A TRIPLE: TRAGEDY
Kills Wife, Fatally Wounds
Mother .in.Ldw. SIdySSef.
KAYlAlD THEM ON ROAD
Deserted Husband Shot Down His
Child Vile While She Carried
Sleeping Infant in Her Arms.
Baby Uninjured.

Staunton, Va, Oct s.-A horrible
triple tragedy occurred near Millboro
in Bath county, forty miles southwest
of this city. when Edward Mace shot
and killed his wife, mortslly wounded
his mother-in-law and then ended his
own life.
The murdered wife was but fifteen
years old and carried baby In her
arms when she was shot. She had left
her husband but a short time ago on
account of brutal treatment and re
turned recently to the neighborhood.
AS soon as Mace learned OF her
presence he armed himself with a sin
gle barrel loading shotgun and full
supply OF ammunition and then secret
ed himself close by the roadside along
which his wife and mother-in-law had
to pass.
AS they came along the road Mace
sprang from the underbrush. and with
the remark: Il will fix you both, he
shot to death his wife, who held their
sleeping infant In her arms.
Reloading the weapon, he imme-
diately turned 1t upon the mother-in-
law with deadly intent, the load tear
ing a wound In her left side. from
which it is thought she will die. Re
loading a third time. Mace placed the
weapon against his body, pulled the
trigger and ended his own life
There were no eyewitnesses to the
tragedy, but the shots and screams
were heard from a nearby farm house,
the occupants rushing to the scene too
late to be OF any assistance, only to
fnd the lifeless bodies of husband and
wife and the mortally wounded form
Of the mother-in-law.
The infant was unhurt and still lay
peacefully asleep in the embrace OF
its lifeless mother
