ance With Pact Between Man and
Woman--Hampton Leaves Wife and
Children.

New York, Oct 27.-Louis G. Hamp-
ton, aged go years, assistant secretary
of the United States Trust Company
of this city, shot and killed Victoria L.
Taczkow, aged 80, beautiful woman
in the hotel Griffou late last night and
then committed suicide. Hampton
was infatuated with the woman and
they had been together many times
during the past month. Whether or
not the tragedy was the result OF a
pact between the man and woman to
die together has not been determined,
but circumstances seem to show that
the woman had agreed to die with her
companion. Hampton leaves a wife
and two children.
Miss Taczkow lived with her father
and invalid mother. She was employ
ed in a Fifth avenue department
store. The United States Trust Com
pany Of which Hampton was assistant
secretary is one of the largest and
strongest trust companies in New
York Ex-Secretary Lyman ]. Gage
