A tragic homecoming awaited Charles Holt, mill overlooker, of Cunliffe-street, Stockport. Two letters from his wife were lying on the table, and, on rushing up- stairs, Holt found his two little boys, Harry, (aged four) and Fred (aged two) lying side by side on the bed, dead. They had been laid out on the bed, and were co- vered with a sheet. The children had apparently been drowned in the bath, and their mother, who was also wet, was lying on a single bed in the same room... She was removed to the hospital in a criti "thl"condition
