tso years ago came 20 Seattle. where he
has since been employed by the Bat View
bresing Company. The ooapse had be- "a
married seven years and lived happily.
The mH-asrsrs. after sernriag their
poofy, set are 70 the pile Of bedeloshing
and chairs they had prepared in the sit
ting roozn. and made their escape, evi-
IDENTITY expecting the boass to burn down,
and leave no trace ofEhesr crine. The fact
that haendf's Foom 8as no. disturbed
would seem TO argue either that they
were frightened away before finishing the
work Of plumber mapped ont previously,
or stopped on finding the money in
Naier's trunk. kfendl has been
out Of work for month,
and he may have been supposed
TO be without money. The open window
IN sehindei's room suggests thai one Of
the men may have made his escape down
over the kitchen roof
The Miilers have, with few exceptions,
lived pesceably with their nesghbers
About two months ago some enc
poisoned a valuable dog belonging 20
one OF the children, and little
later stairway leading up the hill froEn
the road was broken down by some ma
iicious persons. With these exceptions
nothing had occurred 10 disturb them.
The condition of the woman's body
shows that she must have made desperate
fight for her life. On her face and head
were no less than ten cuts, while her
whole face was mashed in, evil
IDENTIFY by repeated blows dealt with
the bloody hammer found on the
premises. There we're four blows on her
head that would have caused death. one
over the right eye in direct line about
two inches, another almost IN the
center OF the forehead. another
on the left temple over the left eye almost
in the same position as the one over the
right eye, and another that knocked the
left eye completely out, fracturing the
bones of the face. The other wounds
were 81 follows: Cut on left cheek bone
half att inch from the center of the ear,
left esr entirely battered to pieces. both
lips cut, cut on left side Of the chin, cut
on the nose aud another cash on the left
side OF the head well back
in the hair, which fractured the
skull. The hands and arms were bruised
and disoolored, showing that the
woman had fought to the end. A
ring on the middle finger of the
left hand was fattened, showing
that 1t had been struck perhaps when the
hand was upsitted to shield the head. The
face was discolored and swollen and the
head so beaten and smashed as to make
the features unrecognizable.
The left side of the baby's head was
crushed and smashed by blow and the
head and face showed three cuts, one on the
left side Of the chin, another on the left
temple, and the third on the left
ear. which was also smashed. The left
eheekbone and left side of the head were
mashed to pieces, showing that more than
one blow was dealt with the hammer.
Detective Cudihee is working on the
case, but up to a late hour had made no
report on any clues be may have as to the
murderers.
Charles Miller, relative of John Miller.
has offered s., 900 reward Tor the arrest and
conviction of the murderers.
