KILLS WOMAN -- HANGS SELF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT HOME OF FARMINGDALE CARPENTER.
FREDERICK BUCKHOLT MURDERS MRS. ELIZABETH RUST, WOUNDS 
HER SON AND TAKES OWN LIFE.

Farmingdale, LI - At his home here, late last night, Frederick 
BUCKHOLT, a prosperous carpenter, shot and instantly killed Mrs. 
Elizabeth RUST, an employee of Selyo's Hotel, in this place; shot 
twice at the woman's two children, Willie and Gertrude RUST, slightly 
wounding the boy, and then ran up to the attic, where he hung himself.
When the screams of the frightened children and Mrs. BUCKHOLT has 
summoned neighbors the latter found Mrs. RUST dead on the floor with the 
children crying over the body, but there was no trace of BUCKHOLT.  The house 
was searched, and his body was found dangling from a beam in the garret.
What prompted the murder is not known, but it is positively declared today 
that there was no quarrel over the board of the two children, as has been 
reported.
The children were placed in the care of BUCKHOLT some time ago by their 
father, John RUST, of Hoboken NJ, who had separated from his wife.  RUST and BUCKHOLT 
were then close friends, but some time ago had a quarrel.  It was said today that 
the trouble was due to Mrs. RUST, after she had discovered where her children had been 
placed, going to BUCKHOLT'S home and remaining there some time.  Later she secured 
the place in the hotel.
There was no witness to the tragedy of last evening except Mrs. BUCKHOLT and 
the two children, and they cannot tell what really prompted it.
The boy has a slight wound on the cheek, made by a bullet fired at him by the 
murderer of his mother.  The shot sent at the little girl hit a button on her gown and 
was deflected.  She was uninjured, but terribly frightened.
Three shots were fired at Mrs. RUST, and all took effect - one lodging in her 
breast, a second in her neck and the third in her back.
Acting Coroner Justice Charles P. BUDILL has the case in charge, and will 
hold an inquest next week.  He has in the meantime given a permit for the burial of 
the bodies of BUCKHOLT and Mrs. RUST, but the funeral arrangements had not been 
completed this afternoon.BUCKHOLT was about 40 years old; his victim was 
several years younger.

DOUBLE FUNERAL AT FARMINGDALE AFTER MURDER AND SUICIDE
BUCKHOLZ NOW DECLARED TO HAVE SHOT MRS. RUST BECAUSE SHE 
DID NOT LOVE HIM.
Farmingdale, LI - Funeral services were yesterday held over 
the remains of Frederick BUCKHOLZ, who on Thursday shot and 
killed Mrs. Elizabeth RUST at his home here, fired two shots 
at her children and then took his own life.  He was buried in a 
village cemetery, the funeral being in charge of the local lodge 
of Odd Fellows, of which the dead man was a member.  The usual 
services of the order were conducted at the grave.
At 2 P.M. funeral services were conducted over the remains of Mrs. 
RUST, the Rev. Mr. MERRICK of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church 
officiating, and the interment was made in Farmingdale Cemetery.  
The funeral of Mrs. RUST was attended by her divorced husband, 
John RUST, a contractor, of Hoboken, NJ and the two children; 
Wille, 14, and Carrie, 12 years old, and by many of the villagers.
It is now declared that the cause of the tragedy was not a demand 
by BUCKHOLZ upon Mrs. RUST for more money for the board of the 
children.  The fact is that the father, John RUST, placed the 
children in the BUCKHOLZ home, and not only paid a liberal sum for 
their care, but furnished a pony and wagon for their use, giving 
BUCKHOLZ the privilege of using the rig when he desired.
It is now said by those who claim to know, that as a result of the 
mother's frequent visits to BUCKHOLZ's home to see her children, he 
became infatuated with her.  She did not reciprocate his fondness for 
her, it is said, and he became insanely jealous.
BUCKHOLZ, it is said, learned Mrs. RUST was one of a party of two women 
and two men wh owent out for a sleigh ride a night or so before the 
tragedy.  He became furiously jealous, and upon Mrs. RUST's appearance 
with a cake to celebrate the birthday of her little daughter, he 
commenced to upbraid Mrs. RUST, who threatened him with arrest unless he 
stopped, whereupon BUCKHOLZ got his revolver and shot Mrs. RUST three times 
in all, and then fired a shot at each of the two children, the bullet grazing 
the boy's neck, and that fired at the little girl as she ran from the room, 
striking a button on her dress, thus deflecting the bullet.

MRS. HARRINGTON BURNED TO DEATH AT HER HOME
  Her clothing catching fire from a kerosene lamp she had been carrying Mrs. 
Margaret HARRINGTON, 65 years old, was burned to death last night at her 
home, 1124 Thirty-ninth street. Her landlord John DOERHOEFER, and George 
SCHMIDT, a visitor, were injured, though not seriously, in trying to 
extinguish the flames.
  Mrs. HARRINGTON'S death was the fourth in the family in the past eight 
months. She was the mother of Dan HARRINGTON, the ventriloquist.

TWO END THEIR LIVES BY INHALING GAS
  Leaving behind no explanation of his deed John R. LLOYD, an accountant, 51 
years old, during his wife's absence at church yesterday, inserted a rubber 
tube in his mouth, and then laid down on a lounge in the front room of his 
home, 198 DeKalb avenue, to inhale the gas from a wall bracket. He was dead 
when Dr. ALLEN of Clermont avenue, and Dr. LINDAGE, of Clinton and DeKalb 
avenues, arrived in response to summonses sent by Mrs. LLOYD on her return 
from church. Mrs. LLOYD said she was unable to understand why her husband 
should take his life. He had not experienced any family or financial 
troubles. The case was referred to the coroner. 
  Jacob RAZENIKOLL, 56 years old, killed himself at his home, 38 Johnson 
avenue, yesterday, by inhaling gas through a rubber tube. As a precaution Dr. 
PARKS was summoned from the Eastern district Hospital, but his services were 
nor required. The police were unable to ascertain the cause of the suicide.

Members of the family of 18 year old Fredrick KOOP, of 310 Linden street, 
claim that his death from pneumonia on Feb. 12 last was the result of his 
being carried away from home on the night of Feb. 10, to ensure his 
attendance at the annual inspection of the Forty-seventh Regiment, of which 
he had been a member less than six months. His presence at the armory was 
desired, it is alleged, to maintain the attendance of record of Company G, to 
which he was attached as a private.
  Young KOOP was placed in a closed automobile and driven rapidly to the 
armory, a couple of miles distant. The exposure to the patient caused by the 
trip back and forth was the indirect cause of his death, it is declared. KOOP 
was under the care of Dr. Charles TROST, of 189 Stanhope street , and the 
doctor's orders were, according to the KOPP family, that the boy be kept in 
bed at home. Mrs. KOPP, the boy's mother, says a doctor's certificate showing 
that the patient was too ill to be removed from the house was shown to a 
private of the forty-seventh who called to summon him to the inspection. That 
was 9 o'clock in the evening. Two and one half hours later, according to Mrs. 
KOPP, a sergeant, accompanied by two privates, appeared at the KOPP 
residence, and upon being admitted, pushed the woman aside and demanded to 
see her son. Proceeding to the boy's room the three militiamen demanded that 
he prepare to enter the automobile with them and proceed direct to the 
armory. An hour later young KOPP was returned to his home in the auto, and 
two days later he died.
  The story of the family is to a large extent denied by the officers of the 
regiment. Capt. J. De Witt KLEMYER,of Company G. said no force had been used 
in bringing KOPP to the armory. He sent out Sergeant H.J.MACK, of his 
company, with Col. Henry C. BARTHMAN'S closed automobile, for the young man. 
MACK took along two assistants.
After the three had left the armory the certificate from Dr. TROST arrived.
  On the return of the party, after the inspection was over, the captain saw 
immediately that the boy was sick, he said, and demanded an explanation of 
why the soldiers had brought him out in the bitter night. The sergeant 
declared, he said, that while Mrs.KOPP had not wanted the boy to go, the boy 
had wished to accompany him to the inspection.
He had not been taken, but had gone along willingly, fully dressed, and had 
no complaint to make according to Capt. KLEMYER.
  The captain says that he immediately turned the boy over to the Assistant 
surgeon G.E. DAVIS, of 484a McDonough street, and asked him if he should have 
KOPP taken home by the hospital corps. Dr. DAVIS examined the boy, declared 
Capt. KLEMYER, and said he appeared well enough to go home in the closed 
automobile, as he ha come. The sergeant's statements were all made before the 
boy, who made no denial of them, the officer says, but admitted that he had 
come voluntarily in spite of the warning of his doctor and the opposition of 
his mother.
  Dr. DAVIS corroborated the assertions of Capt. KLEMYER. First Lieut. Edgar 
R. RODD went with three privates as the representatives of the company to 
attend the boys funeral, which was held on Feb. 16. They also accompanied the 
body to the grave in Evergreens Cemetery. Capt. KLEMYER was attending the 
National Guard Convention at Albany when word of the boy's death reached his 
comrades. Word came even too late to get together a firing squad of eight men 
to take to the cemetery as usual.

3 March 1909
MRS. BISHOP STUMBLES IN GAS FILLED ROOM AND LAMP SHE CARRIED IS SMASHED, 
BURNING HER TO DEATH-BOARDER SHE SOUGHT TO RESCUE ALREADY ASPHYXIATED
   Mrs. Ada C. BISHOP, 71 years old, and George H. VARNEY, both of whom 
occupied rooms on the top floor of the three story frame house at 66 North 
Oxford street, were found dead early today by Mrs. Annie RUBY, owner of the 
house, who with her four children lives on the first and second floors. The 
man was a victim of gas poisoning and the elderly woman met death as she was 
vainly attempting to rescue the dying man. She was burned to a crisp when, 
falling to the floor, the lighted lamp she carried in her hand set fire to 
her nightgown.
   A strange feature about the affair is that the burning oil from the lamp 
apparently did not spread about the floor and the flames which enveloped the 
woman did not set fire to any of the furnishings of the room or cause an 
explosion in spite of the fact that the room was full of gas which had 
escaped from an open jet.
   Mrs. RUBY is in the habit of getting up at 5 o'clock every morning and 
awakening Mrs. BISHOP, who, in spite of her years, left the house at 6 
o'clock so she could reach a shirt waist factory in East New York, where she 
worked on time. Mrs. RUBY went to Mrs. BISHOP'S room and called to her to 
arise. Getting no response she opened the door and to her surprise saw the 
room was vacant. At the same time she detected a faint odor of gas and seized 
with a premonition that something was wrong, made a hurried inspection of the 
three remaining rooms.
   As she opened the door leading to the one occupied by VARNEY she stumbled 
over the body of Mrs. BISHOP which was half lying, half reclining in a corner 
of the room. Mrs. RUBY was almost overcome by the fumes of gas, but she made 
her way to the window and threw it open.
   DEAD SEVERAL HOURS
   The faint morning light disclosed VARNEY'S body lying on the bed and the 
body of the aged woman in a corner. Near her was the broken lamp. Mrs.RUBY 
summoned the police from the Flushing avenue station and Ambulance Surgeon 
WALSH of the Cumberland Street Hospital was called, but he could do nothing. 
He said VARNEY had been dead for several hours from gas poisoning. Mrs. 
BISHOP had been dead about two hours. 
   VARNEY had been out of employment for several weeks. His case was a 
pathetic one, as he suffered from epilepsy and found ti difficult to keep a 
position once he obtained work, consequently he was idle most of the time. It 
is believed that while turning out the gas last night he was seized with a 
fit and before he had recovered was asphyxiated.
   Mrs. BISHOP, whose age and bent body did not prevent her from working 
steadily day by day, took a motherly interest in the unfortunate man and 
whenever he was seized with the attacks at the house she was the one who 
watched over him.
   The police believe that early this morning Mrs. BISHOP was awakened by the 
odor of gas and investigated carrying the lighted lamp with her. When she saw 
the body of VARNEY lying on the bed, thinking she could drag him from the 
room, in her efforts she probably stumbled over a torn rug near the bed and 
dropped the lamp. The lamp broke and her night dress was soon in flames. Her 
arms and limbs were burned to a crisp.
   VARNEY'S body was removed to the morgue after Coroner BREWER viewed the 
remains. Mrs. BISHOP body was claimed by her brother, who is familiarly known as 
" Berry the Bean Man " on account of the large business he does with 
Delicatessen men. VARNEY has a brother, a retired naval naval officer, who 
lives at 212 North Carey street, Baltimore, Md.
   VARNEY had been employed as a tinsmith in the Navy Yard and had a good 
record. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, the Masonic order, the Knights 
Templar, the Masonic Historical Society of Manhattan and the Royal Arch 
Masons.   Mrs. BISHOP'S brother sent word that he would have an undertaker remove 
the body to his home, and in the meantime the remains are being guarded by 
Policeman Samuel RABAU, of the Flushing avenue station.

BOY BURNED TO DEATH
   Three year old Raymond MITCHELL, of 1676 Seventy-third street, while 
playing in the kitchen today stumbled and fell across the stove. The boys 
clothes caught fire, and he ran screaming to the street, where some passing 
workmen grabbed him and smothered the flames, but not before he had sustained 
burns which later proved fatal. Ambulance Surgeon HUNTER, of the Norwegian 
Hospital, hurried the little fellow to that institution, where in spite of 
the efforts of the house staff to save his life, he died. Thomas MITCHELL, is 
a policeman attached to the Brooklyn Bridge Squad.

TEN KILLED IN MANHATTAN
   In a fire early today, the work of an incendiary, in the five story double 
tenement at 374 Seventh avenue, Manhattan, ten persons were killed, half a 
dozen seriously injured, and a number of fireman and policeman burned.
   But for the heroic work of fireman and policemen the death list might have 
reached fifty. The loss will exceed $6000. The dead are

Unidentified man and woman.
   The fire started in the basement and spread up the airshaft, which had 
been oil soaked. On the ground floor of the building is McDONALD'S 
undertaking establishment, while in the apartments overhead, lived thirty 
familles. Patrick MINKS, caretaker in the undertaker's was awakened by the 
crackle of burning wood and gave the alarm. He then started through the 
building to arouse the sleeping families, only to be driven back by the fire 
and smoke.
   So rapidly did the flames sweep through the building that his escape was 
cut off and he had to take to the windows and make his way across a cornice 
to an adjoining building. In the meantime someone had turned in an alarm of 
fire and notified the police station just around the corner.
   The relief platoon was lined up in the station, and under the command of 
Lieut. DAY was raced to the scene and started getting the frightened tenants out.
   Every window in the building was filled with frightened men, woman and 
children before the rescue could be started, and fireman used their scaling 
ladders to good advantage in bringing the inmates down.
   While the firemen were working at the front the police were attacking the 
rear. Hear the fire escapes were found to be useless so high were they piled 
with rubbish. Policemen RILEY, GALLAGHER and GENTRY went through the 
adjoining house to the third floor and while GALLAGHER was supported by the 
others he swung himself across by the shutters and into the window, passing 
out a man and two children he found unconscious.
   Truck No. 24 swung an extension ladder to the fifth floor, and before it 
could be placed in position Firemen CLARK and McCARTHY ran up and jumped 
across through the flames, and almost immediately reappeared carrying two 
unconscious woman who were passed to the street, where ambulances from three 
hospitals were waiting.
   McCARTHY then rescued two children. As he was passing down the ladder a 
man appeared at the third story window with a baby. " Here, take this one 
too, " he shouted, and tossed the child to the fireman, who caught it and

MURDERED ITALIAN IS FRANCISCO ABATE
The body of the murdered Italian found yesterday morning near Bayside 
Cemetery, Ozone Park, was identified last night as that of Francisco ABATE, 
21 years old, of 140 Sackman street. The identification was made by Vincenzo 
GARDINO, an uncle of the dead man. A label on the victim's hat was the means 
of establishing the Italian's identity.
Lieut. VACHRIS made a search of ABATE'S apartments. He found a number of 
letters in which demands for money were made. The detectives learned that 
ABATE had been in the country for two years and had not worked during the 
last eight months.
He had always dressed well, however, and seemed to be well supplied with money.
It is believed that ABATE wrote the letters demanding money and that he 
was lured to Ozone Park by some of the men whom he had threatened.
Lieut. VACHRIS thinks he knows one of the men who was implicated in the 
murder, but he has no definite proof as yet. He expects to make an arrest in 
a few days.
