of the head. The arms of the young
est were extended at full length. He
seemed to have clutched something
and then to have released his hold,
and there is no longer an appearance
of rigidity in the hands. His nose Is
iattened as if crushed by a havy
weight. and around his head and neck
there Is a pink-cOlored mark as If a
strap had been drawn tightly over 1t.
He Is apparently about thirty-five or
thirty-six years Of age, though he may
have been older. His hair is rather
curly than other wise, and he has a
mustache and imperial also inclined
10 curl and rather lighter than his
hair. He wears a plain black suit, Of
a smoky appearance, white shirtRnd
gold studs. He wears high laced
shoes. In his pocket was found q sill
yer hunting-case watch, frozen by the
water which had entered the case
The back of his head is severely burn
ed. The eldest of the Jews was found
next after him, and very near. He is
stOuter and shorter. His face wears
q fearful expression, giving him the
appearance Of one who had been
strangled, and his tongue is thrust
half out of his mouth, between his
clenched teeth. His hair had been
apparently cropped close, and he wore
closely trimmed black whiskers, eX-
tending around his face. His clothes
were all black. The vest, peculiar
one, buttons two inches up the neck,
and tightly about it. In his vest pOck-
ct was found a gold hunting-case
watch. He too was found with his
face down, and the back Of his head
was burned almost to q coal.
A MOTHERS sHELTERING ARMS IN
DEATH.
A woman, supposed TO be the wife
of Rev. Morril Fowler, was next found
clasping her children in her arms
Unlike those found before, her face
and not the back Of the head was
burned. She was lying on her back,
and her face has the perfect appear
ance of
A SKULL CUT IN CHARCOAL,
the lips being opened, disclosed her
teeth, white and seeming 10 grin.
Lying in the ear, upon the floor, one
child, little girl Of six years, is yet
within her embrace, and the other,
babe Of sixteen months, is seemingly
creeping upon her bosom. It must
have been the poetic fancy Of some
one Of the rough but honest men
whose hands dropped her there so
carelessly to place the little ones she
clung to 50 closely in this position.
IN VELVET AND JEWELS.
Near this woman now lies the body
of another, dressed in asilk rOUe, with
lace cuffs and a linen collar. A gold
chain is suspended from her neck and
to a watch (gOld), and bear
ing an inscription, and she wears dia-
mOnd ornaments and rings. It is
that this is Mrs. Pease, Of
Buffalo, though the inscription in the
her name is Perry. The following Is
the inscription
