ternoou for the remains of Walter
Vermilyea Robinson of New York.
who shot and killed his wife and tn
committed suicide at their home last
Thursday.
Mr.. Robinson was a former resi-
dent of this place. His parents be-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews Robin.
son, they formerly living at East
Keyport moving to New York city
when the dead mar was a small
child. The deceased was the grand
child of Mrs. l, ". Robinson, sister
of Carrot Post OF Second street, and
of the late Andrew Post OF East Key
port.
The services were attended by a
number of relatives from this vicin-
ity interment being made In Green
Grove cemetery; Rev. l. s, Yerks OF
Calvary M. E. church officiating. The
particulars of the awful tragedy,
of which the curtain fell upon al
this place yesterday afternoon are as
follows:
Accusing his young wife of recetv-
ing attention from other men, Wal
ter Vermilyea Robinson, shot and
fatally wounded her in their home at
No. 1869 Park avenue, the Bronx,
Thursday afternoon and then killed
himself. His wife, Mrs. Marion Rose
Johnston Robinson who was nine
teen years old. lived an hour before
she died in Fordham hospital with
three bullets In her body.
Soon after the shooting. William
C. Hobson, mentioned In a letter left
by Robinson, was arrested in the
Robinson home and held by Coroner
Healy in $4,000 bail as a material
witness.
Robinson. who was twenty-five,
was a graduate of a technical school
and was employed as an electrical
engineer by the Commercial Elec-
trical Company, Long Island city.
Mrs. Robinson was the daughter OF
John w. Johnston, who has the con-
tract for the plumbing work in the
new Municipal building. They were
married last April and had lived
with her parents. Frequent quarrels
the yOuuS COUPE uuu btel
witnessed by the wife's family, who
believed Robinson insanely jealous,
particularly Of Hobson, who is chauf-
feur for the building department,
and who lives at No. 1905 Park ave-
nue. Robinson did not go to work
yesterday. and he and his wife had
several quarrels during the day; a
little before 5 o'clock, Mrs. Robin
sons sister who was in the basement
of the dwelling, heard three shots
and ran upstairs.
She found Mrs. Robinson on the
floor with a bullet hole in her check
another In her right breast and a
third in her abdomen. Screaming,
her sister ran from the house and
called several policemen. AS they
entered they heard three more shots
from an upstairs bedroom, where
they found Robinson dead. He had

shot himself in the right temple the
right side of his neck and then
through the heart, with a pistol
which he still held in his hands.
Near his body vas a letter which
Robinson had written, apparently af-
ter he had shot his wife. In 1t he
wrote:
81 haven't committed this deed
without due consideration. My wife
has been going out with other men
right under my nose; going out au-
tomobiling with this man Hobson,
who is a married man. She even told
me he was going to get a divorce 50
he could marry her. Wednesday
night when l came home who was in
the dining-room but Hobson?"
Here Robinson bitterly denounced
his wife's mother, who was too i'll in
bed to be seen by the police, and con-
tinued:
Il know she Is at rest now and
in no temptation. know / won't be
forgiven but | must do this. Ask
my mother, to forgive me, as | love
her, but | haven't shown it. Hoping
/ shall be forgiven, | remain, a heart
broken husband,
w. V. Robinson"
When Coroner Healy read the
note, a young man In the room said
he would inform Mrs. Robinson's
father of the tragedy. He was de-
tanned and proved to be Hobson. He
declared his relations with Mrs. Rob-
inson always had been proper, al
though he had taken her for numer-
GUS automobile rides. The family
said that Robinson had been unduly
Jealous of his wife since they were
married.
