MURDERED IN BED
MRS. lNcE AND HER THREE c4EL
pREN KILLED WITH AN Ak.
HUSBAND AND FATHER IS ACCUSEE
But Denies All Knowledge Of the Foul
Crime Gives Himself Up to oflcers
Who Force Him to View the chastIy
Scene, and Try to Effort confss
sion From Him.

S
Danville, Ark, March GA most
shocking crime was committed last
night near BriggsvilIe, fifteen miles
southwest Of here. Mrs. James Ince
and her three children were murdered
in their beds, their heads having been
split open with an ak.
The news reached DanVille this
morning at 10:30 o'clock, when James
Ince, the husband and father of the
murdered woman and children, walked
into the law Office of Priddy & Chal
mers and inquired if Sheriff Briggs
was in town. Upon being informed
that the sheriff was out of town, he
unfolded his tale of horror to A.. B.
Priddy. He stated that someone had
come to his house during the night
and murdered his wife and children;
that he knew nothing of the crime
until he awoke this morning; that he
did not give any alarm because he
and his wife had previously had some
trouble, and he knew the neighbors
would accuse him of the crime and,
perhaps deal roughly with him. For
that reason he had walked to Danville
in order to get some advice about
their murder
Mr.. Priddy advised him to surren-
der, and took him and turned him over
to Jailer Vosburg, who locked him up
pending further development
Later advices from Briggsville say
that the crime was not discovered until
about 10 O'Clock. Neighbors seeing
no signs of life about the place, went
to see what was wrong, and found the
doors and windows fastened. They
forced an entrance, and CHASTITY sight
was their reward. There on the bed
lay the mother, and beside her was
her Oldest child, a girl years old, and
her infant babe, only months old,
all with their heads split open, and on
the other bed lay 2-year-old boy, with
his head almost severed from his body.
An inquest was held and the verdict
of the jury was that the mother and
children had come to their deaths at
the hands of James Ince, the husband
and father.
Deputy Sheriff Tatum, who was In
that section, came over this afternoon
and took Ince back to Briggsville to,
have the preliminary trial He stated
that there was considerable excite
ment and bad feeling against Ince, but
that they had all promised to protect
him if he was brought back. He
stated that it was the intention to take
Ince to his home, put him in the same
room with the murdered woman and
children, whose bodies were left just.
as they were found, and see If Ince
would not make a confession.

One reason why Peruna has found per-

contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
