FORMER RESIDENT
HERE KILLS ViFE
AND THEN HIMSELF
John Engl, of Omaha, Who Lived
Several Years Ago, Commits
Murder and Suicide.
From TU'-'sday's Paily
As the culmination of domestic
trouble alleged to have been of some
years' standing, John En:l, aged 57.
former Plattsmouth resilient and well
known Omaha railroad labor leader,
is dead by his own hand and hi? wife
murdered by him.
The tragedy occurred Monday
night at 10 o'clock at the home
1723 So. Eighteenth street. Omaha,
where the family resided for a num
ber of years.
The reason for the shooting is not
known, but the Engls are said to
have had domestic trouble for sev
eral years.
Mrs. Engl's clothing indicated that
fhe had fought desperately with her
husband. Her night dress was par
tially torn away.
Xeighbors heard four shots at
about 10, folowed by a single shot a
few minutes later, but they paid lit
tle attention, as Engl frequently used
his revolver at night to shoot rats in
his backyard. Some time later a
neighbor parsed the house and saw
the two bodies through an open win
dow. Four EuIIets in Head
Police found Mrs. Engl's body,
with four bullet holes in the head,
lying cn a cot in the front room.
Engl's body, with one shot through
the head, lay in the dining room.
Engl bad been wearing his hat and
cmoking a pipe when he shot him
rrlf. The straw hat. marked by pow
der burns, was found on the floor be
side the body. The pipe was still
c!enc!ied in his teeth.
Mrs. Robert Andrews, a daughter,
429 South Twenty-fourth street,
raid Monday night that Engl had
often threatened his wife's life.
"The last time was about two
months azo. when the three of us
attended the funeral of Ed Porter,
commission man. who shot and kill
ed his . wife and himself." she said,
"s we left the chapel, father said.
'That's what I'm going to do some
day.' "
The Engls are well known in
Omaha, and have lived for CO years
near their present home.
Engl was formerly a car repair
man at the Union Pacific shops, and
was a leading spirit in the repair
man's strike in July. 1922. When
the strike was lost Engl refused to
go back, and was never reinstated.
He had since been active in union
circles, however. Mrs. Engl had
been employed in the kitchen at St.
Joseph hospital.
Quarrels Were Frequent
Xeighbors Monday night said that
the Engls had quarreled frequently,'
but that they heard no quarrel be
fore the shooting.
Police believe that an argument
began when Engl returned home
about 10 and found his wife sleep
ine. It is supposed that they had a
struggle in the bedroom- at the rear
of the house, and that Mrs
Engl
broke away and ran into the front
room. Here she was struck by the
first of Engl's bullets, and fell dying
on the cot. Powder burns indicated
that he then placed the weapon
against her head and fired again
twice. Two of the bullets went com-
pTetely through her head.
Engl then went to the dining
room, laid bis insurance policies anci
bank book on the table, and shot
himself through the temple.
The bodies were taker; to the Hoffman-Crosby
mortuary. It is not be
lieved that an inquest will be held.
The Engls are surviveel by three
children. One son. Otto, is a prohi
bition agent stationed in Omaha,
living at 5522 Mayberry avenue. An
other son, John, lives in Kansas City.
Mrs. Robert Andrews is the third
child.
While residents of this city the
family resided in the northwest por
tion of the city near the present Ma
sonic Home and will be well remem
bered by a number of the residents
here.

the national sacrifice her dearest
treasure an only son.
Mrs. Mostin is the widow of one
'of hoswho fought under the Ftara
and stripes in the days of the great
civil conflict when the very life of
the nation was at stake. When the
great cry from the islands of the
sea, burdened under the Spanish
domination, arose, this nation again
stepped forth and among those who
responded to the call of his country
was Guy Mostin, the only son of this
splendid American mother. He re
sponded freely and on the battlefield
gave the greatest sacrifice that a
man can offer his country his life.
The donation of this splendid lady
is deeply appreciated for the wonder
ful inspiration that its sentiment
gives, the spirit of sacrifice which
has brought us life and liberty and
which still burns on undimmed in
the hearts of those who have love of
country and community in their
hearts. A part of the letter of Mrs.
Mostin tells the story of her offer
ltrg: "Please accept this dollar to your
fund. I would be glad if I could give
more but cannot. You get it with a
glad heart to help the cause. Mrs.
Betty Mostin to the Legion Boys."
