SLAIN, BODIES BURNED.
Shot Found in Skulls of Piatt
Brothers.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio. December 30
That Minor and Oliver Piatt, wealthy
bachelor brothers, We're murdered before
their bodies were burned in the destruc-
ton of their house Wednesday was made
apparent at the sheriffs investigation
yesterday.
Fifteen shot We're extracted from the
skull of one of the bodies and a number
of smaller shot from the skull of the
other. Blood spots on the ruins of a front
door stoop, a bloody butcher knife found
on door sill and empty shells found
nearby are among the points of evidence
supporting the theory that double muir
der was committed.
1t is probable that the authorities viii
make two arrests in connection with the
case within the next twenty-four hours.
