( Pfosperity It THCIII -- ` ` lNelson Smith, Formerly of Barrie,` Shoots his Wife and Then Suicides. ` I 5' At Huntsville on Friday, a double 1 tragedy was enacted, resulting in the. death of Nelson Smith, formerly of Barrie, and his young wife, formerly iMiss l\/Iartha Goldie, who had been for some weeks visiting at the home of her parents just outside the town limits of `Huntsville. . The details of the murder and sui-i cide are as follows: --Mr. Smith, who had-been for some time past an `employee of the Galt, Heipeler & [Berlin Railway, arrived in Huntsville [early on Fridayimorning, and after ibreakfasting at an hotel proceeded to the home of his wife's parents on the, opposite bank of the river from the town. On the way he called at the district schoolhouse and inquired of his little son, who was in attendance, 1 if his mother was at home, and upon receiving an affirmative answer pro-` ceeded. to the house. Upon being ad-V mitted he was `shown into the parlor and received by his wife and the mother-in-law, Mrs. James Goldie,` and he engaged in friendly conver- sation with them for some time, ex- hibiting no signs of anger or excite- Iment. _ 1 ll Mrs. Goldie, then left the room for a few moments, and was horried to hear terried screams and two re- volver shots in quick succession. and Iupon entering the room found the murderer standing over the body of his dead wife, with the revolver still in his hand. She attempted to dis-` garm him. but he rushed past her, and, putting the revolver to his head, `blew his brains out. A Coroner s inquest, under the! direction of Dr. Casselman, town-E ship Coroner, was held over the re- mains of the unhappy pair._ The cause of thetragedy is not denitely known as yet, but it is: believed to have been insane and unreasoning jealousy on the part of `the husband. The mur- dered woman was about 3o years of age, and very popular and highly re-T spected in her native town. . TL- C;...ZcI. A/\qc\`A Iuvfn urn`-H L-nnurn SPCCLCU Ill IICI IIGBIVV. svvvu.
