| Woman Comes Home to Find Father
| Murdered and Husband Suicide.
Ottumwa, Aug. 13.-Coming home
| from shopping trip to find her aged
father lying prone on the floor dead
from a bullet wound in his stomach,
and her husband. the murderer. a sui
| eide in his room, was the shocking
| experience of Mrs. Nellie DUNCAN, a
| prominent society woman Of this city.
Her father. George Godfrey, resident
| here for over fifty years, owner of
| block after block of West Ottumwa
property, was rated as millionaire,
and for years was one of the leading
business men of this place. Her hus-
band, the murderer-sucide. was three
| times mayor of the city of Ottumwa,
| on the democratic ticket. who for a
number of years was prominent in the
political life of this city.
| DUNCAN had been backed by
his fatherin- law in several ex-
tensive business ventures, all of
which We're failures. 1t is presumed
that the younger man asked the aged
capitalist for further advances and
was refused. There are indications
that quarrel followed, which ter
minated in the shooting of the aged
man by his son-in-law, with a Colt
revolver, in the dining room of the
| home.
The final act of the tragedy was &C
complished in the bedroom of DUNCAN.
| Here, with the same weapon with
which he had inflicted the death wound
to his wifes father, he blew out his
| own brains, the bullet entering his
head behind his left ear.
