it is believed that the murderer slew
his victims with a shotgun. as several

rooms where the atrocious crimes were
committed,

the farm adjoining that of the Shep-
herds. At about o'clock Joe, the
Polish farmland, appeared and told
Wall that he had found Shepherd lying
murdered in the kitchen of his home.
Friend Finds Shepherd.
Greatly agitated, Wall ran across
fields to the Shepherd farmhouse in
company with the Pole. He was hor-
rified to find his friend lying dead
where Joe had told him.
Then Wall and the Pole began
searching the house for the other oc-
cupants.
First they came across Mrs. shep-
herd. lying with stark, staring, ter
ror-strlcken eyes in pool of blood.
Nesting close to her was her baby
girl Muriel
Still further the searchers went. The

room of the Bendy girl. There the
pretty young domestic lay slain as she
