Farmer, Wife and Servant Shot
by RobberS-Farm Hand
Suspected.

Matawan, n. J., May 16.-William d.
and a former rough rider was found
murdered on his farm near here this
morning after mysterious warning
that his household would meet with a
violent death within two weeks. His
wife and Jennie Bendy, a servant. suf-
fered the same fate, but the Shepherd s
1-mOntns-Old baby was found sleeping
in her cradle, unframed. The entire
house had been ranSacked and every
thing of value had been taken. The
police have made one arrest in connec-
ton with the case, and another man
is said to be under police surveillance.
However, no direct charges have been
preferred, and a posse with blood
hounds is searching the country for the
assassins. A repeating shotgun was
apparently the means of the murders.
Found by Farm Hand.
Frank Zastera. a farmland, who had
been employed only two days on the
place, discovered the bodies shortly
after the shooting and gave the alarm
ZaStera is said to claim occult powers
and according TO statements of the vic
Tins friends, predicted in Shepherd s
presence that in two weeks time two
men would come to the farm and kill
every one on it.
Frank Crooks, who is held, was cap
tured this afternoon near Freehold and
is now in Jail at that place. Blood
stains were found on his clothing, but
Crooks, who is also d farmland, says
these came from killing chickens. The
stained garments will be sent to .
chemist for examination. and the pris-
he in
the result of the examination and OF
the inquest. which will be held next
Saturday afternoon.
The police are looking for a farm
hand who was employed on the Shep
herd farm until recently. He is said
to have quarreled with Shepherd, and
a man said to resemble him was seen
about the Shepherd place early today.
Zastera was brought to the county jail
at Freehold tonight and held as a wit
ness. He is said to have told conflicting
stories.
