4 F1THER'S HORRIBLE CRIME.
HE MURDERS HIS WIFE AND TWO OF HIS chill
DREN AND TRIES TO BURN THE BODIES.

DREN AMP TRIES TO BURN THE BODIES
Pittsburg July &.-George Smans laborer and
his wife and four children have occupied miserable
quarters i'm Oak Alley for about three years QUAR-
reIs have been frequent that the neishbors gave
them little attention. At IL o'clock last night a
quarrel was In progress. but no unusual noise was
heard At about 2 o'clock this morning the South
Side Fire Department was called TO eXtinguish n
fire in the house. When the tremen arrived they
found Mrs Smans lying at the door She was sui
brea thng, but died in IA few moments me fre
was soon extingushed. The fremen found blood
shattered over the floor. furniture and walls of the
downstairs room. In the upstairs room the feather
bed was on fire. and when the hremen pulled 1t from
the Stats TO throw II out of the window, they
noticed something heavy about it. They reached
into "A slit and pulled out the body OF child. Ihe
body was burned black aud not stitch OF clothes
WAS on IT, The black and charred body of another
child was under the bed. This body was also taken
and a search made for more, but no others were
found on the floor were two hammers covered
with blood a broken lamp. and blood on nearly
every piece of furniture and every foot OF the floor.
The room was in terrible disorder. showing that a
desperate struggle took place between the murderer
and his first victim, his wife.
The surroundings would indicate that the man
and wife had fought, and that he knocked her to
the floor with house hammer weighing pound.
1t il thought he used this until the handle flew
off and then procured heavy machinsts ham,
mer After the mother received her death blow the
father killed his two daughters. aged six and four
yeats He had struck them several blows
their heads with the heavy hammer, every blow
crushing their skulls. His next work was to place
the lamp under the bed so that the bed clothing
readily gnlted. hoping thereby to conceal the ter
rible crime. a boy eight years old and a thirteen
wee,s-od infant were uninjured by their father,
but were left in the building after 1t had been set
on lire.
The boy who was saved told the police this morn
ing that his father killed his mother 'lIe hit her
the head three times with the ha tchet," sobbed
the child. The neighbors think jealousy was the
cause of the awful deed.
The bodies of the victims were taken to the South
Side morgue and SmanS locked up
