MURDERED HER OFFSPRING
Massachusetts Woman Kills Her Six Chill

Cold Brook, Mass, March 23.-For
no reason which she is able to give,
but presumably while temporarily in
sane, Mrs. Lizzie Naramore locked the
doors of her farmhouse home near this
village and brutally chopped her six
children to death. Then she cut her
own throat with razor but did not
succeed in wounding herself fatally.
The deed was done in the most cold
blooded way, after apparently care
full preparations. She was rational at
night, and expressed sorrow for what
she had done. She was perfectly ra-
tional. too, and acting in her usual
way early in the morning, when her
husband, Frank Naramore, left his
home to go to his work in a sawmill.
There were three boys and three
girls in the Naramore family, ranging
in age from Ethel, the eldest, 10 years
old, down to Lena. baby girl of 10
months. The others We're named
Walter, Charlie, Chester and Bessie.
An AK and club were used in the muir
ders. and all of the children were hor-
ribly beaten about the head with many
blows, anyone of which would have
killed.

MEANS IMPEACHMENT FAILURE
Severe Setback for the Prosecution in the
south Carolina Cases.

Raleigh, n. c., March 22.-A ruling
made in the impeachment cases of the
supreme court justices is believed to
make certain the failure of the prose
cution. The latter offered to prove by
the state treasurer that there was no
money of the special oyster fund in the
treasury when the White claim was
paid. The defense objected because
this was new matter and it was ruled
out 1t was necessary TO prove this
fact to make out the case for the pros
ecution.
The evidence for the justices was
concluded and the prosecution began
its reply. Justice Montgomery of the
supreme court, for the defense, scored
Justice Clark and denounced him as be
ing wholly responsible for the I'M
parchment proceedings.

during the past ten years periodic
spells of shifting from dairying to

result that in the effort to breed to

are no good for feeders and crossing
