to the Washington Asylum Hospital
this afternoon. Claude Smith. a son.
living at Lodi, is expected in WASH
ington this evening to look after the
couple.
Becoming violent when he was re-
moved to the hospital, Smith had to
be restrained. Mrs. Smith told the
physicians that her husbands mind
had been affected by a severe attack
of the grip from which he never fully
recovered, and the physicians. after
talking with the wife, were convinced
that she was on the verge of a mental
breakdown.

the doctors quote Mrs. Smith as saying.

lives.

Mrs. Smith told the doctors that her
husbands mother, who Is eighty years

the grip. and during that time she
nursed the aged woman. The elder
Mrs. Smith had nor fully recovered
when her son became Ill with the same
disease. The attack, Mrs Smith said,
apparently affected her husbands mind,
and the strain and work during the
long siege had seriously imperiled her
own health. She said her husband had
been threatening to commit suicide for
some time, and that yesterday. after
he had taken the poison and she be-
lieved he had accomplished his purpose,
she. too, decided to die.
