A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Two CMldrsn Murdered "by Their Father.

United Press Association—By Elea**io Telegraph Wellington, October 15 The township of Petone wu the scene of a horrible domestic tragedy last night. A man named Arthur Wolff, a carpenter by trade, aged thirty-two, murdered hie tiro children and then attempted to take his own life. Wolff had been effecting some repairs at the &asonio Hall daring the afternoon, and had taken two of his children with him, Hector, a boy, aged five, and a girl, Linda, »ged three and a half. Mrs Wolff made a trip to Wellington with an infant child. A fourth child, a boy about six years of age, •pent the afternoon at a neighbor's, house. When he finished bin work about six o'clock, Wolff took Hector and Linda home.' Details of the fearful tragedy whioh was enacted after they reached home must, to a certain extent, be left to the imagination, for Wolff himself has so far said nothing beyond admitting having done the deed. --Wolff was teen by a neighbor to enter the house with the ohildrin, and nothing further wet heard or seen of them until Mrs Wolff arrived home by the 7.30 train. Ttoe poor woman received an awful shook when she entered the bedroom. On the floor, m pools of t>leod, were lying tho bodies ot the two children and her husband. All were then ■11*4 bat the girl died m less than an hour. The father and the boy were immediately taken, to the Wellington Hospital, where the Utter died during the night. It did not require muoh investigation to •how what had happened. Both children were shot through the head, and the father had a fearful gash m the throat, and a wound on the temple. From th« position of the bodies it was evident that the father had made the two little mites stand up alongside •aoh other, while he fired »fc them with a revolver from a bed three or four feet away. He then fired four shots at himself, but none of them took effect, although one gitzid hii temple. Having thua emptied the revolver, Wolff threw it on the bed, and took up his oaie of razors, using one of them on his throat He fell alongside the bed, close to the bodies ef his children. The bedroom, whioh is rather small m i?ss<s, presented a horrible sight this morning, the floor being smeared ia blood. Tit, cottage, whioh is situated m Queen Street, was well furnished, the room a having a new and comfortable appearance. (The motive for the deed is supplisd by two theoriel. Wolff had bean drinking lately, and, m addition, he was ia financial d fficul 6iee, Which had caused him a good deal of moots! worry. He had had several drinks during the afternoon, but it is not clear what, effect they bad had on him, for one man who •poke to him when he was going home, abates that he was sober, while a neighbour says that he was staggering when he went up the p»tn. Wolff, who is said to be very well connected at Home, h»d written lor money, but recently received an unfavourable reply, and this is believed to have particularly weighed on his mind. He is very well spoken of m the township, where he had the reputation of being a good and kind Htoband and father, »nd he %ppeared to be especially fond of his wife and children, and the naigh. hours state that the household lived very happily together. When he regained ooaeoiouinlia this mom ning, Wolff chatted freely about the affair, skying " he wm »ll right whin he did It, &nd h« was all right now, but he thought) that his wife would get on better without him and the children." Although somewhat atrange m bis demeanour, he shows oopaider able signs of improvement this afternoon, and the hoaplbal staff state he will m all probe* bility recover, but ib will be some time before he will be able to appear on the oharge of wilful murder. Wolff waa for some time steward of the {Temperance Olub at Petone, and had also been m the employ of Messrs Johnaton and Go., Wellington, as storeman. Coming *° aooa **fe*r th* Jones murder (for which Bosher suffered the extreme penalty of the law), the affair orsated a tremendous sensation m Petone, and crowda ci people flocked to the vicinity of the home during the evening. * • October 16. An icfluwfe touching the death of the two children was opened at Petone, at 4 p.m. Very few new facts were elicited m the evidence. Several witnesses deposed to Wolf having been drinking a little during the last few deya, but generally apaaking he waa a sober man. When he arrived at the hospital, however, he smelt strongly of aloohoK He waa m very good spirits on Saturday afternoon. IJohe of the witnesses had known him ■how signs of mental aberration, but he had complained of pains m the head during the last six weeks. Beveral bills containing pressing demands for money were found m the house; Mrs Wolff attributed the whole affair to financial worry. They sever had a wrong word, and he waa very kind to the children. £40 would have covered all his indebtedness, bet It seemed a lot to him, and welded him terribly; Borne yeara ago he had a slight sunstroke, and complained about it m the hotweatheri During the last fortnight he had oemplained every day! „„,,„. (The constable who look oharge of Wolff m the hospital said that Wolff told him he fired four ahote at himself. »nd oould get no more ballets, or he would have killed himself. Nor could he get the razor he wanted. He geemed to be m his right) eenaes and con varied all right He seemed to remember everything that happened. He said he knew What he was doing when he did it, and added that he "would rather die straight away. I will only be banged." A verdict wae returned thai the children died from piatol ahota inflicted by their Weiffwas charged at the Oourb today With murder, and remanded to the 23rd.

' < TT I X A 1> A T I O. THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRIUT TRIUMPH OVER " HYDATIDS." A grateful P.iticat give* unsolicited and valuable testimony to tho ifflcacy of this great Herbal ISemedy, Read carefully and inves'igate for ; yourself. 29 Paokingßton ft., St. Kilda. ! Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke st. Sir,—As I consider We»bers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vitadatio," has been the sole means of saving my iife I think the least I c%n do is to hand you this testimonial, so that others suffering the same *8 myself may know ■hat there is a certain reliable cure for them m " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of my case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under the treatment of doctors inFitaroy and St. Kilda, as well as some of the best m Collins street. Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure mo. You o*n easily imagine that I had little hops of ever being cured. Bub one day I notioad an Advertised cure by "Webber's Vitadabio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result that, | after taking only two large bottles, I felt much better, and continued the medicine. i By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I oontinned to vomib these "Hyd»tid»" for 1 some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weuk, but I continued with the " Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I em honestly Btate X have never felt better m the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio " a miracle-worker. I am well-known m Fit^roy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them m.y own experienoe of the worth of «' Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perffot liberty to make what uio yon like of this testimonial. I may add I am now able to do all my own household work 3 a thing I have been utaable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully,
