vey, a bookkeeper for J. w. Lyon, was
arrested this morning for embezzling "a, 600
from his employer. He was shortly after
ward bailed out by DR.. Lett. During the
forenoon Harvey purchased a revolver, but
what use he was to make of it was not
dreamed of until this afternoon, when for
some reason, the chief of police visited
Harvey's residence. The chief found the
house locked, but by raising window he
made his way inside.
A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
He passed through the kitchen and dining
rooms, looked into the parlor, then went
upstairs, where the first object he saw was
Harvey's fair haired daughter of l2 years
lying on the floor Of the front bedroom
with her head in pool of blood. A bloody
hole in her head told the means
by which she had met her
death. The chief raised the dead
child's head from its cramped position and
laid it on pillow. He then passed through
the upper hail. and in the back bedroom
found Harvey's eldest daughter lying beside
the bed, also dead.
CORPSE OF THE WIFE.
Horrifled, the chief went down stairs, and
in the clothes room of the kitchen he found
a similar bullet wound. A further search
through the house revealed nothing more,
and no trace was found of the author of the
dreadful triple murder Harvey went to
the Central school about IL o'clock this
morning, and took his youngest daughter
home. He was seen driving toward
Schaw station, and it is thought he may
have taken train for Toronto. Accord
ingly, his son, who lives there, has been
warned, for fear of further bloodshei.
Harvey was superintendent Of the school of
St Georges church. His motive for COM
mittiug The murder is unknown.

parently insane. He had SO 1t a message to
his son, who works in the city, asking him
to walk down town and stay with him over
night. The son had gone to Guelph on
receipt of the news of the murder, and the
message fell into the hands of the police,
