place this morning. where he has been at
work for couple of days, went direct to hi.
home and found the door locked. He looked
in and saw one of his children in bed and his
wife lying with blood around her upon the
floor near the bed. He got the Sheriff, and
together they went in and found his three
children in bed and his wife on the floor, all
with their threats cut with razor, which

given for the terrible deed, and there is no
evidence of insanity. She left only the
words "good-by to explain.
