trials in the criminal history of
Central Illinois.
Sam Moser, a former member of

peculiar religious fanaticism-the
driving to quadruple murder of
man who dared TO love his wife
and children in violation of one of
the prime tenets of the sect to
which he belonged and for which
he was banished from the church.
On the night of May 10, driven
almost insane by his expulsion,
Moser shot down in cold blood his
wife and three young sons. Mrs.
Moser was killed as she was pre-
pairing a meal. After the fatal
shot was fred the murderer knelt
by his dead wife's side and prayed.
He called in his two sons one at a
time, and shot them down and
then murdered his 9-months old
baby in its crib. He laid the bod
les out in his humble parlor and
wrote this note;

York: Inform the postmaster at
