Jerusalem, Palestine, May 3-The
inhabitants have been aroused to the
point of rioting by the operations OF
a party of English archaeologists

Father Murders
Three Children.

Boston, May s.-Thomas Haggerty of
acquaintance on the street tonight told
him he turned ON the gas in the room
occupied by his three daughters, aged
10 and years, last night and that they
were dead. The police investigated, found
the story true and placed Haggerty under
arrest.
1t was a pitiful sight which the police
officers came upon when they entered the
Haggerty home. On one bed in a room
permeated with the fatal gas lay the
three children huddled together as in
sleep.
The three little girls. whose mother died
nearly four years ago, were Margaret,
aged 10 years. Marie, 7, and Anna, A.
Their father had walked down the
street tonight and, meeting some friends.
entered into a casual conversation with
them. Soon he made the statement that
his three children were dead at home
that he had killed them by turning OF
the gas last night and that he intended
to do away with himself in the same
manner. Haggerty was further engaged
in conversation while one of those pres
ent communicated with the police.
Thomas Haggerty had been employed
as butler in the Back Bay until a few
weeks since, when the woman by whom
he was employed died. Failure to secure
another place as pleasant as his former
situation is believed to have proved on
the mans mind and led him to kill his
children. He is 81 years old.
