WASHINGTON, January 16-This

body in a well partly covered with
boulders. Bullet holes were in his
head. The wife and two sons we're
arrested at once. The neighbors say
that Mr.. Smith was habitually
mistreated by his wife and sons. Yes
terday the little children said they
we're locked in a bedroom one night
about the time their father disappear
ed, and that they heard two shots in
the kitchen and two in the back yard.
Blood was found on a chair in the
garret and on the gate posts. The
coroner's investigation has not yet
