.
Parsons for
some time had been
deeply affected by the. Ieass of a child
0 years of age. and gave expression
to the belief that Ise had nothing to
live for; there was no pleasure for
him .now. For the past two weeks
Parsons had acted rather strangely,
but no one thought he contemplated
any such action.
Parsons went upstairs to his child-
ren's bedroom and said: "Ida, the
Lord has told me to kill you child-
ren."
The child Ida jumped out of bed
and said: "No, father, the Lord nev-
er told you that, for He would have
tom me too, d v killed m
0 a ,an youha have y
mother."
He. answering, said: "Oh my, I
did." and going downstairs again he
suicided. The room presented a dis-
tressing picture. Mrs. Parsons was
lying partly under the bed in her
night clothes, with her throat gash-
ed, and her head in a pool o1 blood.
Her husband was beside her, face
down, saturated with his own blood.
The bed presented a suggestion of a.
slight struggle; the sheet in one
place had been grasped with a tight
clutched, but nothing else had been
disturbed. Even if Mrs. Parsons had
made any effort to save herself, she
could not have -lone so, for Parsons
was a powerful man and in the prime
of life. It is evident he was derang-
ed, fora more kind and better man
never lived. Ile ltad not an unkind
grain in his make up. His love for his
family was well and favorably
known. ITis wife was formerly Miss
Elizabeth Cheetham. She was 35
year:, of age.
Mr. Parsons was in good circutn-
stances, and the family lived well.
He was widely known among cattle-
men and in Toronto.
