After pleading in vain with his <* if - to

formerly employed by B. R. Thomas.
■'Mike" Dwyer and other turfmen, drew a
revolver from hi« hip pocket and shot
her through the head, killing her Instantly.
H* then turned the weapon upon himself
anr| fired a bullet into hi? mouth, inflicting
a morta! wound.
The double «hootinsr was enacted at list
street and Eie.ve.rith avenue, at * 38 o'clock
last night. as the Weebawkew ferry was
discharging Its passengers on the New
York c to of' the river, and the report of
the two shot? caused a panic amonc th
crowd, which almost stumbled over the
bodies of Harbin and his wife a? they lay
in the street.
Foe" Harbin la paid to have been a suc
cessful Jockey several years ago. having
ridden at Bheepshead Bay. Brighton and
ether local racetrack?, but had quit the
turf about four years' aero, when he mar
ried Lauretta Benz. Harbin had been
courting th- young girl for some year?, but
she had always Insisted that he leave the
racetrack before she would become his
wife, and he finally agreed to her wishes.
The young couple lived happily for th?
first few months, but then troubles came
plentifully and quickly. The bride soon
learned that her husband was Buffering
from tuberculosis, and thereafter refused
to live, with him. though she continued to
send him money regularly, it Is said.
Harbin began to drift, spending a great
part of his life in hospitals and sana
torium?, and at other times. trying to earn
his Hying as a truckman, but it was hard
work. The thought that he had descended
from riding famous race horses before,
cheering thousands to driving a plodding
team of truck horses along the river front
seemed to weigh heavily upon Harbin's.
mind He grew morose and disheartened,
and when his wife still refused to live with
him he became desperate.
John W Harbin, of No 53S West 4"d
street, the father of the ex-joi key, offered
his son a home with the family. and the
youn? man availed himself of the oppor
tunity only for a short while. Hi? wife had
secured employment in 'he Weehawken

at the foot of West 42d street every m"rn

woman was In the habit of meeting her
cousin, Thomas Weir, jr . at the New York
E ide on h«r return home She had adopted
this precaution because of threats which
had been mad* irainft her life by her hus
band
STesterday nobody cam* to meet the
girl, and her husband followed her as she
crossed the pier and started down Eleventh
avenue As she reached 4?d street and
Eleventh avenue Harbin stepped up to
her and pleaded with her to live with him
once more. People in the crowd saw the
young couple talking in an excited manner
and then saw the husband draw away and
pull a revolver
The Jockey's wife threw up her hands,
as though to ward off a blow, while she,
b'gged her husband not to kill her. Harbin
paid no heed to her entreaties, but fired a.
shot into her right tempi* The young
woman fell to the street and rolled hair
into the gutter.
The pound of the shot had attracted the
attention of Captain L<ah»j of the West
J7th street police station, who ran in war
Din's direction. The murderer glanced
around after firing a fatal Shot at his wife
and saw the captain approaching: Taking:
a last lock at hi? dead wife, Harbin place*:
the muzzle of f he weapon in his mouth and
pulled the trigger The bullet lodged in the
back of his. head and he fell to the street,
mortally wounded.
Captain Lahey summoned Dr. Blattery
from Bellevue Hospital, who pronoun
the wife dead. Harbin, was still breathing-,
arid whi!" the surgeon was minis+erinr tO
him the Rev Father B<=rgen. of St.
Raphael's Church, arrived on the scene and
administered the last rites to the dying
man. Harbin save the priest two letters,
one addressed tO the public. This letter said
that. Harbin was tired of living and that he
had been thrown down by hfS wife "This

last sentence in th c letter.
At Bellevue Hospital It wa = *aid that

That Postal Deficit
Postmaster-General Hitchcock reports
that the Post-Office Department loses
$64,000,000 a year in the business of
carrying second-class mail (magazines and
periodicals).
There is not a deficit of $17,000,000,
as the department alleges, but actually a
surplus of more than $10,000,000, when
the specific loss on free rural delivery is
taken into consideration, and the de
partment's figures of $64,000,000 loss on
second-class matter are wrong by more
than $60,000,000.
THE SATUHp/lY
EVENING POST
for February 12th devotes its editorial
page to this subject, showing the injustice
of the recommendation to raise the rate on
all magazines and periodicals — but not on
daily papers or the country weeklies.
One fact: In the year ended June
30th, 1908, the weight of second-class
matter compared to T907 decreased 18,
000,000 pounds. The postal expenditures
///creased $t 8,000,000. There is some
thing in it besides second-class matter.
Look for a dozen more facts in this
