WOMAN COUNTED TEN.

And Sounded Death KnelI of Husband
at Hands of Robbers.
A special from Parkersburg, W. Va,
says: A posse Of officers, accompa-
MED by large number Of Infatuated
residents, are searching Calhoun
county for three masked robbers, who.
at an early hour Thursday morning,
shot to death Charles Berkshire, a
farmer living near Brooksville. after
inhumanly torturing his wife.
The family was aroused shortly af
ter midnight by the robbers, who, az
ter binding the wife, led the husband
to the center of the room, turned up
the lights and ordered Mrs. Berkshire
to count ten, stating that if her hus-
band did not tell them, where his
money was they would kill him on
the tenth count.
The couple insisted that they had
no money, and the outlaws pinched
and beat the woman and applied burn
ing matches to the soles Of her feet
Screaming in agony, Mrs. Berkshire
finally consented to count ten, and on
the tenth count a shot rang out and
her husband fell dead. The fiends,
becoming frightened, fed and it was
hours afterwards when neighbors
found the woman in such a pitiable
state of collapse that it is feared
she will die.
