posed to have taken place at an early
hour this morning. When the inhuman
deed was discovered at B o'clock this even
ing all five bodies were stiff and cold i'm
death with their throats cut from ear to
ear. Sleiar and wife were lying together
across the foot of the bed and the three
children were the floor i'm different

heavily and il il riimored that he and hi ;
