the alarm to neighbors an hour later.

a quiet, inoffensive boy and are at
loss to account for a motive.
Bureau drawers in the house had
been ransacked and pocketbooks
opened, but small sums of money
found on the persons of both the faith
er and dead brother and the watch
worn by the latter had not been
touched.
