A BIG REWARD
Murderer Of Meadows
Family at Hurley Va.
Unusual Brutality Evident in
Perpetrating the Crime.
Rochester, N. T., Hungarian Kills
His Wife...He Is Captured.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 2S-As slim
illus to officers and detectives to put
forth every effort to secure the appre-
hension of the perpetrators of the
crime committed at Hurley, Va, where
last Wednesday George Meadows, his
wife, three children and mother in law
Mrs. Justis, We're brutally murdered
Gov. Swanson has sanctioned the Of
fer Of reward of $3.50 or the arrest
and conviction Of the person or per
sons guilty and the board of superVi-
sors of Buchanan county will offer
$500, which will be supplemented by
private subscription fund, estimated
at $4,000
Details of the terrible crime which
has been received here, are revolving.
At the scene of the seXtuple murder
We're found only the skull and other
bones and a few charred remains OF
the bodies which had been burned in
the Meadows home.
From appearances the head Of
Mrs. Justis, the mother of Mrs. Mea
doWs. had been cut off with an axe and
then split crosswise. The head was
found lying two or three feet from the
DbuE. II appeared also tlldt tilt Ilcottl
of one of the other victims had been
severed from the body.
The little 2-year-old Meadows child
had craWled from the house or else had
been carried out by its father and in
attempting to enter again had been
burned Meadows, it was found, had
been shot twice, both bullets eWering
the right side.
1t was evident that he was dressing
when he ran from the house and the
presence of q lead pencil in his hand
indicated that he had attempted 20
make some memorandum of the crime
and possibly inscribe the names of its
perpetrators before meeting his death.
No details of the progress of the
hunt for the assassins have come out
of Hurley for a couple of days because
+ it's inaccessiblity for wire com
,nication.
