MUT|LATES MAN
WHO ATTACKED WIFE
Doctor Says He Returned Home
and Found Music Teacher,

When DR.. Martin e. Griffith, prom
inent physician of Monessen, Pa ac-
cording to his own statement, returned
home unexpectedly, he says that ne
found A. M. Robertson, Pittsburgh
music teacher, attacking Mrs. Grill
fifth.
With one blow, he says, he knocked
him to the floor, and then slashed him
with a knife. Robertson is in the Char
leroi-Monessen hospital, where he was
taken in an ambulance said to have
been ordered by DR.. Griffith. He IS IN
a serious condition, but will recover,
according to DR.. Griffith, who is watch
ing his condition. He is injured for
life.
The case parallels in many respects
the famous Cudahy case in Omana'
Neb., when the wealthy meat packer
welded a knife on an intruder in his
home.
One of the remarkable features o.!
this most unusual case is tart Dr.
Griffith is about fifty years o J. his
wife about forty-fve and Robertson Is
said to be fifty-five.

The Doctor and Mrs. Griffith have
grown-up children, one of whom is
Jesse, a twenty-year-old boy, who IS
a student in the University Of Pitts
burgh.
No arrests have been made in the
case, and Chief of Police John Wheat
ley, of Monessen, declared that there
would be none until Robertson gets
well enough to attend to it or to ex-
press his desire to have some person
in authority make one.

Ex-senator CuIIom Dies.

Ex-senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, of
Illinois, died in Washington after an
illness of more than week, during
which he lowered between life and
death.
His last words were a dish that he
might have lived to see the compile
ton of the national memorial to Abra-
ham Lincoln, who was his personal
friend. He was the resident member
of the Lincoln memorial commission.
Death was due as much to debility
incident to age, Mr.. Cullom being IN
his eighty-fifth year, as to any par.
ticular malady, although it was direct
ly due to a bronchial affection and a
weak heart.
The former senator's last hours
were divided between periods of un-
consciousness and short intervals in
which he recognized those at his bed
side. Although his wonderful vitality
had sustained life from hour to hour,
it became apparent when he could
take no nourishment that the end was
not far Off.
