with bullet holes in their heads. Beside the
body Of the husband aud father lay S2-calibre

supposed he killed his wife and children and
then shot himself On the table letter
written by him 70 his mother in which he told
OF his intention 70 kill his family and himself.
There are no evidences OF any struggle by any
of the victims. Baxter was probably insane, as
no other motive for the horrible crime is known.
