-FOUR DIE AFTER
MOTHERS THREAT
When Young Son Is on Trial as
Incorrigible Woman Takes
Death Oath.

Bridgeport Conn.,, October a0.-AfteN
shrieking in court that she would kill
herself ii her son We're committed to
the Connecticut State school,, for Boys,
Mrs. Annie HarchariclI, OF this city.
yesterday was found dead from gas
asphyNiation. In the house also were
found the bodies of her husband and
two other men, who had been stilled
by breathing the poisonous illuml-
nant.
Clifford b. Wilson, coroner, is not of
the opinion that the woman sought to
murder the three men, but looks upon
the tragedy as result of the dra-
matte scene in the City Court.
Peter Perhalla, the son of Mrs. Har.
charick by former marriage. was
urraigned before Judge Wilder on
Thursday last charged with incorrigi-
bility. The woman dotted on the boy,
who was fifteen years old and de-
spite the trouble he had always given
her. she spent her small savings to
obtain a lawyer TO argue in his favor.
In the courtroom She sat tense and
rigid. her eyes fastened on her son
with a longing, hungry look. her mind
alert to catch every little bit of the
proceedings. Only when the inter-
prefer repeated questions or answers
in Hungarian could she understand
From questions addressed 10 wit
nesses the mother apparently feared
that the boy would be convicted. Sud
denly she cried:
81 will die if you take him away
from me-
Then she tried to rush to her son
and became SO hystcricnl that the
Judge ordered her to leave the room
This she refused to do. When attend =
ants forced her from the court room
she cried out in hungarian. The judge
asked the interpreter what she had
said.
"She took a great oath that she
would kill herself" he said. There.
she has just screamed again:--'You
take my son away from me, and Will
kill myself"
Perhalln was convicted of several
petty thefts, and was sent to the re-
form school at Meriden, Conn. The
mother received the news wildly, but
soon composed herself and it was
thought that she was resigned TO the
fate of her boy.
Yesterday morning Theodore oralus,
living on the floor below Mrs. Harch-
arick mt No. 27l Helen street, detect
cd q strong odor of gas. Tracing 1t
TO the Harcharick's floor he tried to
enter their rooms. but the gas drove
him back. With wet cloth over his
mouth he scrambled along the floor To
{; window and opened il Then lIe
hurriedly dragged the bod es of the
four persons from the room and shout
ed for help. An ambulance surgeon
said that the woman and three men
had been dead some hours. Beside Mrs.
Harcharick and her husband. the dead
were John Prcvusnack, nephew OF
Mrs. Harcharick and John Kepescr,
who boarded with them.
A wide open valve where n meter
had formerly been placed was allow
ing gas to pour into the rooms whcrs,
the Harcharicks had lived.

Premier Laurier, of Canada, has ap,
pealed to the country on the reciproci-
ty issue. A new parliament is to be
chosen at an. election to he held Sept
81, and if the premier is sustained by
a majority, then reciprocity will car
ry, but if majority is returned
against him, the premier will lose his
Office and the pact fail There is go
ing to be a hot time in Canada from
now until election, as there are strong
advocates on each side, and besides
the present ministry have their official
positions at stake. But the chances
are that reciprocity will carry there
as well as in this country, and if it
does, it will prove blessing to both.

means but it is a step in the right di-
rection, an opening wedge to still
freer commercial relations between
two great neighboring nations with
