Cbarles Tyndall Commits
and Suicide.
Murder
Well-Known lo Anibler, Where He
Resided Several Inn Ago—Married
Sarah Marsh and Had Oaa Child-
Facts of the Tragedy.
Oharles Tyndall, of Wilmington,
Del., formerly a resident in Ambler
'for several years, last Wednesday
afternoon shot and instantly killed
Mrs. Olara Newcomb, of that oity,
and then sent two bullets into his own
brain, dying almost instantly, it is
believed the woman refused his advances to elope with him.
Tyndall came originally from Delaware, bnt for some yeara -worked on
Lindenwold farms, and while here resided in'the family of John Marsh,
marrying;th.e latter's daughter, Sarah.
They have one obild, a daughter.
The fam i ly moved away from Ambler several years ago, and trace of the
Tyndalls was lost to local parties. It
is very probable, however, that domes-
itic unhappiness caused a separation
and that Tyndall waa living alone in
-Wilmington. He had evidently gone
to Mrs. Newcomb's honse for the purpose of inducing the woman to leave
her home and elope with him. In the
meantime Mrs. Kate Beanohamp, the
mother of the woman,' arrived and began questioning the daughter about
the presence of Tyndall. While this
conversation was going on the man
• suddenly appeared to become angry,
'and, drawing a revolver, shot the
woman - twioe in the breast The
woman fell dying into the arms of her
mother.
As soon as he realised what he had
done, Tyndall turned the revolver to
his own head, and, ahooting two bullets direct into his brain, fell into a
pool of blood on the floor and died instantly. The police w'ere notified, but
there was nothing they could do, aa
the parties directly interested were
dead. The body of Tyndall waa taken
to the morgue. .
Clement Newcomb, the husband of
the woman, was summoned from his
work at the plant of the Lea Milling oompany, and was almost prostrated when he learned the news. He
knew nothing of Tyndall having endeavored to get his wife to elope. The
police claim that Tyndall has been
annoying Mrs. Newcomb for some
time. He frequently threatened to kill
her if she did not leave her husband
and go with him, but she evidently
did not regard the matter seriously.
North Hills Country Club.
' | The North Hills Oonntry olnb is the
new name adopted by the organization formerly known as the Edge Hill
Oonntry olnb, at a meeting of the
members. Although tbe golf links and
honse of the club are situated at Edge
Hill station on the Reading railroad,
the change of name was determined
because it is in no sense a local organization. I(s members are residents of
Mt., Airy, Jenkintown, Germantown,
Wynoote, Elkins Park, Oak Lane,
Qlenside, Ambler and other'suburbs in
the hills north of Philadelphia, so
that the name, North Hills Conntry
olnb, is peculiarly appropriate.
Many plans for improvement and extension were made at the meeting. A
charter has been applied for, and applioation'will be made for admission
to the Philadelphia Golf assooiation.
The membership of the olnb, now
more than 186, is fast increasing,
abont 60 applioations being in the
hands of tho membership oommittee.
Frank J. Sheble, of Mt. Airy, is
president of the North Hills Oonntry
olnb; George W: Long, of Elkins Park,
is vice president, and Allan D. Wallis,
of Wyncote, is obairman of the membership oommittee.
