William MOTLING and wife were found dead in bed at their boarding house in Chicago. They had been asphyxiated by gas. A hole in the elbow of the main pipe leading from the street filled the room with poison while MOTLING and his wife slept. Before retiring the couple had tightly closed every door and window for fear of taking cold.
