Henry F. Edson, Killa Mrs^Pullen in
Presence of His Wife and Then
Turns Weapon Upon Himself—Son
..of Former Mayor Franklin Edson.
New York, Sept. 2.—iHenry F. Ed
son, 30 years old, shot and killed Mrs.
Fymny Pullen, 33 years of age, today
and then shot and killed himself. The
double tragedy occurred at Edson's
residence.
Tho murderer and suicide was Hen
ry Townsend Edson, aged 39 years,
a son of Former Mayor Franklin Ed
son, and a brother of Dr. Cyrus Ed
son. Edson Is said to have been In
sanely jealous of the woman and want
ed her to go away with him.
The shooting occurred In tho pres
ence of Dr. David O. Edson, tho sui
cide's brother, his wife, Mrs. Henry
T. Edson and s baggage mover named
Thomas Wood. The Ed sons have liv
ed’together for a number of months.
Today Henry T. Bison was to vacate
and leave the city for a short time.
According to tha police and Woods,
Edson had begged Jlrs. Pullen to elope
with him.
Dr. Edson told his brother that he
should bo ashamed of himself to make
such a proposal In the presence of
his wife. Townsend Edson became
wildly excited and kept entreating Sirs.
Pullen to go to anther state with him.
When Woods entered the house he
says he saw Townsend point bis re
volver toward Mrs. Pullen and heard
him say to her:
'You must go with me. if you
don't elope with mo I'll see that you
go with me anyway.'* •
Then Townsend fired two shots in
quick succession. The first struck
Mrs. Pullsn In tha right side of the
forehead and the second bullet plough
ed through the left check, tearing the
flash. Mrs. Pullon then ran a few
steps when she fell. Edson then
turned the revolver on himself, firing
two shots. The first shot went through
bis head, the second entered the left
breast near the heart. He dropped
to the floor, his hesd railing across the
woman's feet. Both died almost in
stantly.

Constantinople. Sept 1.—Official re-

killed or wousded during the fighting
which occurred last week in the vila
yet of Monastir.
The ports has sent a memorandum
to the Austrian and Russian ambassa,
dors here pointing out that at the re

celling attention to ths tact that ram*
mttteos In Bulgaria were supplying
the insurgonts with arms and ammuni
tion by means of ships which land
their cargoes on the coast In the vi
cinity of Iniada.
Consular dispatches from Prishtina,
near the Servla frontier, confirms the
reports that nearly all the Christian
villages In tho districts of Dibra, G
miles from Monastir, and Glcevo/have
been pillaged and burned and that
the Inhabitants have fled. It Is not

ans were the perpetrators of the out
rages.
In spite of the gravity of the gen\
oral situation, optimism prevails In
Turkish circles. In the course of the
audiences which the Oerman ambas
sador, Baron Hlrschal Von Bleher-
stein, and ths Russian ambassador, M.
Zinevleff, have had with the sultan,
for the purpose of recommending more
energetic action and entrusting to the
Turkish commander In chief full di

aultan replied that he preferred to re
