ESTABLISHED 1878 | WOMAN KILLS TWO CHILDREN AND HERSELF Husband, Returning From Week’s Absence, Finds Blood-stained Diary WAS BITTEN BY SNAKE Facing Horrible Death Herself, Mother Feared Children Would Starve Casa Grande, Arizona, May 6.—() ced by the prospect of a slow and horrible death for herself and star- vation for her two small daughters, aged 4 months and 3 years, Mrs. A. J. Cox shot and killed her offspring and then ended her own life with a rifle on a lonely ranch 23 miles from here Tuesday. The tragedy was discovered by Cox when he returned to his desert home- stead Wednesday after an absence of more than a week. A bloodstained diary told of the tragedy that had its inception Sunday, when Mrs, Cox was bitten on the foot by a rattle- snake. Failing to get relief from the pain by home remedies, the woman slit the wound with a pen knife, the dairy said. In doing so she severed an artery and suffered the loss of a large amount of blood. She was too weakened to crank the automobile and go for aid to the near- est neighbors, seven miles away, the scrawled diary sai She fired many rifleshots in a fu’ attempt to at- tract attention. Knowing, the diary declared, that she would be dead and “her children starved to death before “soul, most.” Cox would return, she fired a bullet into the heart of each of her children and then turned the rifle on herself.
