Brother Struggles Vainly to Pre-
vent Double Killing.
HUSBAND IN JEALOUS RAGE
Cries Il Have My RevengeP'
Then Drops Revolver-Loses
Memory Of Crime.

Because he thought his wife had been
receiving attentions from another man.
and temporarily crazed by. the revelation,
Isidor Neuman, twenty-nine years old,
fired two bullets into the brain of his
nineteen months son. then turned the
revolver upon his wife and fired three
shots into her head shortly after 6
o'clock last evening in his fathers home,
at No. 11S East sgd street The mother
and child were instantly killed. Neu-
mans brother, Solomon. who was pres
ent in the room at the time of the shoot
ing, had desperate struggle with the
slayer and finally succeeded in wrest-
ing the revolver from his hands.
While Solomon held the crazed man to
the floor. pinioning him to the ground
with his knee, Isidor smiled weakly and
said
II have had my revenge. Don't fear
me now; the gun is empty"
As soon as he regained his feet Isidor
begged his brother for a cigarette, and
pulled it in silence making no further
statement concerning his act When
questioned by the police and Coroner
Holtzhauser. Neuman professed to know
nothing of the double killing.
Neuman's wife, Blanche, who was
twenty-five years old, had been married
to him for five years, and they had been
apparently happy in. their home, at No.
446 West 9th street, until about five
months ago, when Mrs. Neuman is said
to have left her husband and the baby
and gone to Washington In that city
she got work as a~maid in the home of
Congressman j. w. Weeks, of Massachu-
sets, it is said.
The deserted husband continued to live
at the home his wife had left for about
a month, and then went TO the home of
his father to live. About month ago
he learned the address of his wife in
Washington and went to that city and
brought her back to the family home in
East SD street. The man and his wife
appeared to have forgotten their differ
ences. according to their relatives, and
started life anew.
Yesterday afternoon Neuman seemed
in particularly good spirits and insisted
that his young wife take the baby. Her
man, and go to Central Park for the
afternoon. They did not return to the
house until after 8 o'clock and then went
to their bedroom and lay on the bed.
with the baby between them.
A moment or so later the brother
Solomon came in, according to his story
TO the police and the, Coroner, and drew
chair up beside the bed. The baby

1900 PERSONS IN PERIL
The Lituania Runs on Rocks
Vessel Reaches Tynemouth.

London, May 2e.-The Russian steamer
Lituania, which sailed from Copenhagen
on May "a for New York, had a narrow
escape from being wrecked on Friday
evening. The Lituania had twelve hun
dred emigrants aboard and was proceed
ing very slowly, owing to the fog, when
she struck the rocks off Old Head Point,
Pentland Firth, between Scotland and
the Orkney Islands. The steamer held
fast. and many of the emigrants, greatly
alarmed, fell on their knees and prayed.
Fortunately the fog lifted, and after
wireless communication was established
with the warship Bellona, at Invergor-
don, and with Copenhagen. the engines
were reversed and the liner floated off.
The bulkheads kept the water from the
main hold, and the Lituania reached
Tynemouth. where repairs will be made.
