visi-
OF at Chatham's house and the police
the opinion that she was
there by Mrs. Chatham to
ettle a dispute between the druggist
nd his wife. Her head and face were
eaten almost to a pulp.

MRS. cHADwIcKs TRIAL
Defense Shows She Had Credit of
$4,000 In oberlin Bank.

Defense Shows She Had Credit OF
$4,000 In oberlin Bank.
Cleveland, o., March S.-Nine wit
nesses were examined in the Chadwick
trial, and the defense established the
fact that the claim of the government
that Mrs. Chadwick had no money in
the Oberlin bank at the time of draw
ing checks which were certified by
Spear and Beckwith was incorrect in
two instances at least.
1t was shown that in the general run
OF the bank in November, 1903, when
Mrs. Chadwick received a certified
check for $4,000, an entry crediting
her with that amount was made on the
journal of the bank, and a deposit for
$4,000 was made out in her name. The
entry and the slip were in the hand
writing Of Cashier Spear. Another en-
try OF similar nature amounting to S.
UOO was also found. These facts were |
brought out on cross-examination BY
Judge Wing, counsel for Mrs. Chad |
wick, after long and tedious question
ing of H. H. Avery, assistant cashier
Of the oberlin bank. Avery at first
testified that Mrs. Chadwick at no time /
had neither money in or credit at kbe
bank.
It is doubtful if Andrew Catnepie
will take the stand. District ATTORNEY
said:
1t is not my present intention to
'ut Mr.. Carnegie on the stand. and I
10 not think that he viii be called
lpon to testify unless his evidence
Mould be needed in rebuttaI of some
hing introduced by the defense"
