KILLS TWOBABES GOLF TOURNEY FOR AND THEN HERSELF Jamaica Woman Was Desperate 0Ver Husband’s Idleness New York, July 17.—After slaying her two small children by placing them in bed in a room filled with gas, Mrs. Maurice Driggs, 35, committed sulelde by cutting her throat with a razor in her home at 16709 108th avenue, Jamaica, yesterday afternoon. Worry over her husband’s inability to obtain work during a month is thought to have been responsible for the tragedy. Driggs, an accountant, left their little cottage early yesterday morning as he has done for a month in a fu- tile search for work. During the aft- ernoon Mrs. Driggs wrote a note of farewell: After 4 o'clock neighhors saw her call her daughter, Grace, three, who was attending the baby, Marie An- toinette, eight-months-old, in a car- riage in front of the Thouse. Her mind apparently deranged by worry, the mother then put the children to bed in a room adjoining the kitchen and turned on the three jets of the chandelier. Then she placed the note on the kitchen table, drew the razor across her throat and fell near the door, her hands outstretched toward the room in which her children were dying. When Driggs came home about 6 o'¢lock he found the house filled with gas. He was hurrying to the kitchen when he stumbled over his wife's body. He found the children dead in the bedroom. He ran to the street and called for he| Neighbors carried the children to a grass plot outside the house and used artificlal respiration without avail. An ambulance surgeon said Mrs. Driggs and the children had been dead more than an hour Driggs told detectives that debts had been piling up and worry had shat- tered his wife's nerves. She had been despondent for several days, he said. He said there had ben no money and very little food in the house for sev-| eral weeks. AM. CHAIN C0.
