Des Moines, Nov. 24.-Mrs. William
McWilliams and her five children,
ranging from to 16 years of age, were
found murdered this afternoon at their
farm home six miles south OF hide
pendence. Iowa The husband and
father. William McWilliams, is now
under arrest at Independence, charged
with the crime. He denies the charge.
Evidently the mother had been killed
while preparing a meal, for when the
bodies We're found food was on the
stove cooking. She had been killed by
blows of a hammer, her skull being
terribly crushed. then she had been
savagely hacked with a knife After
her murder the children had evidently
been called in one by one and muir
dered in a similar manner, for all wore
clothing that indicated that they had
been at work on the farm just before
their death The baby, not years old,
when found still wore hood and nit
tens and had in its hand piece of
buttered bread. One blow of the ham
mer had sufficed for it, and then the
murderer laid it in IT'S mothers arms.
The only evidence of a struggle was
found in injuries sustained by the To-
year-old daughter, whose hands We're

Springfield. Mass. Nov. 24.-George
Edward Adams, cashier of the United
States assay office at Seattle. who was
arrested yesterday on the charge of
stealing $4,000 in gold. was at one time
cashier of the Seattle agency of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life company,
the headquarters of which are i'm this
city. President John A Hall of the
company said tonight that the officials
OF the home office had never met Ad-
ans, although the latter is said 10 be
a native of this city. President Hall
states that nine or ten years ago Adj
ans had some business difficulties out
side of his insurance business in Seat
tie and disappeared for a time. A
search of his books by the companys
examiners revealed a shortage in his
accounts of about $500. This deficiency
was paid by an indemnity company,
and since that time President Hall has
heard but little of the former cashier.

y ments in the arrest of George Ed
ward Adams, cashier in the Unit
ed States assay office here, for embez-
element, indicate that instead Of steal
ing $685. 900 in gold dust, to which he
confessed. his populations may amount
close to $200. 600. and that instead of
covering a period of six months they
will run farther back than 1908.
Adams bOndsmen today withdrew
from the 5000 bond given last night
and Adams was remanded to Jail to
await preliminary hearing.
Federal officers learned today that in
1897 Adams was involved in a shortage
of almost $4,000. He was then the
state cashier for the Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance company.
Friends of Adams reimbursed the COM
pany and Adams was not prosecuted.
Fred A. Wing, now superintendent of
the assay office, was then state agent
for the insurance company. With d full
knowledge of these facts, Wing placed
Adams i'm the assay office, believing, he
said, that Adams had thoroughly re-
pented of his indiscretion and that in
the future he would be honest.
SoeNeGdi AidShd men nave already III
formed the federal officials that they
have been defrauded by someone in the
assay office. One man declares that
out OF $4,000 in gold dust deposited
there, only $500 was returned TO him.
Friends of the family have not dared
to inform Mrs. Adams of her husbands
trouble. for she is very i'll and the news
might kill her. Mrs. Adams was Miss
Emily Clary, a well known society
girl. A few days ago she became
mother.
