A kAnsAh's AWFUL CRIME
Murders His Five Children and
Attempts to Burn the
Bodies.

Hutchinson. Ram March a3.-.An
atrocious crime was revealed here
when the coroner and his assistants
removed the dead bodies of five little
children from the house occupied by
John Moore, which burned at an early
hour Sunday. A coroner's jury inves-
tigated the case. and in accordance
with the jury's recommendations
Moore, the father OF the dead children,
was arrested on a charge of murder.
The tragedy has caused much excite
ment here, and there is some talk of
lynching the prisoner. However, a
ynching is not looked for
When the firemen and neighbors
coached the burning house the father
was the only member of the family of
seven found outside. His actions were
queer and he would not talk. While
the building was still burning and his
children within the burning walls he
took a horse from his stable and rode
away.
When the firemen entered the house
nfter having partly qucnched the
flames, they found the five children
lying side by side in a bed on the
foor, all dead, but not badly burned.
The dead We're: Carl, aged 10; Mary,
aged 10; Pearl, aged s; Charles, aged
z; and Lee, aged 3 years.
The coroner's autopsy developed
convincing evidence of an awful crime.
The skull of each child was deeply in
denied, and from the dents long frac-
lures extended. All but one of the
children had been stabbed in the neck.
The throat of the little 3-year-old boy
had been slashed SO deep that the
spinal column had been severed.
Ii was upon these facts and the
strange behavior OF the father that
the authorities base their charge of
murder.
When Moore was called before the
coroner's jury to testify he pretended
TO believe that an exploding lamp had
caused the fire and that his children
met death i'm the flames He testified
that he was awakened from a deep
sleep by the smoke and that lie found
the house afire all over. II was fifteen
minutes, he said. before he recovered
his senses and then he did not try to
save his children, because he knew
they must be dead. as the fire had
started in the room i'm which they were
sleeping. His riding away from the
fire he explained by stating that his
wife was away from home attending
a sick friend and that he went to tell
her of their loss.
Moore showed little concern when
the jury returned the verdict charg-
ing him with murder.
The family came here from Emporia
about three weeks ago and rented the
little two-story house in which the
tragedy occurred. Mrs. Nfoore's fa.
Their, II. w. Franklin, whose family
came here from Emporia about the
same time, stated that Moore had al
ways been a silent, morose character.
but that he appeared to have great
ambition for his children. OF late, acs
eording to Mr.. Franklin, Moore has
brooded over the fact that he was out
Of work. and the father-in-law seems
TO think that il Moore committed the
crime he must have lost his reason
brooding over his troubles.
Moore, however, seems to be sane,
and outside of his actions during the
fire there has been nothing to bear
cut the insanity theory.

EXPLOSION IN PARIS.

partment-.Ohicial Explanation.
Paris, March 23-The series of ex-
plosions in government ammunition
depots which commenced with the ter
rible disaster at La Goubran, near Tou-
Ion, followed on Saturday with explo-
sions at Bourges and Marseilles, was
continued last evening when an alarm
ing explosion occurred in laboratory
of explosives attached to the war de-
partment. where experiments were be-
ing made with new kind of gun
powder.
All the windows in the neighborhood
were smashed and considerable other
damage was done.
According to an official statement
regarding the explosion it occurred in
the course of experiments in mixing
gases intended to light railway cars.
Another account says it was due to
experiments made for the purpose of
ascertaining the cause of the Toulon
and Bonrges explosions by mixing diff
ferent kinds of powders and that it
shows that the Toulon catastrophe
was the result of carelessness.
Seven persons were injured, three of
them seriously. by last nights eNplo.

San Francisco. Cal. March 22.-The
Call is informed that the frequent fail
urc of letters from the United States
to reach the Klondike is largely due to
the fact that contractors who bar
gained to carry postal matter from
Skaguay to Dawson refuse to handle
any mail which does not bear the Ca
madam postage. 1t is alleged that mail
matter from the United States is
thrown aside when it leaves the steam
er, and ut the present time it is said
about twenty tons of mail matter
bearing American stamps is piled up
in heaps at Skaguay.
