TRAGEDY IN new
YORK OVER WAR
Minister Kills Wife and Mother-in-
Law After Heated Argument
Over Situation in Europe


Because his wife. and mother-in-law
persisted in upholding Germany while
he stood up for America in an argu-
ment that lasted al night, the Rev.
Robert F. Berry, pastor Of the Con-
gregational church in the Bronx
manor section Of Yonkers, Sunday
shot and killed both women. He
wounded his sister-in-law, who es
capped by feigning death, and then he
committed suicide. Three young chill
dren, daughters of the clergyman and
his wife, were in their room. Their
father made no attempt to harm
them.
The police obtained their explana-
ton of the tragedy from Miss Caro-
line Bahr, Mr.. Berry's sister-in-law.
Mrs. Caroline Bahr, mother of Miss
Bahr and Mrs. Berry, was the other
victim of the tragedy.
Miss Bahr, according to Police
Captain Brady, said that Mrs. Bahr
was born in Germany and with her
daughter, Mrs. Berry, was strongly
pro-German. Ever since the United
States entered the war, she said,
Berry and his wife and his mother
in-law have had repeated and heated
arguments over the war question.
Mr.. Berry was about 45 years old
and had been a clergyman for about
twenty years He was leader in
patriotic movements and was the
head Of the local Home Guard, which
he helped to organize.
