Kills E.stranged Wife as Baby
Looks On, Then Commits Suicide
Joseph Bakense Passac Inventor Had Been Unsuccessful
for Six Months in Efforts to End Separatlon-Entefeo
Her Room in Early Morning Through Window

new rife lock for the sake OF re-
united family.
His actions became so threatening
that Mrs. Bakenser, several weeks ago,
had him arrested. In court he offered
TO support her, but she said she want
ed only TO be protected from his ad,
vances. lie was freed after he had
promised 10 cease his visits.
II was shortly after o o'clock TINS
morning when Mrs. Farnetty, the
housekeeper, was aroused by two pls-
toll shots. She traced the sound TO
Mrs. Backenser's room, but found the
door locked.
with the assistance Of the police, the
latch was broken. The wife lay be-
side her baby, who was whimpering
softly. There were no signs OF a
struggle in the room, from which the
police conclude that the woman was
not aroused by her husband before ne
fred the two shots through her heart.
Police Organize Posses
The murderer had disappeared, but
an open window showed how he had
gained entrance to the bedroom, and
how he had made his escape.
The house fronts on one OF the
main streets of Passaic, and police
and a large throng had gathered in a
few minutes. At the rear Of the house
flows the Passaic. and between the
river and the fence is a piece Of land
from which there is no way out.
Bakenser, it is believed, found him
self suddenly confronted by the deep
water, with the only other alternative
left Of scaling the fence again, where
he would face the certainty Of falling
into the hands of the police.
He chose the only way out when he
fired the shot into his own temple.
No one heard, and the body was not
discovered until curiosity seekers,
gathered on the opposite bank Of the
river, told the police there was an In
toxicated man in danger Of falling
into the river. A quick search brought
the body to light.
Bakenser, who was th!rty-two, had
been a travelling salesman before he
began 10 work on his invention. and
was still connected with an electrical
appliance concern. He is said to have
taken out several patents.
The little witness Of the murder,
-year-old Virginia, was taken 10
the home of relative at Lyndhurst.

PASSAIC, n. j., Sept. 2.-Joseph
Bakenser, an inventor, shot and Killed
his wife as she lay asleep beside her
two-year-old child this morning,
escaped from the scene Of the murder
by leaping over a high fence, then sent
a bullet into his brain when he found
himself trapped, by the Passaic River.
a short distance away.
The speeding vengeance exacted by
the river brought TO a dramatic close
a man-hunt which had been started In
a score of neighboring towns. For
more than seven hours police offiials
and posses of citizens kept up the
search, while the body of the inventor
lay half hidden in the weeds OF the
riverside, 300 yards back of the house.
Separated Six Months
Six months ago Mrs. Virginia Baken-
ser left the home of her husband, at
1873 Marion Avenue, Lyndhurst, n. j.,
taking her two-year-old daughter with
her. The separation was brought about
by the husbands neglect of his bust
ness while he applied himself TO the
perfection Of rife lock which he was
sure would revolutionize small-arms
fighting.
Repeatedly the wife begged him to
stop spending all his money on his in
vention to the neglect of herself and
their household. He replied that the
invention would make them all
wealthy, and kept on with logged per-
sstency.
Mrs. Bakenser came TO Psssaic then,
engaged a room for herself and baby
with Mrs. Walter Farnetty at "a Wall
Street, and started 20 work in one Of
the mills here. For a time she was
left unmolested, and appeared happy,
neighbors said.

Protective standards for labor have

On the issue OF working hours, Ne
