cation Benjamin fired four shots at
Frederick without any of them taking
effect. Frederick fed to the attic of
the farmhouse and was followed into
the house by
The Enraged Brother.
The latter secured a Winchester re-
peating rifle, and as he was leaving the
house he encountered another brother,
Louis, at the kitchen door. Without a
word of warning Benjamin fired at
Louis, the bullet striking him in the
side. The victim fell unconscious and
died in half an hour without uttering
a word.
The murderer then walked down a
path and caught a glimpse Of Fred
