ing grand larceny.
The specific case on which the pro-
jector OF the famous Cioldsboro eXpedi-

ulently obtained sl.726 from the Key
stone Driller Company. According to
the Indictment. after Bailey and his
brother, Francis G. Bailey, had organ
lied the Export Shipping Company they
went to the office of the Keystone
Driller Company and presented what
purported to be an order from the Cen
eral Supply Company OF Australia for

ladng was forged to make it appear
that the machinery had been put aboard

Bailey was arrested i'll Honduras by
Lieut. Detective Peter Berry. His

CRAZY, HE KILLS
TWO DAUGHTERS;
SHOOTS UP TOWN
Street Crowd Overpowers
Massachusetts, Man Who
Suddenly Goes Insane.

WAKEFIELD, Mass. Dec. s.-Becom-
inv suddenly insane, Hiram L. Badger,
resident of this town, to-day killed
his two daughters. Florence, aged If
teen. and Catherine. aged seven. and
then ran amuck through the town.
shooting at persons he met on the street
and firing into the windows OF the
stores that he passed. During his mad
rush down Main street he shot Fred
Wheeler, a grocer's clerk, in the leg.
and several of his bullets narrowly
missed other persons.
Badger was pursued by a crowd OF
townspeople, who finally captured him
and turned him over to the police.
From the nature Of the mans rawlings
at the police station the officers were Of
the opinion that his sudden madness
was due primarily to jealousy, and it
was related that a few days ago he
assaulted a man on an elevated railway
train in Boston.
Badger and his family lived In house
in the rear of No. S65 Main street. After
the maniac had been placet in a cell the
police visited his home. AS they en-
tered a sleeping room they found two
bodies on the bed Because of the hor-
rible way in which the heads had been
beaten in, making the faces unrecog-
nizable, it was at first supposed that
one of the victims was Badgers wife.
but a closer investigation showed that
il was the elder daughter. Florence
After crushing in his children's heads
Badger had cut their threats.
A search for Mrs. Badger was then
begun, but she could not be found. and
IT was learned afterward that she was
away on visit. Her whereabouts. how
ever were not known.
Badger is a gardener and about forty
years old.
