HUSBAND
and WIFE
DEAD in HOME
Woman, Grief Stricken at
Death Of Companion Dies
by Own Hard =.
POLICE CHEF DISCLOSES
NEW CASTLE TRAGEDY

NEW CASTLE, Del, March 1S-Mr.
and Mrs. John Henry We're found dead
In their home here last night, the
man having evidently died a natural
death, and his wife, evidently crazsd
by grief, having hanged herself.
Henry and his wife were each about
30 years old. and had lived alone for
a number of years. Neighbors, who
noticed that the aged couple had not
been about as usual during the past
few days, notified Chief Of Police
Tobin. and the latter went 20 the
Henry home about 6 o'clock.
When the officer arrived at the
house he found the wife, Mary Henry,
hanging from a raftor near the kitch-
en- door, box on which she had
stood being pushed aside. The hus-
bands body was found in an inner
room lying on the floor, and clad only
in underwear. 1t is thought Henry
died some time Monday morning, and
that his wife, stricken with grief at
the loss of her companion, ended her
own life.
Mrs. Felix McCafierty. a sister Of
the dead woman. who lives here, and
who has been critically i'll for some
time. has not been told of the tragedy
for fear that the shock would hasten
her death.
A butcher knife, with a blade about
fifteen inches long. lay on table ~
the shed while a cloth saturated with
blood was found near the body. The
moose was formed by using a piece
OF clothesline and making a loop big
enough to pass over the rafter and
allow her to put her head through.
BY the stretching of the clothesline
and her body, the woman's feet Just
reached the floor. 1t is supposed that
she used a small box on which 10
stand so as to reach the moose, and
then kicked away the box.
Henry has been very feeble of late
years, and was unable to leave the
house The aged pair we're greatly
attached to each other, and those who
knew them expressed the opinion last
night that the old man fell out of bed
following a stroke. and that his wife
being unable to lift him back, placed
the bed clothing under and about him.
Then when the angel of death re-
lieved his suflerings the heartbroken
woman lost all reason and ended her
life. City Councilman John Sullivan
stated he saw Mrs. Henry at II
o'clock on Monday morning at Ninth
and Young streets. Coroner Chandler
directed Undertaken Charles II. Gle
we'll to remove the bodies to his
morgue. There were no marks OF
Henry's body. Coroner Chandler will
arrange some time today for holding
an inquest.
The couple lived in a little frame
house which over forty years ago was
taken to its site on rollers. Colored
people we're the first to notice Mrs
Henry's absence, and one of them
who is a servant of DR.. William
Wertenbaker. informed him and he
told Chief Tobin. All ideas of murder
we're secuted from the first on &C.
count Of the couple being so poor.
They had fought for years against
going TO the New Castle County Hos
pital, and their porperty was always
returned as an error for taxes.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are COM

elements that help out the gastric
juices Of the stomach. They are Ma

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not

digest the food themselves. All the
hard work is thus taken off the stom-

Statue at Union station. Washington.
The picture shows one of the six
saint-Gaudens statues which are be-
Ing placed over the entrance to
Washington's union station, where
they will be seen by the hundreds of
thousands of visitors to the city.
These statues weigh about twenty
five tons each, and are the largest
that have ever been cut from one
block of stone. The raising of this
statuary will mark the elimination
of plans for a smybolistic facade
worthy to stand at the entrance to
the national capital, which were
formulated by the late President Cas-
satt, of the Pennsylvania railroad.
