MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Another Report Would Ex~lain the
Horrid Mystery in This Way.
(By the Associated Press. }

Columbia S. c.. Dec. S.-7B. b,
Hughes, aged AZ years. his Wife Eva
about the same age and two daugh-
tiers, Emily and Patt1e, 10 and 10
years old. respectively, constituting an
entire family are dead at Trenton.
Edgefield county, and nothing remains
to explain the mystery of the tragedy.
Citizens of the town were aroused
at o'clock this morning by, fire
at the Hughes house and upon reach
ing the scene the flames had gained
such Roadway that it was impossible
to enter the burning building and not
until the fire had burned itself out and
the walls had collapsed was 1t dis
covered that the family were dead
The bodies of the two young ladies
were found in their bed with the
heads of both crushed in The body
of Mrs. Hughes was found in room
across the hall. Her head was also
crushed with a --illoW over it, while
Hughes lay near the door with a bull
let wound through the left temple. A
pistol with one empty chamber lay
near his right hand.

was Hughes the Criminal?

Hughes was a merchant and farm
er, supposed to be prosperous. There
is no reason why he should have been
murdered, as he was on good terms
with the white and colored people of
the community. The surrounding
conditions all point strongly to Hughes
as the murderer of his entire family
and to his subsequent suicide.
Bloodhounds were brought to the
scene but could find no trail, and in
the absence of a motive those who
held to the theory of murder could not
solve the mystery.
There was no sion that anybody had
left the house after the fire started.
The charred remains were placed in
collins and taken this afternoon to the
Baptist church of the village where
tomorrow a quadruple funeral will be
held.
The town is quiet.
