Two Widows and Two Fam
lies Mourn Irwin's Death
Devoted to Each.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Two
widows and two families Thursday
mourned the loss Of a husband and
father in Arthur Irwin. veteran
player, manager and baseball scout
Irwin, -old by physicians after an
operation that he had only a few
days 10 live, is thought TO have COM
mitted suicide last week by jumping
off a steamer on his way to Boston.
Investigation into his disappear
ance led TO the discovery that he
had two families. one in New York
and the other in Boston.
His New York family consisted OF
a wife and 25-year-old married
son, F. Harold Irwin. The Boston
family number a wife, a 37-year-old
son, Arthur Herbert Irwin, two
daughters and nine grandchildren.
Neither wife knew Of the others
existence and both maintained that
he had been a devoted father and
husband.
The Boston widow, who was his
first wife, said they were married in
1853. She said that she had never
susr ected hlm even though her rel
atives years ago had insisted that he
had another woman in his life.
Married % Years.
Harold Irwin. the New York son,
says that his father and mother
were married p years ago in Phil
adelphia.
The New York widow was slow to
believe the revelation. She said that
in the p years he had never been
away from home more than a few
days at a time when he would make
trips TO look at young ball players
on college teams and in the minor
leagues.
Both widows asserted that their
husband wanted to die in their
arms. The Boston widow pointed TO
the fact that Irwin went first to his
New York family, divided his per-
sonaI possession among them and
started for Boston to be with her
when he was overcome with pain
on the steamer and Jumped over
board.
The New York wido wsays that
Irwin left her TO bid goodbye 70
friends in Boston and was going 70
return to her.
