‘HAD IAGREEID'TO DIE TOGETHER.
' Husband Killed His Wife and Two 01m-
Wdlen Then Shot Himself.
New York, Jan. 18. ——_A terrible trag-
edy, the ruthless muxder of a woman
and her two children and the suicide
of the perpetrator of the deed, the bus-
band and father, 11 as brought to light
yesterday morning in a—pecular and
accidental manner, John Matthews,
thirty- five years of age, liter ally hacked
his wife and two children to death with
a hatchet while they slept, and after-
Ward committed suicide by shooting
hinfself in the head. The tragedy was
committed at 426 Columbus avenue,
Manhattan in a. little bedroom in. the
rear of a small grocery store kept by
Matthews.
The tragedy is supposed to have been
enacted some time Saturday night.
Yesterday morning about 9 o’clock a.
milkman, calling at the store to supply
Matthews with milk, found the door
locked securely and smelled gas at the
door. He told a policeman“; who broke
in the door. In the bedrOOm on the
floor lay a man with a bullet hole just
above his mouth. ‘ In his hand was
grasped a revolver. On the bed was
a woman with her head almost hacked
to pieces and on the other side of the
room were two.children lying on a bed
with their heads horribly cut. On the
counterpnne was a. hatchet.
Two letters found seem to show that
there was an agreement between Mat-
thews and his wife to commit suicide.
All the details as to burial and dispo-
sition of effects were caiefully ar-
ranged, and the many relatives and
rties were addressed.
Mrs. Matthews was a pretty and indus-
t1 xous woman, an..
liked by her neighbors, and the chil-
dren were said to be very handsome.
