Seattle, Wash, Dec. 7.-William Seaton.
aged % years. formerly of Decatur, H.,
attempted TO exterminate an entire fami-
ly, his relatives. at South Park, nine
miles from Seattle, yesterday.
With an axe he smashed ia the heads
OF four people, leaving them for dead.
then shot one man in the back and at
tempted to kill a deputy sheriff. Before

twice. but not fatally, by Deputy Sheriff
Kelly.
The only one killed outright was Sea-
tons uncle. Daniel Richards.

hoped for. The other two victims were
Myrtle and Hazel Hapgood aged about 10
years, children OF former husband OF
Mrs. Clarke
The skulls OF the little ones were
crushed and then the bodies were thrown
into a manger in the barn. lt was sup
posed they were dead, but a late report
from the county hospital says that the
skull OF one OF the children had been
raised and there is hope of recovery. The
other child will undoubtedly die.

NO BREACH Of PROMISE,
Mr.. CORY DECLARES.
Defendant in Suit Brought by Miss
Clark for $4,000 Damages,
TeStifieS in His Own Behalf.

In the opinion OF DR.. King never since
that attack has the defendant Cory been
In a condition 10 marry.
Dr. King was bondsman for the ex-
ecutor OF Cory's fathers estate, and once
Miss Clark called 10 ask about Mr.. Cory 5
financial prospects. She was told by wit
ness that Mr. Cory had nothing in his
own name During the interview Miss
Clark said she would not marry Cory
only he had money.
On cross-ex animation witness said the
only reason he had given Miss Clark for
Mr.. Cory's being unfit 10 marry was his
dissipation. Witness was sure he told
Cory in the fall OF 1899 that he was unit
to marry. Cory remained confined to his
bed for three or four months from Nov.
18th or Nov. 26th. Marriage the witness
and defendant had talked over hundreds
of times
Once when Dr. King was health officer
some nine years before 1899 he talked par
ticularly about marriage and cautioned
Cory not to marry. The advice was given
because of a disease Mr.. Cory had long
suffered from.
CORY A WITNESS.
Job w. Cory told OF his first meeting
with plaintiff substantially as she had told
IL. Mr.. Cory also confirmed some state
ments about rides with Miss Clark. He
said he was So years OF age and was a
bookkeeper. but he had done reporting
for various papers. He denied he had
any property OF his own. He had got one
third OF hSs fathers personal property.
which did not amount TO much.
Speaking of the meeting on Exchange
place Mr.. Cory said he was looking at
the laying OF some pipes. when he heard
a lady's voice say. Amt this Mr.. Cory?"
Witness couldn't tell how many letters
he got from Miss Clark. He tore them all
up.
Asked IL he said anything TO Miss
Clark about writing 10 him. he said she
wanted him TO write her a long love let
ter witness didn't know what she want
ed the letter for but said. I'VE have 10
live and learn"
Mr.. Littleheid: How long did your af-
fection continue?"

ing Chicago. Pescatore took his money
out OF his pocket and began to count It
when each of the boys made grab at
II, and by very peculiar coincidence
each secured $40.
This money they did not keen very long.
for before they reached New York. for
which point they took train In Chicago.
Pescatore took the money forcibly from
them, and the Farguoli boy claims that
when he demonstrated Pescatorc smackad
his face and threatened TO choke him.
SHIPPED TO PROVIDENCE.
Wednesday morning, Paidini says, they
reached New York. and later In the day
Pescatore told them that he was going
TO send both OF them TO Providence the
Farguoli boy having lived here before go
ing 10 California.
He bought tickets for them on the boat.
and said that he would reach Providence
later on the day OF their arrival which
was yesterday, and would meet them In
the Italian colony.
The boys reached this city yesterday
morning. without a cent OF money, and
hung around Federal Hill until late In the
afternoon, when, on the advice OF an Ital-
ian storekceper, to whom they told their
story. they asked the policeman on the
beat for advice.
After hearing what they had to sav.
he advised them TO go and see the chief
OF police. and shortly after 4 o'clock they
called at police headquarters and related
the story as given above.
The boys were closely questioned, and
IL was noticeable that they displayed 4
remarkable lack OF memory on some
points.
SOME PECULIAR FACTS.
For instance they had hard work In
remembering the name Of the alleged safe
robber that brought them East Then
again they did not know where they went
TO in New York. and thore was some
uncertainty as TO the time they left SAN
Francisco.
Neither could they account for the pc
culiar fact that In grabbing the money
each boy secured $40 There were several
little things OF this kind. which made
the story sound trine improbable.
Chief Baker, after carefully listening
to the story. sent a dispatch to the chief
Of police OF San Francisco, stating the
main facts OF the case and asking FOR
Information. but up TO the present no
answer has been received.
The chief then sent the boys 20 the
charity building. placing them in charge
of Overseer OF the Poor Cummings. who
will look after them until something
definite Is learned. or their story is cor
roborated.

Claim Were Brought From San
Francisco by a Safe Robber
One Of the Boys, a Son Of the Victim.
Both Are Now Stranded in
This City.

IL was queer story, and one contain
ms soma elements of improbability that
TWO Italian boys told Chief OF Police
Baker and, while he listened to all they
said. the chief is inclined to accept some
parts of their statement with a grain of
salt.
The boys are Eugenio Paldini, aged IL
years. and FEDERICO Fargroli, aged IL
years, and they claim to hail from San
Francisco, Cal, which city they say they
left on November 2S last. having ar
rived in Providence yesterday morning.
The Paldini boy speaks fairly good Eng
iish, but FEDERICO knows nothing but his
native sweet Tuscan dialect. but he is
particularly bright little fellow, and. In
fact, seems TO be far more able 10 take
care OF himself than the older boy
The Paldini youth was the spokesman
but he frequently turned 10 Farguoli for
corroboration of what he stated. and the
little fellow invariably backed him up
with nod. evidently being chary OF his
words,
ROBBERY OF THE SAFE.
The boys were interviewed by News
man. and in their own language told their
more or less sensational story
Paldini said that he was the son Of
Achille Paldini, who keeps hotel at 702
Front street San Francisco while the
Farguoli boy is son OF Errico Farguoli.
who Is at present at Nevada Cal. bu the
boy lived in San Francisco with the Pal
dinis.
In the house boarded a certain Vincenzo
Pescatore, and according 10 the Paldini
boy. this Pescatore is a safe burglar.
The boy claims that on the morning OF
November 2S. the day before Thanksgiv-
ing, Pescatore. by means of a key that he
had made opened his (Paldinis) fathers
safe in the hotel office and took from IL
$500 in bills.
The boy saw the theft committed, he
says. but al the request OF Pescatore
promised not to tell his father, and I'm re-
turn Pescatore promised To take the boy
travelling. Paldini says that he requested
that the Farguoli boy be taken with
them.
EACH STOLE $40.
This was agreed TO. and the same
morning, before Paldini's father discov-
cred his loss. the trio left San Francisco.
and IL was understood that Pescatore
was TO take Farguoli 10 Nevada. Cal,
where the boys father is employed as a
labcrer on a new railway.
This agreement, Paldini says. was not
carried out and they Travelled in the
train until they reached Chicago, where
they tarIied only two or three hours.
Both boys say that just before reach
