SHOT WOMAN BEFORE SUICIDE.
John Watts Of Morgantown Fea-
lures Tragedy in West Virginia.

MORGANTOWN. W. Va, October ST.
tragedy at Hotel MADEIRA yesterday has
caused excitement here. The principals
were John Watts, thirty years old, an
electrician employed at the hotel, and Mrs.
George Massell, employed there as a wait
ress. Watts is dead from pistol wound
through the head and Mrs. Massell is at
the point of death with wound through
the abdomen.
Mrs. Massell left her room to serve an
early breakfast and afterward returned
to change her dress. She had been gone
from the dining room but a few moments
when two pistol shots were fired and
servants and guests rushed to the room
in time to find Watts dying in the room
and Mrs. Massell unconscious. The pistol
lay on a chair near Watts. At a local
hospital Mrs. Massell regained conscious
ness long enough to give her story Of tho
tragedy.
She says that Watts quarreled with her
the night before and that as she entered
and after shooting her committed suicide
1t appears that Watts for a long time had
been madly In love with the woman and
was Jealous of her attentions to other
men. Watts Is married and has two chill
dren, while Mrs. Massell has not been
living with her husband since they left
Baltimore about two years ago. Massell
now lives az Lancaster, Pa. Mrs. Mas
sell is blond and was employed In q

Friends and relatives of Watts express
doubt al 70 the accuracy Of the story
given out by Mrs. Masseli, but the coro-
ners jury returned verdict in accordance
with her statement that Watts had com
mitted suicide

He Taft has no traits which
are erratic or unstable; he is the
embodiment of sense and candor.
He is neither vainglOriouS nor
snowy, but the unbroken record of
his manhood is one of substantial
achievement. There is not in his
composition single grain of
smartness, but those who know
him do not dispute his greatness.
He is neither quarrelsome nor
