CHICAGO, Feb. 5-An entire family Of
six, father, mother, wife and three chill
dren, were murdered last night by Rich
ard Klattke, Lskeview carpenter, who
completed his bloody work by killing
himself.
The dead are Richard Klattke, car
penter, 4S years old; Kate Klattke, wife;
John Klattke, father, 70; Nina Wilhsl-
mine, mother-in-lsw, n; Nina Klattke,
daughter, 9; Anna Klsttke, daughter, 8;
Emma Klsttke, daughter, z.
The members of the Klattke family
we're found dead early this morning in
their little cottage, 207 Bersaku avenue,
two blocks from Cuyler station, suburb
on the Chicago & Northern road, by
Mathew Brown, saloon keeper, who
called to secure the services OF a carpen-
ter. Each Of the seven corpses had bull
let wounds in the head and death to all
was evidently instantaneous Klattke first
chloformed the whole family and then,
taking deliberate aim, he put bullet
into the brain Of each. Everything
pointed to deliberately planned mur-
der by the head Of the family, who de-
sired to place himself and family beyond
any further earthly troubles.
Klattke was despondent and his
family were cold and hungry. Since
Christmas he has been out of work and
ended-his troubles just as relief. hove in
sight. This morning his next door
neighbor, Adolph Schmidt, called at the
cottage with the joyful news that he
had found a job for Klsttke. At the
time Matt Brown arrived on the same
errand. Close examination of the re-
mains showed one of the victims alone
had any warning of her fate, and this
was Mrs. Klattke, wife of the murderer.
lShe, it appears, struggled with her
husband before the fatal shot was fired,
as her hands were scratched and her
clothing torn. She evidently had been
overpowered and thrown on the bed
} beside the dead body of her little seven
year old daughter, Emma.
