MOTHER SHOT DEAD.
DAUGHTER'S DEED IN CAR. (Received 9.30 a.m.) DETROIT, October 3. A young woman of 23 years, Ruth McHenry, whom her mother had patiently motored each day to a psychiatrist, and who had apparently improved after three months' treatment, shot her mother and seven-year-old brother dead in the car while they were returning home. A shot grazed another brother, aged 14. The young woman then shot herself dead. The family was socially prominent, the father, James McHenry, being a noted attorney. He searched frantically all night before he found the car and bodies. Professor Greene, of the University of Michigan, who treated the young woman, said: "She thought the whole family was against her."
