BABES SEE FATHER KILL
WIFE AND HIMSELF.
Through Jealousy William John Com
mits Double MurdeT-Children's
Shrieks Call Police.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-William Fred
erick John. a well-to-do stonesetter,
who lived with his family in a pretty
cottage at Twelfth avenue and Sew
enty-third street, in the fashionable
Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn, shot
and killed his wife yesterday and then
turned the weapon on himself and put
a bullet in his head. The woman died
Instantly and John was removed TO the
Norwegian Hospital. where he died
several hours later.
The couples two little girls, Rita and
Olive, aged 2 and 4, respectively, wit
messed the double tragedy, and while
the father was firing at the wife the
children crept under the bed and re-
manned there shrieking at the tops of
their voices until the police arrived.
They We're In the bedroom with
their mother when John entered and
started to upbraid his wife, and al
though the couple quarreled for some
time the youngsters paid no attention
to the words that passed between their
parents, and after the shooting they
could not recall anything that was
said.
Mamma and papa was awful mad"
they said. ''and then papa took a pistol
and shot mamma"
Jealousy that had made the pair mis-
cradle for the past year led to the
tragedy. They were married five years
ago and lived happily until John sus-
peeted hat his wife Grace, a pretty
woman 26 years old, cared more for
others than she did for him.
Neighbors told the police hat his sus-
piclons were g%roundless.

SUSPECTS OWN UP
PAIR U HAD BEEN
SOUGHT FOR MONTH.
Police Consider Arrests Important,
Plumber and Junk Dealer Taken
Into Custody.

Importance is attached to the arrest
of William Teebo, known as "Elmlra."
and Joseph5 Culletin, known as Nee
dies" Is and 20 years respectively, by
P1ainciothesmen Kaas and Sebold, of
the Fourth Precinct station. The for
mer gave his address as 1872 Thirteenth
avenue. andrthe latter III South Orange
avenue.
Both were taken into custody last
Thursday on suspicion by Kaas and
sebold, aided by Policemen Salter and
Huebner, and were locked In a cell
ever since. They were put through the
third degree by Captain vogel and Po-
licemen Kaas and sebold, and finally
confessed, say the police, to several
thefts of which they had been sus-
pected, and at the same time admitted
where they sold the stolen property.
Following this the arrest of Joseph
Greenberg, plumber, of so Broome
street, and Abraham Abrasion, Junk
dealer, of Bruce street and Fifteenth
avenue, was brought about.
Max Lippman. proprietor of a plumb
ing shop at 4S Sixteenth avenue. made
two complaints against the prisoners.
They were accused OF breaking and en-
tering and stealing plumbing material
and tools worth $35. On each of these
complaints they were held in default
of $500 bail to await the action of the
Grand Jury. John III. Mersefelder, an
other plumber, accused both of stealing
plumbing material valued at SOS from
houses in the course of construction
at SIS and 60 Rutgers street. On this
complaint they were held in default
of $4,000 bail to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
Llppman says his loss was noticed
on or about August 20, while that of
Mersefelder occurred October IL.
The police were on the lookout for
both prisoners for more than a month
Greenberg and Abrason were also ar
raigned on O charge of receiving and
held 10 $500 ball to await the action of
the Grand Jury.
Several representatives of the Pub
lie Service Corporation looked the pris-
oners over. both of whom will be taken
to headquarters to have their pictures
taken for the rogues' gallery.

Are the Essex County Republicans Reg

they get in line with the State platform,
and stop playing politics and seeking for
votes by advocating principles which they
think are acceptable to the local condi-
lions in Newark? Does the defeat of the
Republican party in Essex last year in
dictate that the principles advocated this
year by the Essex County Republican lead
ers are acceptable to the Essex County
Republicans? VIII not the Republican
party win this year in Essex because of
the excise plank In the State platform
rather than because Of the Colby" excise
plank, which the "Colbyites' say they will
advocate locally?. Is 1t not the excise plank
In the State platform which alone saves

Had the Republican State platform con-
tained the Colby excise plank (the
Democratic platform being in other mat
tiers more "~Colbyized' even than the Re-

excise plank, would the voter have had
cause to wonder whether the two plat

Whatever difference there may be in the
ideas of the Republican voters in Essex on
the liquor question and on the regulations
OF the sale thereof on six days of the
week. DO not the people in the strongholds
of the Republican party in the county Of
Essex believe in the preservation and OBJ
servance OF the American Sabbath, and OPP
pose the opening of the saloon on that
day? Had not the COLBY" leaders in Essex
better take a friendly warning before the
people are thoroughly aroused against
them?

NEGRO Fatally SHOT AT
OKLAHOMA CENTRAL CAMP

to prevent the submission Of the COM
stitution to the voters Of the proposed
state, has received a letter from Judge
David Brewer, associate justice Of
the United States Supreme court, say
ing that he is prepared to give the APP
plication for the writ Of supersedeas
prompt consideration should it be
brought before him.
The purpose Of the writ would be
to keep alive the permanent injunc-
tion against the calling Of a state
election, the injunction having been
dissolved lately by the Oklahoma Su-
preme court. Fortified with writ
Of supersedeas, Woods county then
could perfect its appeal to the United
States Supreme court.
Judge Brewer could not promise
that he would notify the attorneys for
the convention Of the time of the
rearin gof the application for the
writ, as such hearings are usually
ex parte. The attorneys for Woods
county have two years in which Il
make application. It was ASSERTED
week ago that the application woulc
be made within the next ten days, but
il has not been done. The attorneys
for Woods county denied today tha+
the appeal from the Oklahoma Su
preme court to the United States Su
preme court would be abandoned. 1
is probable, however, as H. A. Noah
attorney for Woods county, intimates
the application for a writ of superse.
IDEAS will not be made until after the
republican convention at Tulsa, Aug
| 1st.

Trouble at a Dance Guilty Parties
Make their Escape

Last night at a negro dance at the
home Of Willie Spencer, two miles
west Of Blanchard, Joe Thomas was
shot and fatally wounded
All the parties to the affair were ne
groes employed at the Oklahoma Cen
trail railroad camp. They are bad
set and have given plenty Of trouble.
According to the best report OBJ
tainable, while the dance was in full
swing Thomas was approached by two
negroes who demanded that he de-
liver his gun to them and on his re-
fusal they instantly opened fire on
him. One shot struck him just above
the heart and although he was still
living at o'clock this morning, the
doctors pronounced his case hopeless.
The parties who did the shooting
hurriedly made their escape. Both
are described as tall mulattos, one
wearing a heavy mustache and the
other crippled in one foot. The field
deputy being out of the city, no Off
GERS had been sent here to the scene
up to this afternoon.
