The possibility that a fourth per-
son figured in the pistol and hatchet
tragedy which was enacted yester-
day afternoon at 500 Ninth street
northwes was opened up this morn
ing, and is being investigated by the
police department.
An autopsy on the bodies OF the
three victims showed that Theodore
Apostolos Koukos, referred to as
the older man" in the tragedy. re-
ceived bullet wound in the head
as well as a fracture Of the skull By
a blow from the sawed-o0e hatchet
which figured in the tragedy. .a-s.-
None Of the pistol wounds, accord
ing to District Coroner j. Ramsey
hewitt, could have been self inhicted.
Each of the victims was shot in the
back of the head. The death Of Jean

"the younger man, shortly after Z

The police in their investigation are

upheld by the fact that $1,000 was

NEW YORK, July 26.-The pretti-
est two and a half year old girl

thinks so--is for sale for $3.50. Her

mother, Katherine McNulty, and
father came to this country from
Ireland several years ago.
McNulty has been dead three years.
and the mother has supported the

March she was attacked with infu-
enza, which developed tuberculosis.
She since has been unable to wo:k.
and has been dependent upon friends.
Th physician said she needed fresh
air, and that alone would cure her.
She could not be cured and take
care OF the child, too.
SO one Sunday she inserted an ad-
vertisement in newspaper Offering

called on Mrs. McNulty and asked

LONDON, July 26.-The Greek Of

MIXED WIFE DEATH
DRINK GETS LIFE
Woman Not a Suicide, Supreme
= - Court Rules, Uphoiding
Sentence.

DETROIT, July 26.-The wife OF
Frank c. Roberts lay helpless on her
deathbed, a victim of multiple scle-
rosis.
In her agony she prayed and begged
for an end to her misery. Once be-
fore she had sought death by drink
ing carbolic acid, but had been
brought back into her world OF pain
by medical skill. But now that skill
could do nothing for her.
Wont you mix some paris green
with water and put it beside me-" she
pleaded with her husband, and Rob
erts did so.
She drank it and died.
The Supreme Court of Michigan has
ruled that Roberts is a murderer and
must spend the remainder of his life
in solitary confinement. The court
has precedents for this action. and
quotes the law as follows:
"He who kills another at his own
desire or command is a murderer as
much as II he had done 1t with his
own hand; and the person killed is
not a suicide"
The direct cause Of Mrs. Roberts
death was learned at an autopsy.
Roberts was arrested and confessed,
telling how his wife, suffering and
desirous of death, broke him down
with her petitions.
He was tried and found guilty. His
lawyer appealed on the ground that
suicide was not a crime in Michigan.
But the higher court ruled that his
wife was not a suicide. and that he
was guilty of murder in the first de-
gree as an accessory before the fact,
adding:
The trial court could have imposed
no other sentence than it did. The de-
cision holds"
