WIFE LOSING MIND
 BEGS' ID BE SLAIN
(continued from First Pagel

do what is now forced upon me by circumstances but there ts no alter native.
 '.I s,mply cannot stand to sse my wife suffer day after day from the awful dreadful fear which she has endured for the last two months.
 Wiec Begs to Dio
 "Shs bess and pleads to be per mitted to die. asks mo continually to give her something to end it all. and it is surely hell on earth for us both."
 Kirkbride then launched into . philosophical mood as he wrote the death notes.. There was nothing to indicate whether Mrs. Kirkbride wit messed and read tho notes before her husband committed the double mercy murder" but tho contents revealed that the couple no doubt had talked over the deed fully be- fore they entered the pact
 "Life is not worth the struggle, AL" Kirkbride wrote. with some it is different, of course. Tho par cnt with . child to love. cherish. and support, the spouse with duties to maintain, the ones with dependents looking to them for help are differ ent ones.
 "With both of us 1t is different. Absolutely no ono dependent-every ono better of when ws arc beyond the border.
 And then. Al, most of us mortals place an importance upon things far beyond their value. In the end noth- ing matters much. for we slip out nt this life and into another and the day of our death. like the day of our birth. will soon be shrouded with forgetfulness.
 And if 1t be remembered at all it will be with . smile to think that 1t could cause such . pang."
 Pals For II Years
 AS If to mitigate his act further, Kirkbrtde closed his note to hia friend. the coroner:
 For IT years we have been pals (Kirkbride and his wife) through happiness. joy, grief and sorrow and I simply won't go beyond the grave without her and I simply cannot stand to sec her suffer longer as l have experienced these cases am convinced she is subject to a long. long lingering illness, very similar to that she had in 1s1s." As Kirkbride neared the end of the note 1t became involved. One thought followed another without re- gard to sentence structure. which had been carefully thought out in the first notes.
 Apparently. the note to How was the last he penned before he took his revolver and put his wife beyond fear of insanity.
