Five Murders for . Few thousand
Dollars.

A Raleigh IN. c. special says: The
coroner's investigation into the death Of
the Joyce family in Buncombe county
established the fact that each one was
killed by blow from an axe, and that
the house was burned to destroy all
traces Of the murders. The object was
to obtain the money kept in the house
by the old man Joyce. The amount is
known to have exceeded $1,000 in spe-
Gle besides psIsr-money. Three s:ran-
gers, apparently engaged in . fox-hunt,
who were at the house on the morning
befo::s the tragedy, are suspected, and
efforts are making to identify and ar
rest them.
