      DOUBLE CRIME IN GRUNDY..STOKES TATE KILLS WIFE WITH RIFLE THEN TURNS IT ON SELF

      Stoker Tate, 25, shot and killed his wife, Frances Tate, 33, at their home today and then turned the .22 caliber rifle on himself and inflicted a fatal wound. Acting Coroner Henry Meyers returned a verdict of murder and suicide. Cause of Tate's action was not determined immediately. He had been a WPA worker in Grundy County, but had not been working lately. Deputies Jim McGovern and Oscar Price, and the coroner investigated. Five children survive the Tates. Funeral services will be held here tomorrow.
