"This thing Is so terrible that I can't Eny anything about It. It Is all so sudden so awful." The Cohens are widely known socially. Tiiclr family Is nn old one nnd nlwnys hns been prominent. Other residents of tun fashionable section In which the i.ohcn home Is located were thrown Into a turmoil by the shooting. Tho house of the tragedy was besieged by neighbors. Servants were kept busy for hours an swering tho telephone and confirming tho news of tho doublo shooting. AGED WOMAN WAS ASLEEP. No one knows what happened In tho big third floor room prior to the shooting, but nil tho evldcnco obtained by pollco and coroner's deputies Indicates that the aged grandmother wns asleep when her grandson, In n dressing gown, walked into tho room and shot her. Tho parents glenned meagre details of whit preceded the shooting from the ser vants. Mr. and Mrs. Cohfii and Miss El eanor Cohen wore still asleep Just beforo 8 o'clock when the shooting was done. They learned that their son nrose per haps 10 minutes before the shooting nnd went to the bathroom, 'there he started to shavo himself. Thero was nothing Irrational in his ac tion" and he did nothing In arouse tho suspicion of the domestics. He remained In the bathroom until he wns hnlt through shaving. Then In- noir. iiuletly back to his room and got the big tfvolvcr. He hnd brought It with him frjm rhlcngo. Then ho went calmly to the loom of Ids grand mother without attracting the slightest attention from the servant and did the shooting. SHOTS AnOUSE DAUGUTEH. Charles J. Cohen, fnther of the dead man, said that he was asleep when tho fatal shots were fired, lie knew nothing of the tragedy until ho waa awakened by his daughter. Mr. Cohen could not reallzo what had happoned at rst and attempted to argue with his daughter. "When I went Into my mother-in-law's room, I found her In bed Just ns sho hud lain whilo asleep. My son lay nt tho bedside clutching the revolver In his hand. I enn nscrlbo no leasou whatso ever for the shooting. Ilenr has never had any tendency toward Insanity. Ho has always been tho brightest of my children. Last night ho wrote Beveral letters on business nnd went to bed about 11 o'clock. Ho aroused early ns ho ex pected to go to Boston on business this morning. Tho thing could not have been accidental as tho boy was shaving nnd had to go from tho bathroom to his own room to got his revolver and from there Inlo hi' Grandmother's room. It Ih foolish lo bellovo that she angered him In any way. She was a little tlnjlrt woman, very feeble and very quiet. lc was very fond of her. It seems a clear case of temporary Insanity to me, though I con fess that 1 am at loss to understand It, as mv son has scarcely had a sick day In his life," Later Mr. Cohen, after thinking over every possible reason that might have Im pelled his son to the shooting, said: "It Is Just barely poaslblo that Harry heaid a noise nfter ho got up and was shnvlng this niornlnJt. In that event he might have rushed into the room, ho might have fired blln.1l. In the belief that there were a burglar In l.ln grandmother s room. The only explanation I can mnko of his suicide in this event is that he killed himself In despair rather than try to explain, but no one knows." airs. Charles ,T. Cohen, mother of the dead man, was prostrated and has been confined to her bed since tho tragedy. "My son thought the world of my mother," hIio said this afternoon. "Thero can be no explanation of the shooting except temporary derangement. I henrd my son knock on mother's door Inst night before he went to bed and say 'good night" to her." Albert 51. Cohen, a biolher of the dead man, and a lieutenant In the United States Navy assigned to duty an nn Instructor nt tho Naval Academy, Annapolis, arrived home yesterday afternoon on a furlough. He said that he and his brother sat be fore tho fire after dinner last night talk ing over old times. "5ty brother seemed very cheerful, and. we laughed anil Joked for some time. About 10 o'clock he went upstairs, say ing that he wanted to wrlto somo letters before he went to bed. Ho told me that he Intended going to Boston today and ihni Iib had his trunk nil packed. t went to bed soon after and slept soundly till I was awakened this morning by my sister Eleanor. I was absolutely diim founded at the iics. I rushed upstairs and found my brother dying. TICKED UP THE GUN. "I did not suspect at first that ho had shot my grandmother. Nothing wns dis arranged on her bed. I picked up tho gun and noticed that two bullets had been fired. I wondered where the other bullet hud gone, as I saw Hint Henry had only been shot once, and then I wondered why my grandmother had not been aroused. I pulled back the covers, which wero over her head, and saw tho terrible truth. I suppose my sister had drawn the covera over his head to hide the horrible sight, but grandmother must have been Bhot while she was asleep. It is all too monstrous. I can think of no reason at all which would havo driven my brother to commit such an act except the theory of Insanity which the doctor advanced. "So far as I know there has never been any such weakness lii our family. My brother was very bright. We were all very fond of him. He has never married and I know of no love affair that would have troubled him. His business affairs were In such good shape that he boasted of them to me last night. To me the whole business Is Incomprehensible." Eleanor, a Bister of Henry, and the only one who heard tho shots, sleeps In r rear room on the third floor. She was remarkably cool all through the morn ing, being the only one In the family In condition to accompany her brother to the hospital. "I was still In bed when the shots were fired, but I was wide awake," she said. "I heard my brother arise and go down stairs. After he had eaten breakfast he rams upstairs and went Into his room. Hh waa wnlslling aim men iiunmnni, u i. . He went Into the Bathroom where ,. started to shave. I heard a door open somewhere, whether he was golnff Into his own room or Into the room of my grandmother 1 cannot say, and then after a second's Interval. I heard a shot I screamed, and sat up In bed, but was afraid to Investi gate. I heard a sound which I think was a groan ana wen mora wn mu bcwhm shot. I heard a heavy fall and the bump of the revolver on the floor for all the doors wore open. I could stand the mystery no longer and stumbled out of bed Into my grandmother's room. The shocking sight appalled me and I really don't know what I did after that, SUMMONS DOCTOR "I was able to get dressed and summon Doctor Owen and I was with my brother at the hospital until he died. As to the reason for the shooting- I can only say that my brother was a brljht, extremely rational and common-sense kind of 'a man, and that there was a genuine affeq. tlon between him and grandmother. He was very jolly last night and kissed ma good-by In cee ho left today for Boston before I should be up. He carried the revolver In his suitcase for protection when he traveled." young Cohen arrived In tho city last Saturday.

Early In the morning of February 8. 1005, Cohen, then but 22 years old, was found In the library of his home following a fusillade of revolver shots that aroused other members ot tho fam ily. Cohen had one bullet through his leg. He was on the floor. Five bullet holes were In the celling. He was taken to a hospltnl where he hold a storv of hearing a noise on the llrst floor and finding a former butler, who had been discharged, attempting to burglarize the dwelllnr- He said the burglar had shut him und es caped. A negro who formerly had been cm ployed at the Cohen home was arrested. HIb namo is George Hall. After a hear ing he was discharged. .lames I. Don aghy, thon cnptaln of detectives In this city, flatly accused Cohen of "faking" the story of the butler-burglar, but Co hen stuck to his stoiy. In spite of this It was fotfnd thero was not sutllclent evidence to hold the Negro. Tho true story of thus, If that told by Cohen at the time wns Incorrect, has never been divulged. Cohen and every member ot his family .efused to ta'.k of It. The case finally was dropped befoie Cohen was discharged from the hospital after his wound healed. 5IEMBKU OF SELECT CLUBS. Cohen was it member of the 5Ianhclm Ho formcily was treasurer of City Troop A, National Guard. Ho was a member of the 1002 class of the University of Pennsylvania, but did not complete his studies there. He took somo part In club athletics. Some yeain ago there is said to have been friction in the Cohen home, as a result of wnich, accord ing to a friend of the family, young Cohen wns asked to leave. This condition existed for some time. His mother acted ns Intermediary be tween hltn und his father and eventually managed to patch up their differences. Then the son returned to the 21at uticet home. 51oic than a year ago Cohen en tried the employ of the Ketterlinus Lithographing Company, at 4th and Arch stieets. He served an apprenticeship as a salesman and made good. Then, after some cxpe rlenre on the road, he was sent to Chi cago as branch manager In thai city for Iho firm. Some time befoie Christmas, according to Walter Clothier, secretary of the com pany, Cohen was taken III and spent some weeks In n hospital. It was said today that he hud had n mental collapse at that time, but this was not verified by members ot the family. Last Saturday Cohen returned to this city. He called up the Ketterlinus com pany and told Mr. Clothier that he had the permission of C 11. Sudler, vice presi dent ot the company, to leave his post at Chicago. He said his mother had been 111.

Consult a physician at the first ominous sniffle that may portend anything from grip to pneumonia, for a doctor's bill Is usually less than an undertaker's, even though the latter can be paid out of the Insurance settlement. "There Is something dangerous and uncomfortable about an cast wind." alri Doctor Ziegler today. "This Is tho season of capricious weather that can slintter even Ihe strongest constitutions.

You pay a little more in initial cost of the case you get a good deal more in actual service. The secret is ours it's the composition of the RED RUBBER. The advantage is yours you get it in increased mileage. mpire 9m You know RED RUBBER has more life than gray. You have experienced it with red rubber bands, rea water bottles, red garden hose. We applied it first in our famous Peerless tube that all motorists know. The natural step was to make casings of the. same material. It's their habit not to give out and they only wear out after giving you 100 cents on the dollar. If you should fail to get 100 service from an Empire RED, you're not out of pocket one cent. Just bring it back and we will satisfy you tully. l hey don t come any tairer than that, do they?
