manager of a hay and produce company, shot her fatally early today in their 
home at Newrk,N.J. Fryer then turned the revolver on himself and blew out his 
brains,his body falling across that of his wife. The ponly daughter of the 
couple, 9 years old, was sleeping in an adjoining room at the time the tragedy 
occurred. Awakened by the shots, she rushed into the room only to see her
