MOTHER STAYS 3 CHILDREN
Buffalo Woman, Suddenly De-
mented, StrangIes Little Ones.
Killed in Their Slcep-Says She Did
Not Want Them to Grow Up
Crazy, Like She Is.

Buffalo, N. Y.-Mrs. Bertha Mund
strangled her three children, Christie
pher, aged eight; Helen, aged two,
and Freda, aged eight months, at
their home, 925 Clinton street.
She then went to the Pennsylvania
Railroad yards, where her husband
is employed as a member of a wreck
ing crew, and informed him of her
action.
When Mrs. Mund met her husband,
she said: Fred, l have made away
with tho three children; come home
and see."
Mund hurried home with her and
when they reach Il the house the
woman sat down at a table and began
to cry. Mund telephoned to the police
and Patrolman Larkin found the cou-
pie at the table crying.
Officer Larkin arrested the woman
and she was taken to police head
quarters, where she said:
Il killed the children because l did
not want them to grow up and be
crazy like me-"
The police say she doesn't realize
the enormity of her crime and that
she killed the children while suffering
with a sudden attack of insanity.
She has been i'll with nervous trouble
for about six months, but had not
given any signs of mental derange-
ment.
Mrs. Mund killed the boy Christ
first. He was asleep on a mattress in
the parlor. She wrapped a blanket
about his head, covering his face, tied
a clothesline about his neck, turning
it around three times, drew it tight
and fastened it by several knots.
When found his body was half on the
mattress and half on the DOR, face
downward.
Helen was next slain. This child
was asleep in a crib in the parlor.
Mrs. Mund wound a clothesline
around the little ones neck twice,
and after strangling the child she
carried the body into the bedroom,
put it on the bed and covered it with
a quilt.
Freda, the baby, was the last vic
tim. She was asleep in a baby car
riage in the kitchen. Mrs. Mund
killed her in the carriage. She tied
a pie"e of clothesline about the baby's
neck ICE and fastened it in two
knots.
The appearance of the body indi-
Gated that the little one lived only a
moment or two after the fatal cord
was frightened about it's neck.

Prayer is an art, a holy art, to be
acquired by diligent and persistent
effort. Lord, teach us how to pray"
is a petition that we may well and
frequently offer. "For we know not
what we should pray for as we
ought" Our vision is dulled by sin.
The weight of material things presses
us down to the earth and forbids us
to rise into the presence of God.
Right praying is thoughtful, rever-
ent, humble, sincere, persistent. 1t
is a wise thing to study the prayers
of holy men of all ages, and espe-
cially wise to study devotional pass
ages of the Book of books. So shall
our souls be kindled by contact with
