It is conclusively established in the testimony that on February 4, 1917, Anna E. Weirich Tuffy, plaintiffs’ testatrix, was murdered by her husband, John Tuffy, defendants’ intestate, who immediately thereafter took his own life. At this time Anna E. Weirich Tuffy was forty-five years of age and John Tuffy was thirty-six years of age; and they were married June 16, 1916.
