terday Bernard Toker, German farm
er was shot dead and his wife mortally
wounded by Frank Morris, sixteen
year-old boy. Morris is a. son OF the
man from whom Toker purchased his
little farm. The woman Is badly shot
and cannot recover. The scene of the
tragedy is Reich Hill, five miles distant
from Connellsville in the mountains.
The probable motive of the crime was
robbery. While Toker was building a
wall In the cellar, crawling along on his
hands and knees, the boy shot him in
the back Of his head, the bullet coming
out at his forehead. The murderer ran
sacked his victims pockets, securing
few dollars in cash and his silver watch.
Morris then searched the house and
tried to conceal his crime by setting
fire to the building. Mrs. Toker arrived
home at that moment and was fired on
by the murderer without warning. The
woman fell and the boy fled.
