Double murder over a marriage pact ends in tragedy
George Edward Sterry, 72, head of Weaver & Sterry Co and Princeton Theological Seminary director, was shot in his private office by his son George E. Sterry Jr, who then killed himself. The elder man’s planned June wedding to Miss Mabel Briggs Blaikie, a school teacher, triggered the family crisis. Miss Blaikie, related to the Blaikie family and a Newark teacher, collapsed upon learning of the crime. The son left a letter claiming he acted to save his mother’s memory and expressing distress over the engagement. The case shocks East Orange and draws notes of social prominence and a looming European honeymoon trip that never occurred.
