CHILDREN OF SLAIN WOMAN
LIVE IN PARIS

When Luther F. Violet, of Gin
cinnati, shot and killed his wife
Mrs. Bertha Violet, aged thirty
nine, and shot himself in the left
temple at their home in that city
Tuesday night, tragedy entered
also into the lives of two Paris
children, who are at the home OF
their grandmother, Mrs. L. F.. Vio-
lett, on Sixteenth street, in this
city.
The double tragedy took place at
the Violet home shortly after ten
o'clock Tuesday night. From state
ments made to the police by one of
the children, Dorothy Violet, seven
years old, who was in another room
at the time, it was learned that the
Violettes had been quarreling for
about an hour. Jealousy on the
part of Violet was alleged to have
been the cause of the shooting.
When police reached the residence
in response to a telephone message
they found the doors all locked.
Forcing an entrance they found the
body of Mrs. Violet on the floor,
while short distance away lay Vio-
lett, with an automatic revolver by
his side.
The ViOletts are the parents of
four children, Dorothy and Barton,
aged seven and five, who were at the
family home, and Norman and Luz
Their, aged nine and ten respective
ly, who have been making their
home with their grandmother, in
this city.
Violet was a travelling salesman
and, according to his neighbors, had
become very jealous of his wife.
The neighbors told the police that
Violet had no real cause for jeaI-
ousy.
Violet has been in bad health
for more than year, and was
thought to have been suffering from
some delusion regarding the conduct
of his wife, as a result of the condi-
ton of his mind. Neighbors of the
Violet family stated that Violet
had acted very strangely at times,
and had told them on various occa-
siOns that he believed he had con-
sumption, and that he would rather
kill himself than have to linger
with such a disease
Mrs. Katherin Scheonlaub, joint
resident of the house in which Vio-
lett lived, stated that the nighbors
became so alarmed owed Violett's at
titude that she sent for his mother,
who was then in Paris. Mrs. Vio-
lett went to Cincinnati, but return
ed to Paris in a short time, appar-
emily convinced that her son was all
right again. Two weeks ago Mrs.
Violet became panic-stricken at
something her husband had said,
and came to Paris, where she re-
manned until regaining her compos-
ure, when she returned to Cincin-
natl.
The funeral of Mr.. and Mrs. Vio-
lett, victims of the double tragedy,
will be held at the grave in the
Frankfort Cemetery this afternoon
at AIS o'clock, with services con-

of the Paris Baptist church.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May a.
Republican leaders are beginning to re-
alize that dissatisfaction among non
white voters in c. O. p. ranks is hav-
ing a telling effect.
This was especially true in the re-
cent balloting in Indiana and Penn
sylvania. The successes of Pinchot
and Beveridge are being accredited
in large measure to the dissatisfied Vot-
ing clement, according to the follow
ing special dispatch from Washington
TO the New York World, which ap-
pcared May goth:
WASHINGTON, May l9,-It be-
came known here today that the Negro
voters in Pennsylvania and Indiana
played d very important part in the
recent primaries, and that their inhu-
ence and votes were used largely for
Pinchot and Beveridge and against
Alter and New.
The World was informed by the
local leader of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People, that other leading Admlnstra-
ton Congressman are slated for
slaughter by Negro voters because OF
their opposition to or indifference
toward the ant-lynching and other up
lift legislation pending in Congress.

To LYNCH
MURDERER


A mob of angry men gathered at
the inquest over the body of Miss
Annie Williams Monday morning at
Green's morgue, 1882 State street and
threatened to lynch Virgil Murphy,
3131 Federal street who had brutally
murdered the woman.
Police Flee With Man
Realizing the menace of the mob,
police from the Wabash station hur-
ried Murphy away through the back
door to the Wabash avenue station.
The inquest was continued to May 81.
The murder was especially brutal, as
Murphy, who was a rejected suitor..
shot the woman twice in the back, re-
sulting in her death.
Miss Williams, who lived at 1903
Federal street, met Murphy Saturday
morning at the corner of 39th and
State street. He was violently in love
with her, but had been rejected as a
suitor several times.
Monday morning he began to press
his suit again.
Shoots Her in Back
As she tried to walk away from
him, Murphy drew a .38 calibre re-
volver and fired. The bullet struck
her in the left arm. AS she fed away,
he fired twice again, both bullets
striking her in the back. She was
removed to the Provident hospital,
where she died shortly after.
Murphy escaped Immediately after
the shooting, but was later captured
by the motor squad under Sergt.
Brown, of the 3rd Precinct.
