MONROE, Mich, Sept John Wilkin- son and his wife were brutally tortured and murdered by two tramps at their farm, near here. The motive of the tramps was robbery. They found the couple alone at home late in the afternoon and demand ed from Wilkinson sum of money which they had ascertained he had recently re- ceived. Wilkinson refused, whereupon tho tramps set upon the farmer and his wife. and after beating them almost to insensi- bility tortured them in the most cruel manner in the hope of extorting from them the hiding place of their money.
 Overtaken by Swift Retribution.
 Failing in this the tramps became en- ragged and finished their iendish work by murdering the couple. Retribution, how ever, was quick, and justice of the most summary nature was dealt out to the f1ends. A ten-year-old son of Farmer Wilkinson, who had been in an outhouse, heard the shrieks of his mother and gave the alarm. The tramps fled, but were captured by posse of citizens who came upon them near Maybee station.
 Riddled with Bullets.
 They were not even given time to say their prayers, but were shot on sight by the infuriated citizens. The bodies were completely riddled with bullets.
