Electric Chair Claims the
Murderer Of Three.
IN THE Pen ANNEX.
Dayton Doctor Who was Convicted
Of Killing His Parents land a
Brother Is IIeCtrOCuted.

[ Columbus, o., April 10.--Dr. Oliver
c. Haugh, the Dayton physician, was
electrocuted early this morning for
the murder of his parents and broth.
er. He manifested an apparent indif.
ference to his fate. All visitors were
excluded from the annex at the pent
tentiary Thursday and Haugh saw no
one outside Of the prison officials ex.
cent Father Kelley, his spiritual ad.
wiser
DR.. Haugh never admitted the crime
for which he was sentenced to death.
He never discussed 1t, so his attend.
ants say, after he entered the annex.
He is reported, however, to have pro.
tested his innocence.
The murder of his parents and
brother occurred on the night Of No.
vember 4, 1905. The house In which
the Haughs lived at Dayton was
burned and when search of the ruins
was made the bodies of the elder
Haugh, his wife and son were found.
All circumstances indicated that the
family had been murdered and tho
house burned to conceal the crime.
DR.. Haugh claimed he had barely es.
capped from the house with his life,
and though he denied that he had
committed any crime, suspicion point.
cd toward him and after his arrest a
strong circumstantial case was made.
His defense was insanity, but he was
legally declared to be sane. 1t was
brought out, however, that he was ad-
dicted to the use of a subtle drug
known as Observation-Disclosures
Later attempts were made to con.
meet him with the murder OF several
women at Cincinnati who were mys.
teriously strangled.
He was also said to be involved with
Mary Twohey, who died under sus.
picious circumstances at Lorain. and
with Mrs. Annie Patterson, who died
mysteriously at Chicago. Haugh was
married and his wife, now divorced,
and two children are living in Dayton.
During the early part of the night a
break in the machinery at the Co
lumbus public service plant threw the
big prison into temporary darkness
The break did not interfere with the
electrocution in any way. however, as
the current for that purpose Is sup
piled by the prison dynamo.
