John Kobler murders his wife, 1908
from the New Jersey Mirror Mar 4 1908 Angered at his wife because she refused to leave her parents and go home with him to Atco, this State, Jacob Kobler shot and instantly killed her on Thursday afternoon at her parents' home, on Kensington avenue(number not stated), Philadelphia, and during the struggle which followed, shot and wounded Rudolph A. Ferber and Elizabeth Ferber, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then made a bluff at committing suicide by shooting himself in the head. He then jumped out of a second-story window and tried to make his escape across the fields to a small creek into which he plunged. The icy water soon chilled his heated blood and he crawled back and surrendered to his pursuers.
