TRIPLE MURDER AND RAPE.
ST. LOUIS, April l6-A dispatch from
San Antonio, Texas, says: A most horri-
BILE triple murder was committed about
eight miles from this city on Thursday
last The murdered people were Mrs
John Simmons, whose throat was cut
from ear to ear, her little boy four years
old, whose brains were dashed out on a
rock, and Mrs. Parker, the mother of
Mrs Simmons, who seems to have been
strangled. 1t was first thought that John
Simmons, the husband and father, who
has a bad reputation in the place where
he lived, was the murderer, but his herd
er; named Phillips, was arrested last night
on suspicion of having committed the
terrible deed. A pair of suspenders
known to have belonged to Phillips were
found tied around Mrs. Simmons legs,
and his gun was found near by with blood
on it. The facts and circumstances seem
to show that Mrs. Simmons, and perhaps
her mother, were raped and then killed.

twelve feet and died instantly, the fall
breaking hissneck. Dueron was desper-
ate character He killed his first wife
several years before, but was never
brought to justice. He has for the past
two months made several attempts to
commit suicide, but without success. The
murder of his second wife caused much
excitement at the time, and was regarded
as cold blooded and indicative of brutal
nature, and capable of nothing better.
Dueron was about forty years old, and
had repulsive face. His hanging is re-
garded as just and proper punishment
for his devilish crimes.
