ABOUT TO KILL
FOUR CHILDREN
Crazed Father Caught As He
Was Raising Ak.
Pole Had Led His Offspring To An
Isolated Spot-One Child stood
With CrucifiX In Hand Waiting
For Weapon To Descend When
Police Spring On Parent-Maniac
Fights Desperately.

Hartford, CT. Especially An in
sane father was prevented from
buchering his four little children, on
the banks of the Connecticut River,
by the timely arrival of the police.
When located back of the bushes,
his four boys were partly undressed
and were lined in a row. the maniac
father standing over them with the
uplifted axe. A boy of four was to
have been the first victim. The child
was standing beneath the shining
blade with a crucifix in one hand,
calmly awaiting its fate. The other,
under orders of the madman. were
terrified spectators. The father was
then taken to the police station and
locked in a padded cell. He is a
Pole-Valente Chongle. He had been
dispossessed by his landlord and the
occurrence made him desperate.
Chongle was heard to tell his chill
dren to prepare for their death, his
original plan being to throw them
into the river. Later he changed
his mind and decided to murder them
first and then make away with their
bodies in the swollen stream.
Like sheep, he led the quartet.
whose ages range from two to seven
years, to the isolated spot. where he
was traced.
The officers who prevented the
wholesale killing. said that their
hearts failed them as they beheld
the terrifying scene. Fearing that
the madman would crush the skull
of the boy he had before him should
their presence be detected. they crept
up from behind and overpowered
Chongle, who fought desperately.
The maniac disputed the right of the
officers to interfere with his plans
for making away with his children,
claiming that as their father he had
a right to do with them as he pleased.
