DAUGHTERS SEE MAN SHOOT WIFE AND SLAY SELF
Isador Frankenstein, 57 years old, 123 South Irving avenue, a tailor, believed to have been demented, shot and probably fatally wounded his wife, Mrs. Anna Frankenstein, 52, in their home early this morning. He then committed suicide by firing a bullet into his heart.
The shooting was witnessed by their two daughters, Helen, 24 years old, and Estelle, 16. They notified the police of the Warren avenue station. Three younger children, asleep in the house, remained unaware of the tragedy.
Mrs. Frankenstein, who was shot in the left breast, was taken to the county hospital, where physicians said she probably would die.
For six months, according to Helen, her father had been acting strangely and they feared his reason had been affected.
His actions became so alarming that three weeks ago he was arrested on the complaint of his wife, but she feared to prosecute him when the case was called for trial in the Domestic Relations court, and he was discharged.
Since then Mrs. Frankenstein had slept in a room near that occupied by her two daughters. At 12:45 o'clock this morning Frankenstein arose and, going to his wife's bedroom, began a quarrel that awakened the daughters who went to their mother's aid.
Frankenstein rushed to his room and shortly after 1 o'clock returned with a revolver. He fired one shot at his wife. A moment later he shot and killed himself.
