known who used an axe, the bodies OF SIX
persons. three in each Of two neIghboring
houses were found here to-day. The
heads Of all the victims had been smashed
and the appearance Of the bodies indicated
that they had been dead several days
Death apparently came while they slept

The Burnham house is situated at Dale
street and Harrison Place. and the two
houses next 10 II on Dale street are vacant.
Directly I'M the rear is the Wayne home
ana close n II is that Of Evans. The dis
covery Of the bodies was made by neigh
hor who called AZ the Burnham home.
Not getting any response, she forced an
entrance. The bodies Of Mrs. Burnham
and those Of her two children were found
In their beds
The woman rushed % the street and gave
the alarm. lHstinctively a dozen persons
went 10 the Wayne house. where there
had been no signs OF life since Sunday. and
The same terrible scene was presented. IN
bed were the bodies of Mr. and Mrs Wayne
and their baby. all slain as were those IN
the Burnham house.
That such a crime had been committed
IN a thickly settled neighborhOod and left
unrevealed for three days is regarded as in
credible Not even a footprint is 20 oc
found on the floor Of either house and no
one could be found who had seen any one

employers say he was Al work when the
crime must have been committed. He is
native Of Michigan. He was last seen at
his home on Sunday afternoon. and is said
to have left there about o'clock.
Little is known of the Wayne family
here except that Wayne came 20 the Mod

ago from Indiana as a patient one month
ago his term iu the institution was up, and
he brought his wife and child to this city
and rented the house in which they were
