WORRY OVER DEBT
CAUSES TRAGEDY
KILLS WIFE AND COMMITS
SUICIDE
Crippled Proprietor of Roorlng House
Writes Note to Coroner, Then
Shoots the Woman and
Himself

Worry over financial troubles and fail
ure to secure money with which to pay
debts caused Frank T. Edison, proprietor
of a lodging house at 200 East Fifty
third street, to shoot and kill his wife as
she lay sleeping by his side and then
commit suicide some time early yester-
day morning.
The bodies were found several hours
later by Mrs. Barbara Baumgartner,
mother of Mrs. Edison, who went to the
room to awaken the couple.
The woman'S frightened screams called
the dodgers and w. T. Woods, deputy
sheriff was summoned. The coroner was
then notified and the bodies were re-
moved to Pierce Bros undertaking es-
tablishment.
Edison was cripple, having lost his left
leg in railroad accident several years
ago. He was so years of age and his
wife As.
The couple came to Los Angeles from
Oskaloosa, Iowa, about fifteen years ago.
Edison was at that time employed on a
railroad, After losing his leg he was
unable to hold his former position and
times are said to have been hard with
the couple.
A few months ago Edison purchased the
lodging, house which he owned , at the
borrowed the purchase money from Mag
nus Kuhs his uncle. Kuhs held a mort
gage on the property and Edison Is said
to have been unable to meet the interest
when 1t fell due. He also owed money to
F. F. O'Brien, a iodger O'Brien was to
leave the house yesterday and Edison was
unable to pay the $50 he owed. Edison
had also failed to sell lot he owned at
Redondo.
These things caused the man. to brood
over his troubles and for several days his
mind has appeared to be on other things.
When Edison went to bed Tuesday night
he placed his revolver beneath his pillow.
Shortly after his wife went to sleep Ed
son is believed to have arisen. He wrote
a note to the coroner, which he left on
the bureau. He then returned to bed,
drew the covers above his head to muir
fie the report and fired the two bullets
which cost his wife and himself their
lives.
Three persons are deprived of support
by Edson's act They are Mrs. Barbara
Bumgartner mother of Mrs. Edison. and
Mrs. and Mrs. L. L. Edison, parents of
the dead man. All of them are past 70
years of age.
ner was as follows:
Coroner; This is a clear case. Do not
allow Mrs. j. Gehrkens, sister of Mrs:
Edison, to remove or have anything until
c. S. Carpenter or Ward get here, as
have given them full power to act. Mrs
Gehrkens and an uncle. Magnus Kuhs,
are virtually the main cause Of our
trouble. FRANK L. DDSON'
