MAN ENDS OWN | LIFEFOLLOWING KILLING OF SIX CALIFORNIA REAL. ESTATE MAN BECOMES VIOLENT ON HEARING THAT WIFE WAS SEEKING DIVORCE (By Awsociated Press) PLACERVILLE,. Cal. — March 19.—John M. Goins, ‘Stockton Calif., real estate man, killed six persons yesterday and then ended his own life as posses were chasing him over dangerous mountain highways. Hard pressed by posses, Goins sent a bullet into his brain as his automobile plunged over a moun- | tain cliff near El Dorade, a few | miles from here, ending a day of tragedy in the upper San Joaquin Valley. The dead: Mrs. Florence Podesta Goins, |his wife; Mrs. Minnie Podesta | Clark, his wife’s’ sister; Mrs. George McNoble, wife of a former president of the state bar asso- ciation; Alex Marengo, Mrs. Mar- |engo and their married daughter, Mrs. Henry Dutra. Goins began his mania round of killing when he heard that his wife was seeking a divorce. Goins went first to the Podesta shot and killed his ‘wife and her sister, Mrs. Clark. Escaping from the ranch, he returned to Stock- ton and sought the law office of George F. McNoble, husband of Mrs. McNob!e, whom he had heard was advising Mrs. Goins concern- ing a legal separation. McNoble had also represented Goins in a number of suits Goins had brought against the Southern Pacific Rail- road and later agaigst accident in- surance companies as a result of a railway accident in which Goins lost a foot. The actions failed, but McNoble received a settlement of $2,500 from an uncontested in- surance policy. Learning that McNoble was in San Franciseo, the crazed man went to the McNoble home, where he found the attorney’s wife, whom he interrogated regarding Mrs. Goins’ divorcee plans. Mrs. McNoble denied any knowledge of them, whereupon Goins shot her three times, killing her almost in- stantly, as @ne of the children looked on. Goins then drove madly to Galt, about 24 miles north of Stockton, and shot and killed Marengo, his wife and their daughter, Mrs. Dutra. Mrs. Dutra’s two small children, three and four years old, were the only witnesses, but farm hands heard the shots and saw Goins climb into his- automobile again ranch near, Stockton, where he! and drive northward. ger . afd Mrs. Louis Costar were 0 The motive for the Marengo in the arrivals here yes- y afternoon from Miami, and Will spend several days’ visit in Island City. i ‘ inn BR es lin A, Knowles, who is i at Miami by the Fiorida Kes Coast Railway Company, } nt ab verrival = the morning several ys j 8 visit in the Island City. 4 ’ a ‘an Mrs. A.

Kauffman, connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad, who had been spending several days’ business visit in Havana and Key West, was a passenger leaving on the morning train en route north, Miss Louise Johnson, who had been visiting in Key West for sev- feral weeks with relatives and friends, was a passenger leaving on the morning train en route to Miami: where she is now making her residence. i Captain Luther Pinder, pilot on killing, aside from Goins’ possible insanity, was that some years ago Marengo figured as a prosecuting witness in a charge of Horse steal- ing against Goins. From Galt, Goins started at a mad pace toward Placer county. where he owned property. It is supposed he intended to go into hiding there. Meanwhile officers of four counties were on his trail, and highways in all directions were guarded.
