WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT
Husband and Wife Die in a
Suicide Pact.

New YOrk.-Joseph Barrett, on his
way up the stairs Of the apartment
house at $50 Fulton street, Brooklyn,
stumbled against a man. Barrett
struck out with his right hand.
What are you doing here?" he
asked. IT'S you, Bernard, is it.?
What are you doing here?"
"Oh, it's you, Barrett, is it?" said
the man on the stairs. 81 don't know
what to do. I've 30 SO cents between
my family and starvation. What
would you do?"
81 think" said Joe Barrett, 81
would go TO bed and look for a job
in the morning. Go on That's a
good fellow"
With a nod, the man turned into
a third-hoor fiat as Barrett climbed
another fight of stairs to the fourth
floor. Barrett told his wife that he
had met Frank Bernard in the hall
way and that Barrett seemed de-
pressed.
Some hours later, at getting-up
time, Barrett smelled gas. For a
time the odor was hard to locate. He
went up a flight OF stairs and made
sure it came from the Bernard fiat.
He tried the doors All we're locked.
He went to his own apartment and
used the fire escape to the apart
ment above.
In the bedroom of the Bernard
apartment Mr.. Barrett found Frank
Bernard, his wife and two small chill
dren dead on the bed. Gas was rush
ing from opened cocks in the cell
ing chandelier. Mr.. Barrett notified
the police, and Borough Inspector
James Dillon and Capt. B. J. Hayes,
OF the Bergen street station, made
a formal investigation.
II seemed that Mr.. and Mrs. Bern
ard had agreed TO die together and
take their children with them There
was no indication OF a struggle. The
father and mother lay clasped in
each others arms, with their chill
dren, George, four years old, and
Daniel, two years old, in their arms.
After questioning the people in the
house Inspector Dillon concluded
that Bernard had become so despond-
ent because of failure to obtain work
that he had persuaded his wife to
join him in committing suicide.
Frank Bernard was well-known
athletic trainer. He was a member
of the old Union Athletic Club, Pine
apple and Fulton streets, and was
known all over the country as an
amateur athlete. He ran in short
events from 100 yards up to a quar-
ter of a mile, and was also a good
jumper and hurdler. He became a
professional some years ago and con-
tested in the Caledonian and Irish
American games, and in contests In
all parts of the country. He was
successful and well liked.
