The eldest son was his last victim, and there is no doubt
from the fact of his having one stocking and garter on, that
the poor little fellow was in the act of dressing, when his
wretched father summoned him to destruction.. It would
seem here, from the carpet in the psssage leading from the
room-in which he had slept to that of the third room, where
he was murdered, . being rolled up in many places, that the
poor little fellow had struggled very hard, and his cries were
so loud as to be beard in the next house.
However, on getting him inside the door, his wretched fa-
ther cut his throat, and then his own► as both fell quite close
together, the boy on his left side, and the murderer on his
right; both heads are not more than six inches apart. Mrs.
Lucas, thinking that her husband was up stairs much longer
than was necessary, sent her niece from the kitchen to see
what was detaining him, and the girl, on going along the
passage, saw the Younger boy on the side of her aunt's bed,
with his throat cut as has been before described. She in-
stantly shrieked out for assistance, and Mr. Pearson, a gen-
tlemen occupying apartments on the next floor, ran up stairs
with. Mrs. Lucas, when the appalling
,sight above described
presented itself.
The scenes which presented itself ip the third room baffles
description. The razor with which the murderer effected
his purpose was held firmly in his right hand, and its blade
is a striking object, as it is in around position, with its point
resting on the right cheek of the poor boy.
