his youngest child by the hair he
drew the razor across it's throat almost
severing the head from the body.
Frantic with terror, the other chill
dren fled from the room, followed by
Bouvier his face spattered and his
razor dripping with BLOOD. Cornering
the children in another part of the
house, the crazed father cut their
throats and left them dying on the
floor Clasping his CORY razor in one
hand and his revolver in the other, he
rushed from the house and ran to his
office In the counting room stood his
eldest daughter and the chief clerk.
When he leveled the revolver at the
defenseless girl the clerk sprang to-

through the chest. Leaping over the
PROSTATE body of the man, Bouvier
shot his daughter twice through the
head, killing her instantly. and then
placed the gun against his right tenn
