The mania to destroy must have seized Drnham early in the evening, for from the fart that the bodies of the women were cSA1 when found, it is surmised that they must have been killed an hour or twn before the return of the men. Dunham employed various methods in the Kill ing. His wife, with whom he had an- panently lived happily, was strangled land her clothes were found crowded
 down her throat. Minnie Shelters skull was split open with an axe ana l her Clothes stuffed in her throat.
