Streator, Aug 1,-lSpecial. Using
razor as weapon, Ray Detmering,
aged 2S years, yesterday morning
killed himself and his eighteen month
old son, Robert. at his home, 7O6
West Bridge street, in this city. The
double tragedy occurred while his
wife, Mrs. Gertrude Helm Detmering.
aged 10, had gone across the street
to phone for a physician to keep her
husband from harming himself while
suffering fit of temporary insanity.
Mr. and Mrs Detmering and their
son arrived home yesterday morn
ing at o'clock from an auto trip to
st. Paul, Minn. After the Staying
Mrs. Detmering stated that during the
three days trip home her husband
had acted queery and made threats
to make way with the family
At o'clock yesterday morning,
Detmering ran to the home Of a
neighbor and told them they had bet.
ter call someone, as he felt queerly,
and something was going to happen.
II is claimed that the neighbOrs phon-
ed for the police but that they did
not respond to the call.
At o'clock fearing her husband
would make way with himself, and
perhaps harm her and their child,
Mrs. Detmering summoned Dr. Dicus,
who went down to the house and re-
hA Iaft
Detmering again began making
threats to kill himself.
Don't touch the baby. will yOu?'
begged his wife.
"All right. won't he responded
This occurred Just at 1920 O'Clock.
Mrs. Detmering then ran from the
house across the street to the home
of Mrs. Louis Doolittle, to again sum
mon a physician. She returned ten
minutes later and a CHASTITY sight
greeted her as she neared the front
door Seated on the floor of the liv-
ing room was her husband, with his
throat cut and both wrists slashed
She screamed loudly, and James
Dixon and Louis Doolittle ran to her
aid. Inside the house in the bedroom
they found the baby, with his head
almost severed from his body His
death had been instantaneous as his
father slashed his throat
Detmering was by that time lying
on the floor although he was still
conscious They asked him why he
had cut his little sons throat, and
he replied that he was tired of the
baby"
He was removed to the hospital in
the ambulance, where he died at
2:30 o'clock the same afternoon.
Detmering came to Streator from
Kansas City about three years ago
He secured work as a car builder in
the Streator barns. He has been out
of employment for a long time. and
it is believed that this might have
preyed on his mind
A year ago Detmering suffered a
nervous breakdown. His mother is
said to have died in an insane asyl-
um.
On July 4, Mr. and Mrs. Detmering
and their baby drove to St Paul in
their auto, where the former searched
for work. He secured employment,
but after working two days, the fam
lily decided to return to StreatOr The
trip home took three days Mrs. Det-
mering told the authorities last night
that during the entire journey home
her husband was insane.
Mr.. and Mrs. Detmering were mar
ried in 1918. Mrs. Detmering was be-
fore her marriage, Miss Gertrude
Helm, and is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ira Helm of Streator.
