choked her, he placed his knee on her

in her attempt to save her life had both
hands gashed, the left thumb being cut
and the ball of the middle finger OF the

Pittsburg, (SpeciaD "A ghastly dis
covery was made here, when some
neighbors, hearing cries coming from
the residence of Vinenzo Visolek, Pole,
broke open the doors and found the bed
room of the house saturated with blood.
Mrs. Vsolek lay beside her bed, her
face and head almost crushed beyond
recognition, dead. Three little children
lying on the floor had their heads and
bodies covered with cuts and gashes,
and the husband and father himself, al
most dead, lay near them.
From what could be learned OF the
tragedy it appears that Visolek came
home intoxicated and assaulted his wife
with a rail-cutter The first blow in
flicted an ugly cash on her shoulders and
knocked her down, but she was on her
feet again in an instant, and with such
weapons as she could find in the room,
defended herself.
The three children were asleep in one
of the beds, and the brutal father, an
gered at his wife, rushed to the bed and
rained blow after blow upon the sleep
ing little ones. The sharp edge of the
cutter hacked the children in frightful
manner, and the hospital physicians say
there is very little hope Of their recovery.
The attack on the children infuriated
the wife, and with knife in each hand
she sprang at her husband and stabbed
him number of times. He managed to
get in several blows during the close bat
tie, and seeing that she was getting
weak, he gave her a shove. AS she stag
gered back he brought the cutter down
on her skull with all his force, crushing
her skull She fell to the floor dead
By the time he had killed his wife vi
soles was exhausted. He sank on the
floor and lay there throughout the night,
unable to move The means of the chill
dren, and the crying of one of them was
what attracted the attention of the
neighbors Developments add mystery
10 the tragedy. Three Poles who were
boarders in the Visolek house are under
arrest, and the police are securing the
city for John Okensk who was also a
boarder, but who has not been seen
since the murder was discovered.
