DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
In Drunken Rage Man
Kills Himself and Wife.
Henry 4. Smith Takes Two
Lives at Fitchburg, Mass.
Tries 10 End Life Of a Boarder al His House
But His Aim Is Poor.

Fitchburg Mass, Oct. 15-In a fit
Of ugliness aggravated by the acct
dental upsetting of a cup of tea at the
supper table tonight. Henry A. Smith,
aged 81 years, driver of coal team.
shot his wife Hattie, fatally, and after
firing an Ineffective shot at boarder
ended his own life by shooting a bull
let into his right temple.
one bullet struck Mrs. Smith in the
jaw and as she raised her right arm
a second crashed into her right side.
She died 20 minutes afterwards. The
family was at the tea table and when
Smith jumped up and began shooting
his little 10-year-old son, Henry,
niece named Alice Smith and boarder,
Arthur Harding, rushed from the room.
Smith sent a third bullet after Hard
ing but missed him. The fourth he
used to end his own life and when the
weapon was found there was still an
uncxploded cartridge in it.
Smith had been drinking heavily for
several days and had frequently quar-
relied with his wife over trivial affairs.
Last night he chased her about the
house with an axe in his hand and sho
obliged to seek refuge at the house
Mrs. Hattie Smith. Mrs. Smith was en-
ployed in a shirt factory during the day.
and tonight she arrived home at the
usual time. shortly after O'Clock. Her
husband came in a few minutes later and
half an hour after the family, including
the two children and the boarder, sat
down to the tea table.
According to Harding. Smith was very
~
his wife, who seldom answered him.
At the supper table someone overturned
a cup Of tea. and this seemed to provoke
Smith almost TO madness, for he jumped
up. drew a revolver from his pocket and
fired twice at his wife.
The family live at 30 Summer street.
while Smiths sister. Mrs. Hattie Smith.
lives a short distance away, at No. 80
Winter street. Before anyone in the
neghborhood realized what had occurred,
Smith left the house and went to that
Of his sister. Going up into one of the
chambers he sat down before a looking
glass and ended his life.
When the neighbors rushed into the
Smith house they found the unfortunate
woman lying beside the sink. bleeding
profuscly from her wounded jaw. She
weakened rapidly and died few minutes
after being placed upon a lounge.
1t was not known that she had been
shot in the side until Medical Examiner
II. p. Lyons and two physicians had been
called. The friends Of the family tonight
stated after the tragedy that the family
had not been a happy one. owing to the
habits Of the father and the quarrels. es-
pecially during the past week or two. had
been frequent. Mrs. Smith IS highly
spoken Of by all who knew her.
The family had lived here some years.

Findlay O., oct. 1.-THE end Of the
trial of the Standard Oil Co. of Ohio,
for alleged conspiracy against trade,
came suddenly in sight at the conclu-
sion of the court session today. The
state was precluded by the ruling Of
Judge Banker from offering a line of
evidence intended to show that the
Standard Oil Co authorized it's agents
to offer or give rebates. The court said
that it was a fundamental rule of evil
dence that the authority of the agent
must be established.
"'Then the state will close itss case
in 10 minutes tomorrow" remarked At
torney Phelps. a few witnesses for the
defense will be called but it is said that
the testimony will be all i'll on both
sides before the court adjourns tomor-
row: that the argument of counsel to
the jury can be completed Wednesday.
perhaps in time for Judge Banker to
make his charge to the jury.
An agreement was reached between
Prosecutor David and the attorneys for
the Standard Oil Co. today whereby
the case has been finally disposed Of,
whether this is in the probate court,
tic supreme court Of the state. after
all appeals have been taken. Until to
days agreement the Rockefeller case
had simply been postponed until after
the trial Of the company.
John OErion. superintendent Of the
Buckeye Pipe Line Co.. and +. r. Cur
tin. superintendent of the Manhattan
Oil Co, both took the Immunity bath
before test;fying in the case today
With the exception Of the last witness.
the evidence put in by the state was
from officers Of the alleged constituent
companies Of the Standard, including
the Buckeye Pipe Line Co.
1t was testified to by officers Of the
Buckeye Pipe Line and Ohio Oil Co,
that the Standard Oil Co, Of New Jcr-
sey owned practically all the stock Of
these companies The last witness.
William T.. I-Ish. a local grocer. was
proceeding to tell the jury that when
he first went into business several years
ago hc purchased oil from the National
Refining Co. a local independent con-
ccrr. but that two or three years ago
he was visited by an agent Of til" STAN
dard. since which time he had bought
oil If that company. II" had no means
Of knowing that the supposed agent Of
the STANDARD was such agent and while
Attorney Phelps stated that he wished
to show that this agent had offered and
paid secret rebate I" the witness
since his visit. and that the witness had
bought all Of his oil Of the standard
since that time nc said the state could
not prove that the Standard had given
the agent authority to offer the rebate
ami he evidence was thereby cut short.
It was understood to have been the
intention Of the prosecution to place
before the jury considerable testimony
of the same nature. When Judge
Banker excluded it the prosecution an
nounced that w. l.. Finley, state in
spcctor Of refined oils, would he their
only witness.

Chicago, oct. 15.-Testimony was
heard today before three members Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
relative to the possible existence of q
grain trust. The first witness was a.
T. Aygarn Of Pontiac, Ill. who told OF
his struggles against the Illinois Grain
Dealers Association. Aygarn broke
into tears while on the stand ana II
was necessary to excuse him from Civ
ing further evidence. He declared as
he left the stand, teams streaming
down his face that he had been ruined,
because he had declined to deal with
the farmer and with the track shovel
ers. He declared that the discrimina-
ton against him had been doubled be-
cause the railroads had refused to give
him cars to transport his grain.
