THE SURRENDER

SHOT DEAD BY BROTHER

Assailant Then Takes

Own Life

Two Richmond fremen described recently how they were called, in the early morning, to the scene of a double tragedy. The victims, brother and sister, were:

Dr. Naomi Dancy, 49, wife of Dr. John Dancy, of Queen's-road.. and her brother.

Maurice Odell Tribe, 43, an ex- Army officer, who lost an eye in the war and, who was losing the sight of the other.

Fireman Gibbs and Fireman Lawrence both contributed to the following narrative:

"We were

on ambulancé duty when we were called to the home of Dr. Dancy. We found the door open and the doctor and the maid standing in the hall.

"The doctor was in a very distres- sed condition. We had to restrain him. He told us: 'My wife's brother has shot her eyes out and killed. himself. He feared blindness-and was jealous of my wife's eyes,” ·

"We went up to the first floor and haw the woman lying in bed. She must have been asleep at the time. There was no sign of a struggle. "

Tribe had stayed with his sister and brother-in-law for a few weeks.

It is understood that treatment on his eye by Dr. Dancy was ap- parently successful.

The names of Dr. Dancy and his wife are well known in Richmond and in medical circles in London.

The wife qualified as a surgeon only a day before her husband-on Sept. 20, 1914. Both took the diplomas of M.R.C.B. and LRCP in that year,

After the war they were both at London University, where took the degrees of Bachelor of they
