’GOTHAM TRAGEDY Murder and Suicide Attend Love Misbestowed. Now York. Sept. 3. —Henry Townsend Edson sen of Franklin Edson, formerly mayor of New York city, in his apartments at 292 West 92d street shot and instantly killed Mrs. Fannie Pullen of 673 West End avenue, and then shot and killed himself.

Mrs. Pullen was ■ a pretty woman and is said to have | been the daughter of a United States naval officer. The tragedy brought out the fact that Edson, who was comptroller of St. Michaels Protestant Episcopal church, had been suspected of misappropriating funds belonging to the parish and that expert accountants were at woi k on his accounts. It was also declared by those related to the family that Edson was financially distressed because of Wall street speculations. Members of the Edson family insist that Edson was insane. There are many indications that Edson was madly in love with Mrs. Pullen. EDWARD LOOKING ON England's King Investigating the Bal kan Troubles. Vienna.
