An Aupalling Crime.

DETROIT Mich, Dec. 17.-Yesterday's fire in
a suburb of this city, in which Frank Knox.
with his wife and two children, were burned,
now proves to have been an appalling murder.
This crime was suspected yesterday, but the
finding of a revolver with all the cartridges dis
charged was all the evidence then secured. To
day at noon apost-mortem examination OF the
bodies was made, and resulted in proof positive
ly sustaining that theory Bullet holes and
twenty two caliber bullets were found in the
skulls of both Frank Knox and his wife. No
suspicion attaches to any one as yet. The flu
neral is being held this afternoon, all four bodies
being placed in a single coffin.
