-------
Before the eyes of their son, a 44 year-old city fireman shot and killed his estranged wife, and then killed himself last night. Police identified the dead as Henry Fink, of the 200 block of Monastery Avenue and Nina Fink, of the 100 block of Jackson Place. Both were 44 years old. Police said the shootings occurred at the apartment home of the couple's son, John Fink, in the 1500 block of Eutaw Place.

The son said that his parents met last night to consider the possibility of a reconciliation. Mr. Fink asked his wife if she would consider a reconciliation and that the wife refused. Immediately the fireman drew a .38-caliber revolver and fired four quick shots, three at his wife and the fourth into the right side of his own head. Both were killed instantly. The shots were fired so rapidly that the son was powerless to prevent the deaths.
