The family of Mrs. Hague claimed that it came of Mi Donegan's ineane fealousy of her Partner, who was about to be mar- ried a second time. Relatives of Miss Donegan stated that it was the result of @ money quarrel. The police they have no doubt that Miss Done- wan killed Mrs. Hague and then, as the latter staggered and was about to fall, put an arm about her and stot herself, both women elipping to the floor together. Mrs. Hague's brother sald to-day at thelr home, No, 149 Dwight Street, Brooklyn, that his sister had lately been in fear of her life, and that on Christmas night she had said to him, after q visit from Mias Donegan, that the latter had told ‘her “I'll get you *| Monday.” “When my sister was first mar- ried,” Mr, Halle, the brother, said.

My sis- ter was afraid of her, At Miss Donegan’s home, No. 72 Dikeman Street, several of her rela- tives said that the quarrel between the women could only have been caused by fmancial matters, They said that they could not understand why, if Miss Donegan had made so many threats against the life of Mrs. Hague, the police had not been noti- fied. Also, they said that when M.se Donegan heard that Mrs. Hague was to be married again, she exclaimed, “ft wish Edna had told me that be- fore I put all my money in the beauty parlor." She had gone into business with Mrs. Hague, they add- ed, out of sympathy for her, to help her out because she was a widow. 18-YEAR SENTENCE FOR THIS ROBBER George Curry, Alias Spiride, Had Been Convicted for Two Other Crimes.
