Seventy-siXth street where her two
daughters, Agatha and Ruth, lay Sleep
ing, early today. and shot Agatha, the

tempting to harm Ruth, then killed her
self. Temporary insanity due to worry
over the daughters i'll health is assigned
as the reason

Waters, a welI-to-do insurance broker,
and was 50 years old. Agatha was &c and
Ruth is II.
The mother. who had been melancholy
for a long period, had grieved over the
thought that Agatha, who was her al
most constant companion, expected to
sail for Europe next Tuesday iii the hope
of recovering her health. During Sum
day the mother had displayed no symp-
toms of mental disturbance, but had
spent a portion of the day in planning
the trip which Agatha was to have in
Europe
About o'clock this morning Mrs. Wa
tiers entered the room occupied by the
two girls and. placing the revolver at the
temple of her daughter fired, killing her
instantly.
She then left the room and as she
descended the stairs she sent a bullet
into her own head. She died almost in
stantly, her body falling at the feet of
her husband, who had been awakened
at the first shot. and was hurrying for
ward to ascertain the cause for it.
