Ortweip, the murderer ofthe Ham
net family has made another horri-
bic confession. A Pittsburgh dis
patch says of it:
''He now states that it was his in
tention to outrage the persons of the
eldest daughter on. the night of the
murder, but that she resisted and he
killed her. Her screams awakened
the other children, who were in bed,
and he killed them also. On the
return of the parents, who were
away spending the evening, he kill
ed Mr.. Hamnett with one blow of
the AK, and after a considerable
struggle with Mrs. Hamnett, he dis
patched her also. He then set fire
to the house, it occurred to him that
the people would think he, too, had
persisted in the flames. The motive
which he now gives for the murder
is supposed to be the correct one.
The Governor has not fixed the day
for his execution yet"
