Pistol Was Used With Awful
Effect.
By PROVIDENCE, R. l., MAN
Charles w. Meserve Shot wife, Sister
in-Law and Himself Bodies Found
in One Room--Wife Leo to
Unfaithfulness by Sister.

Providence, r. j., Jan. 26--A tragedy
which the police characterize as unmis
takably d case Of double murder and sui
eide became known yesterday when the
bodies Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w, Winn
and Mrs. Charles H. Riggs we're found
at the Winn home in a tenement house
in the residential district Of this city
yesterday. The murderer was the man
Vim, it ii believed, who after shooting
Mrs. Riggs, who was sister of his
wife, killed his wife and then commit
ted suicide. Jealousy is ascribed ais the
motive. The crime was undoubtedly
committed shortly before nine o'clock
Wednesday night, when little girl who
lives downstairs heard the report of sew
eral shots. No one else heard the noise,
however, and as the girl did not tell her
parents until yesterday, the tragedy was
not earlier discovered. When the police
broke into the apartments yesterday
the bodies of all three were found upon
the floor. Mr.. and Mrs. VIM were also
known under the name Of Meserye, and
were about thirty.fve years of age;
they had no children. They came here
some time ago from Maine. Many let
tiers bearing the post marks of various
Maine points were found. Mrs. Riggs
was thirty-two years of age
Inyestigation BY the police and the
finding Of a letter explain the causes of
the crime. II appeared that Mcserve,
who, for some reason took the name Of
VIM when he came here, that being his
middle name, lived happily with his wife
until two or three weeks ago, when
Mrs Riggs came here from Portland.
Then Mrs. Meserve began staying ont
late nights, and on Tuesday the husband
saw both late at night in the company
OF two men. That night there was 4
row, IN which he accused the sister in
law Of inducing his wife to forget her
duties as such and of inducing her to
meet men. Wednesday there was more
trouble, but the two went out again
that night, not returning until near mid
night
The letter found by the police reads
as follows:
Providence, r. T., Jan. "A.
To the Finder; Please telegraph the
finding of these bodies TO Charles Riggs,
9 Boynton court Portland Me, and al
so Mrs. Mary Z, Brown, Limerick, Me.

sweetheart and myself shall be laid side

up my happy little home and caused
this awful crime her husband will take,
and think il will be the happiest day
he has seen for years. have also a
sister in North Myndham, Me-, Susan

Charles w. Meserve,
alias VIM.
The police have taken charge of the
bodies and notified the relatives named

WIFE ORDERED TO GIVE
HUSBAND SIS EACH WEEK
This Is Probably the First Case on Rec.
ord Where the Wife Has Been Or
dered to Support Her
Husband.

New York, Jan. 26.---In law suit end
ed Wednesday between George Sehwaab,
"a years old, and Elizabeth, his wife,
30 years his junior, the supreme court
rendered decision, directing Mrs.
Sehwaab TO contribute to her husbands
support during his life time This is
probably the first case OF the kind on
record.
Schwaab some time ago transferred
his real estate TO his wife, but be as
sorts ii was upon the express condition
that she should return the property to
him whenever he wanted il.
Justice Marean called attention TO the
fact that Schwaah is very old and fee
bic. and, should he award him the real
estate, il was not improbable that some
unscrupulcus person would get II away
from him.
Fl will leave It, therefore, said the
justice, with the woman; but she must
pay him So week as long as he lives
for his support. If she refuses to pay
the s. week, he is to get one-half
interest in the property"

RArE DISCUSSION M SENATE.
Mr.. Tillman Reads Letter Regarding
0ver-Capitalization Of Railroads.

Washington, Jan. 26. Automatically
after the Senate met yesterday, Mr..
Tillmar had read letter from Profess
sor William ID. Marks OF Philadelphia,
regarding the over-capitalization Of rail-
road corporations, in which the writer
expressed the opinion that more than
half Of the railroad securities represent
no real properties nor actual investments
In cash. He analysed the report Of
the railroad commission Of Massachu-
aetts to show that in that state the
total capitalization is about $4,000 per
mile, while he said the cost Of building
and equipping railroads in that state
could not exceed $25,2oO per mile.

STATEHOOD
BILL PASSES
House Concludes Discussion

ABSENCE OE DEMOCRATS
Business, Politics, Sickness Are the Rea-
-Tillman Has Letter on the
Over capitalization Of
Railroads.

Washington, Jan, 26.--With twenty
members in their places, the House at
II o'clock yesterday took up Its special
order on statehood.
The bill passed the House by vote
Of 1914 TO $50.
AS an echo of Wednesdays battle,
Mr.. Lloyd Of Missouri, the Democratic
whip" made an explanation regarding
the thirteen Democrats who were absent
when the vote was taken ON the state
hood bin. "a report is current he
said, ito the effect that some Of the
Democrats Wednesday got away without
voting and did so corruptly.' He then
proceeded to give the cause Of the ab-
sence of the members in question. The
three reasons, business, politics and sick
ness covered all the cases. Basing his
prediction OF the great future develop
ment Of Arizona and New Mexico on the
accomplishment Of his own state, MIR.
Kahn Of California depicted the wrong
that was being done in joining those two
territories in one state Mr.. Mondell of
Wyoming followed in the same line.
The debate then shifted to the other side.
Mr.. Capron Of Rhode Island began a
speech in favor Of the bill, and then said
he would yield to Mr.. Hepburn, if he
would recount the experiences Of the
territories of Maine and lowe. Mr.. Hep
burn complied.
Three times, he said, the people Of
Iowa rejected state hood, and when she
accepted il WA by the bsrest majority /;
four times the territory of Maine re-
fused to como into the union, and her
final acceptance was barely carried.
Should the people Of the territories now
In question vote against coming in, they
would not be dragged in. Asserting that
ninety eight per cent Of the people Of
Arizona were opposed to becoming a
state with New Mexico, Mr.. Webb OF
North Carolina based an argument
against the bill.
