KILLED. HIS FAMILY.
Murders His Wife, His Son and
His Daughter.

Cincinnati, Jan. 29.-Charles Bartruff
is locked up at the Bremen street
police station charged with the MUIR
der OF his wife, five-year-old son and
a daughter three months old. The
prisoner seems to be either insane or
OF an order of intellect but little above
that of beast. The affair happened
about $3.50 o'clock Sunday, behind
locked doors, with no witnesses. When
the police broke into the room the
murderer stood in the center of the
floor, while near by lay the bodies of
his wife and the little boy, Carl. The
little daughter was not visible at first.
but tiny foot projecting from under
the stove revealed it's whereabouts.
Both children were dead. The mother,
was unconscious and never spoke. She
died at $3.50 o'clock Sunday afternoon;
The man had evidently contemplated
suicide and was bleeding from a
wound in his head, inflicted with a
glass jar which had served to slay the
wife. The stove was upset, ashes and
hot Goals were strewn about: What
caused or preceded the murders is not
known. The prisoner stolidly says
that he was attacked with one of his
spells because his wife slapped him
in the face. After that he remem-
bered nothing, he says, except that
"everything went round and round. :"
OF one thing there is no doubt. The
man first locked the door leading to
the apartments. Then he began the
work OF killing his family, using as
weapons leg of a chair, a clothes
iron and glass jar. The man resisted
arrest so violently that handouts were
fastened on him. The room was full
OF smoke and apparently Bartruf con-
templated cremation.

he has met with more serious re-

Spion kop. The London Times says
"the catastrophe is almost without pre-
cedent in our military history, and, in
deed, without parallel except the sur
render of Yorktown.
