The Horrible Crime Committed by a

The Horrible Crime Committed by a
Missouri Maniac.
RTDGEwAY, Mo-, December 13.-The
most horrible human butchery ever re-
corded in this section was committed
five miles southwest of this city to-day.
David g. Spragg in q fit OF insanity mur-
dered his wife and two children and
MORALLY wounded his two stepchildren,
and then took his own life. The weapon
which the maniac welded with such ap-
palling results was large butcher knife.
The nearest neighbor OF the Spraggs
lived almost mile distant, and it was
some time before the news OF the crime
spread. In few hours numbers OF peo-
pie arrived from town, and an inyestiga-
Lion Of the scene was made.
A most sickening sight met their gaze.
Lying IN the yard near the gate was the
remains OF Mrs. Spragg, mutialed al.
most beyond recognition. In the little
dwelling in one corner OF the sitting
loom lay the lifeless body OF lutte Galley,
8 years old, and in the other Albert,
four-year-old boy. On the kitchen floor,
with blood besmeared all over his hands
and face and still clinching the terrible
instrument OF death, lay the author of
the awful crimes. Two stepchidren of
Sprsgg, both under 6 years, were taken
10 the home Of neighbor, where they
are dying from dozens OF cuts that cover
their little bodies. Evidences OF ter
rible struggle were plainly visible in the
>pragg home, where the walls and fur
niture were spattered with blood. The
particulars OF the butchery are learned
from Dora, the eleven-year old step
daughter of Spragg, who, euding her
-tepfather's murderous grasp, escaped to
neighbor's and gave the alarm.
Spragg had been planning all morn
ing OF his head, and the nearest neiglI-
Dor, Mr.. Meyers, was sent to Rlgeway
ior a doctor. Soon after Movers left
Spragg tied Caley's hands behind him
aud deliberately cut his throat. Mrs.
Sprsgg rushed into the room and at
tempted TO interfere. when Spragg made
Tor her. She ran into The yard, around
The house and then into it again, closely
followed by Spragg. In the house lie
caught her, and desperate struggle re-
suited. He literally hacked her head
and face TO pieces, and then, cutiing her
head almost from the body, dragged her
by the hair into the yard. Covered with
gore, the human monster returned to the
house to continue his work.
Dora, who was sick in bed, hal climbed
ont of window in the meantime aud
escaped. When the people first began
arrive they were kept from entering
ny Spragg, who stood in the door with a
loaded shotgun. Finally he lork,d the
loor, and it was then that he butchered
his stepchildren. Just as the crowd was
preparing to break into the house two
,hots were heard, and when the door was
finally forced open Spragg was dead and
the scene as described was presented to
view. The two stepchildren cannot re-
cover.

unions shall give all workmen in this
broad land equality OF opportunity.

rights must respect The rights OF othera."
