ANOTHER HORROR.
Brutal Murder Of TIVE Women at DetrOit---
Attempt to Burn the Bodies.


DETROIT, July 14.-At an early
hour this morning the house occupied
by Mrs. Phillips and daughter, in
Wight street, was discovered on fire.
When the flames were extinguished
the dead bodies of two women were
found horribly mangled. A man
named Edward Hoag, who lived with
one Of the women, was arrested on
suspicion. He denies the crime. ,r.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Edward Hoag, the man arrested on
suspicion of having murdered the two
women this morning confessed the
deed. Mrs. Phillips was nearly sew
enty years old, and was on a visit to
her daughter, Mrs. Clair, q widow,
who was living with HOag. His mo-
tive was money, which he endeavored
to obtain from Mrs. Clair by threats.
Upon her refusal to satisfy his de
mands, he procured a hatchet and
struck her several times on the head,
The noise aroused the old woman,
who was sleeping in another room
and HOag, hearing her scream, ran
and finished the bloody work. Mrs.
Phillips head was literally chopped
10 pieces. After numbering the
women, HOag set both beds on fire by
lamp, took his trunk outside the
door and went to the water closet
where he remained until the neigh
bOrhoOd was aroused by the dense
smoke. After the fire was eXtin
guished Mrs. Clair was found to have
crawled from the bed. She was re
moved to a neighbor's house, ant
died in about an hour.
