The blow struck near the center OF the iort-
head and ranged downward. TIE second
blow took cffec; also i'll the forehead and
ranged diagonaily across, indicating that
she was struck after failing to the floor.
The murderer then struck his five-ycar-
old girl with the axe, laying bare her BRAIN
Leaving his victims, Duckworth went into
another room and standing by the bed, cut
his throat with the duil blade OF an ordinary
pocket knife. Both jugular veins were sew

The little girl is yet alive, but her death is
expected at any hour.
The family consisted of DGckworth. his
wife who was about Ia become a mother,
and the twU lit lc girls. aged seven and five,
years respectively. The elder of the girls,
OH her return from Sunday school, was hor
