FATHER KILLS
UNBORN CHILD
FORMER CEDAR RAPIDS MAN
WHO ATTEMPTED TO KILL
WIFE MURDERS INFANT

Cedar Rapids, June 11.-(SpeciaD-
! G. w. Layton, who shot his wife and
! killed himself at Springfield, Mo-, was
formerly piano salesman travelling
out Of here. The particulars of the
tragedy disclose the horrible deed of
father numbering his unborn child.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Layton were quite
we'll known and had many friends in
this city.
Layton died instantly as the result
Of the shooting Of himself. But his
wife lived One of the two bullets he
fired a" her lodged just above the
heart and the other in the abdomen.
Mrs. Layton was at once removed
to hospital in Springfield. where she
gave birth to a child, in whose brain
was found the bullets it's own father
had fred.
Word from Springfield conveys the
news that Mrs. Layton Is getting
along nicely and will doubtless sur
vive the attempt made on her life.
Layton conducted piano store at
Grundy Center and 1t was there that
he met and married his wife. She
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Rockwell of Gladbrook.
1t was said that Layton was cruel to
his wife and that she was forced q
few months ago to leave him. With
her parents she moved to this city and
lived for short time on North Fifth
street About six weeks ago they
moved to Springfield, where Mr.. Rock
we'll, father of Mrs. Layton. had pur-
chased a fruit farm. Every effort was
made to keep their address from Lay
ton, but in some manner he secured 1t.
Two weeks ago Wednesday Layton
went to real estate dealer in Spring
field and told him that he wanted to
buy the farm the Rockwells had set
tied on, saying that he would pay a
certain price and give the dealer
5000 commission. The real estate man
agreed to drive out to the place and
Layton accompanied him to a spot
near the farm, where he got out after
advising the real estate man to get
Roc ',we'l away from the house before
talking business to him, claiming that
if Rockwell knew that he Nayton)
wanted the place he would not sell, be-
cause they mad had trouble
Layton's plans worked out admir-
ably. When he saw Rockwell and the
real estate man leave the house he
went in. He asked his wife if she was
willing to return to him, which she re-
fused to do, when he said she could
take her choice, go with him or be
killed. Mrs. Rockwell ran out of the
house and screamed for help, which
soon came in the form of several arm
ed men. Layton stood them off, after
having given his wife ten minutes in
which to make up her mind to go,
away with him. At the end of eight
she again refused, when Lay
ton fired upon her twice, then he turn
ed the gun upon himself and fell dead.

MOTHER OF . CHILDREN BLIND
Terrible Case Of Destitutlon Near
Fairfield; Oldest Child Ten;
YOUNGEST q Months.

Fairfield, June 11.-One of the most
pitiful cases of poverty and destitu-
ton that has been found in the city
for many months Is that of William
Hines and family out In College addi-
ton. The woman is blind and the
mother of nine children, the Oldest
being ten years of age and the young
est four months. The husband has
secured employment in the Raney
brick yard, but his modest wages are
not suflcient to cope with the present
high cost Of living. The little ones
are barely covered with clothing and
there is little in the way Of house
furnishings or home comforts. The
mother without her sight is unable to
care for the house or the children and
the conditions may be better imagined
than described. The woman lost her
sight following the birth of her last
child. It has not been determined as
yet whether the case is hopeless one
or not. The case was reported some
days ago to the city authorities and
was referred to the commissioner Of
the poor and City Marshal Shan
Campbell went down to look into the
matter. On his return he circulated
about among the men on the street
and secured funds to meet the i'm
mediate needs of the family.
