DROWNS SOW TO SPITE WIFE :

Tather Hurlt Two 8#y? Into Mdiit and
BoatU of Aet.
A revolting crime was committed re
cently at the fortifications on the
?outhweat aide of Paris, where a. fa
tter drowned his two boys, aged seven
and nine years.
The murderer Is a costermonger
named Pierre Alfonse Robert. Some
months ago his wife and children left
him owing to his brutality. Then one
day he attacked his wife with a knife
and tried to kill her. Sho In self de
fense tired at him and wounded hlrn
with a revolver. For this she was
tried and acquitted. Mme. Robert re
cently began divorce proceedings
against her husband, but consented to
bis seeing their two sons once a week.
He pleaded with his wife to reconsider
her decision and go back to him, but
she refused.
Robert called at the house of his
wife's parents and took the two boys
for a walk. They went to Sevres, and
on their way back to Issy-les-MolIneux
he suggested a walk ou the top of the
fortifications. The lads consented.
There Is a moat with water about ten
feet deep at this point, and when their
attention was distracted for a momeut.
the inhuman father gave both lads a
violent push. They fell twenty-five
feet Into the water and were drowned.
After waiting until they had sunk
for the last time Robert coolly walked
to his wife's home and told her what
he had done. Afterward he went to
the nearest police station and gave
himself up. "My crime was premedi
tated," he declared. "I loved my wife
at one time, but now I hate her. 1
knew that by killing my boys I would
break her heart. Therefore I did It."
