On the way they began talking about the

DONE IN BLOOD.
Terrible Dutohsy Near the Little Town
Of Psnton.
4 HUMAN Riend Ktlls His Hest and
Hostess In Cold Blood.

HARDWOOD, Mo-, Jan. "A horribly
deliberate and brutal double murder was
committed Tuesday night in log farm
house near Fcnton, . small village six miles
9 iittw 1t Of here. The house is just over
the border Of tferson from St. Louis
county. 1t was tenanted by thrifty
young German farmer, LoHis Boedicker.
On Dec. . he married pretty girl, jose.
phine Glst, whom he took to settle on this
farm, which he had rented. Josephine
was for a long time servant with Mrs.
Henry Bcrumeister, OF No. 1904 Hickory
street, St. Louis, who gives her the high
est character.
All bis neighbors speak In the highest
terms VI Bpedicker, who 10 represented AZ
. hard working and industrious youth,
who, however, had never been able to save
money, aud had worked out as hired man
until bis marriage.
DETAILS OF THE BU rCHERY.
The house where the pair lived consisted
Of two rooms, separated by q thin plank
partition, aud 1t IL clear that they had hos.
pitably allowed the some one, who proved
to be their murderer, TO sleep In
their inner Dom on Tuesday night.
II Is perfectly certain that husband
and wife won't to bed together 4, And
.ual al some time in the night the muir.
dersr arose, and, taking an Ak which 81.
ways stood In the outer room, killed
Boedicker with the hrst or second OF the
two blsws Of which the body bears marks
on the neck. The wife had evidently
weakened at the sound, aud rushing
r.ugh the door bad fed for life down
he road. The murderer followed and
struck her three blows, one on the back
Of the head and two on the neck,
any Of which would have proved fatal.
He then dragged the body by the hair
back 10 the house and left 1t 90 the door.
HE WASHED HIS Hands
Of the blood In bucket of water which was
found TO oontsin sQuantity OF the life blood
ss we'll - Of the hair Of the victim. He had
before prisd open clothes chest with the
AK, from the blade Of which quantity of
blood and hair was left sticking to the edge
and lid Of the box, and the marks Of his
bloody dngels were apparent on aim ost
every article Of dress Il contained. The AZ
with which the crime was committed was
left standing In the corner 10 all the horrors
Of Its bloody blade and handle. Itdoes OF
sppear that the murderer took anything
unless 1t bs one Of the Boedicker's shirts,
~ be left bis own behind. This is about
the only clue 10 his identity.
