turned home about 11.30. O'Clock.
From this time on / hung around
the house until about three O'Clock
when | went to the brook and re-
turning shortly afterwards found
my sister lying dead downstairs and
my mother shot to death on the up
per floor.
Fearing that there might be
robbers around / thought it would
be best to put my grandfather in a
closet, but this he refused to do.
then took the rife and went out to
seek the murderer"
Several times during this story,
which was brought. out by questions
from the States attorney, the boy is
said to have contradicted himself.
An investigation of the house dis
closed his room to be a small ar
senal. 1t was rugged out with all
sorts of guns and revolvers. Mr..
Sweet, who is 1913 year old, was
in a state of nervous collapse, but he
partially confirmed the boys story.
There were only these two in the
house at the time of the murder and
the old man says he heard shots,
three of them, and then shortly
afterwards Arthur came rushing in
to his room and wanted to put him
in closet, but he refused to go, The
boy then took his rife and left the
house.
A possible motive for the crime has
been discovered. About a year ago
when the father died all the proper
ty including the farm, valued at
about $1,000 was lett to Arthur Dir
ectly after the will was probated, Mr.
Sweet put in his bill for services
which amounted to about $1,000 and
the farm was directly turned over
to his daughter. This had caused
great deal of trouble and there
had been wOrdy arguments over the
affair on several occasions.
