Tristram Brothers Identified as Mead Murderers in White Plains
The two burglars who killed Mead at White Plains are identified as John and Thomas Tristram of New York City. They are sons of James Tristram, wire cloth and sieve maker, of Munroe Street, with five brothers and a father. Authorities report the brothers, ages 16 and 23, were employed by older Tristrams at Water Street sieve works. Their deaths follow a family pattern of involvement and misled by sensational reading. Funeral services for Mead were held at Memorial Methodist Church Wakre Prams, with sermons condemning sensational literature and urging caution to youth. The Tristram bodies lay in the county farm dead house awaiting burial tomorrow.
