FATAL GIFT OF BEAUTY
Leads Up to Unusual and Most Sem
sational Scandal of the
Decade.
FATAL GIFT OF BEAUTY

New YORK, Jan. 3--Honry Edoy.
millionaire broker, today shot and
killed his wife and then took his own
life. The double tragedy was en-
acted at the costly home Of the
broker at Great South Bay, Dellport.
l.. l., which for six months had been
the storm center of most unusual and
sensational social scandals OF the
decade.
In the events that led up to the
murder ana suicide it was charged
that Mrs. Edey, described as "the
daughter OF a fisherman who pos
sessed the fatal gift of beauty" was
alleged to nave eloped with Gard
ner Murdoch, keeper of livery
stable at Bellpcrt. The Edeys had
just been reconciled whe nthe news
OF the tragedy shocked the country
side. Mrs. Edey was Katherine
LlebenoW. Her father was a fisher
man Of Amithyville and the girl was
noted for her beauty She became
the wife Of Edey after his divorce in
5aoi from Mrs Lottie Carlton Edey,
and II was charged that Edey was
paving court to a beautiful young
woman pending fac divorce proceed
ings.
Last August She departed from
the costly residence built by her
husband. Gardner Murdoch, the VIII
LACE liyeryman, was found to be
missing from his home. Mrs. Edey
later returned to her husbands home.
Il was stated that the elopement
story had been a mistake and that
Mrs. Edey had merely been taking
trip.
When the neighbors learned that
Mrs, Edey had exhibited her fond
ness for Murdcck they had only
picked up half of the strange story
that completed hit etale of domestic
trouble, The next chapter had Mr.
Edey and Mrs Murdoch wife of the
liveryman, constantly in each Others
company and apparently satisfied
with the exchange of husbands and
wives.
The attention paid by Mr.. Edcy to
Mrs. Murdoch led to a fight in the
Murdoch home. The lveryman and
the broker went at it rough and
tumble, and the fight was the pre-
Jude to meetin gat which it was
agreed that separations should fol-
low. In the conference We're Mr..
and Mrs, Edey and Mr.. and Mrs.
Murdoch. 1t was held at the rich
mans home.
That the filing of a $4,000 dam
age suit for alienation of affections
which would have reopened an old
scandal caused Edey's deth, was re-
vealed this afternoon was learned
that two days ago papers We're served
on Edey in suit brought by Gard
ner Murdoch, who charged alienation
of Mrs. Murdock's love.

WILL ASK funds
| TO FINISH ROAD
At 18TH Street
Leading to Greenfield Ferry Found
Necessary BY Retail
Merchants.
PART ALREADY COMPLETED
Of Substantial Character and wilt
Withstand Flood Stage
of River.

The attendance at the meeting last
night at the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION was very well attended, the
session lasting over two and one-haif
hours.
This time was spent In general
discussion OF AFFAIRS relative to the
past and future improvement Of local
retail trade. Ii
Principally the matters discussed
related to a continuance OF the re-
bate In fares to out-of-town pur-
chasers, the great success attending
the first application during the holi-
days being SO pronounced as to war
rant the further continuance OF the
plan.
The secretary will send out an adj
ditional $1,000 pamphlets advertise
Ing the extension of time of a refund
Of fares.
The second most important matter
to be taken UP was the road back OF
the city to the Greenfield Ferry at
ITwenty-eighth street. Upon this
road the past year has been expended
considerable money, approximately
$500. but It will necessitate the rais-
| Ing by subscription OF nearly one
Thousand dollars to pay or some IN
| dehtedness outstanding on account OF
the construction of this road, which
Is not yet as complete as desired
although the work done Is OF per-
manent character, the sides being
rip-rapped with stone SO as to keep
1T from being washed away by floods
as was the case last spring.
However. TO complete the road it
is necessary to raise the money
through public donations and COM
mittee was appointed for that pur-
pose.
The city will be requested to
donate the old broken up concrete
taken from the damaged Commercial
avenue sewer for the purpose of as
sisting to build the remaining neces-
sary portion of the road at the ferry
landing.
AT a meeting of the county COM
missioners January % John o. Arm
teen will apply for a license to oper-
ate a ferryboat at this place.
II developed at the meeting that
the traffic at this landing is greater
than the ordinary person. not con-
versant with the facts, has any idea.
At one trip Of the boat % farmers
wagons and three buggies came over
and the opposite shore in Missouri
was lined with additional wagons
awaiting return trip of the boat.
