TERMINATE LIVES
OF MAN AND WOMAN
Shocking Double Tragedy in Lit
tie Town of Plymouth
NO WITNESSES TO CRIME
Clyde Martin Shoots Young W0-
wan Housekeeper and
Kills Himself

Plymouth, Aug. 23.-Clyde Martin,
40 years old, shot and instantly killed
his housekeeper, Miss Edith Archer
"a years old, yesterday afternoon in
the woman's room on the farm where
the couple liyed-as husband and
wife, 1t is claimed. He turned his shot
gun upon himself and fired twice, ole
ball entering below the chin and the
other lodging In the brain. He died
at o'clock this evening.
Jealousy is supposed to be the
cause of Martins deed as the woman,
VINO had been his housekeeper for
five or six years, was about TO leave
him
There we're no witnesses to the
tragedy but Mr.. and Mrs, Cecil Par
ker, who occupied portion of the
house in which Martin lived, heard
the shots and, fearing that a crime
had been committed, hurried to no
tify DR.. Cram of Bridgewater.
From what was overheard by the
Parkers, II is believed that Martin
went to Miss Archer's room on the
second story of the farmhouse and
entered into conversation with her
and a few minutes after went down
stairs, returning with the weapon
with which he killed the woman and
himself.
The shotgun was loaded with heavy
slugs and the shots made terrible
wounds in the heads Of both victims.
Martin face was partially blown
away and the room where the crime
was committed was bespattered with
blood.
There was no evidence OF strug
Iglc.
Both victims OF the double tragedy
az one time lived in Bennington.
Matin is finisher by trade and for
some time was empoyed at the wool
en- mill OF the Holden Leonard com
Ipany. Miss Archer less than three
years ago lived in one Of the second
floor tehements on North street. Il
is understood that aer body will be
brought here for interment.

RAILROAD COMPETITORS

That the Panama canal and motor
trucks are 10 blame for part OF the
financial troubles OF the railroads. is
the assertion of julius kruttschnitt Of
the Southern Pacific. The traffic pass
ing through the canal. ne says. Is In
part subsidized by the shipping board.
while motor trucks. destroy state and
national highways without reCompense.
Mr.. kruttschnitt is doubtless correct
on both counts. The two factors men
toned are not Of first Importance but
they no doubt have some effect. Undue
competition which transcontinental rail-
roads is one Of the valid reasons that
may be urged against free canal tolls
for our coastwise shipping. Another.
Of course. is the fact that tho canal is
supported out Of the national treasury.
into which all it's revenues go, and free
tolls would be a gift from the taxpayers
TO owners Of ships.
Motor trucks cannot be prevented
from becoming competitors OF tho rail-
roads but the fact that they destroy
highways AMI streets without proper
compensation can be corrected. Steps
toward that end are being taken all
over the country. When business Is
normal and rs population increa ses. the
motor truck lines will not hurt the rail-
roads seriously.
