TRIPLE KILLING IS REVEALED

Girl's Plea to Family Physician Bares Murder and Suicide. Passaic, N. J., Dec. s.—“ls this Rector Carlisle? Well, please come to our house quick; everybody is sick.*’ This telephone message from Mina Strong, fourteen, disclosed the murder of her mother and elder sister and the suicide of her father. Mason R. Strong, architect and structural engineer, with offices in Wall street, New York city, had almost successfully annihilated his family with an ax. But it was not until Mina, herself wounded on the head, gained strength enough to notify the family physician that the tragedy was revealed.
