held and accordingly a jury was i'm
panneled and an inquest held during
the forenoon. The verdict was that
VIM. and Cora Wolff had been shot
and killed by a revolver in the hands
of Edward Corey and that the said
Edward Corey met death by his own
hand. >.~a.-...
It seems clear that young Corey
was actuated to commit the crime by
desperate love for the girl. It ap-
pears he became infatuated with her
some time ago and, although she tried
repeatedly to avoid him, he continued
to force his attentions upon her.
They were reared in the same neigh
borhood and saw much Of each other
but it appears she never encouraged
him in his wooing o.: returned his af-
lection. While attending school at
! Mankato last winter she received a
visit from him and at that time she
gave him to understand that she did
not regard him as lover. On the
day before the murder he had pre-
pared to leave town, intending to go
to Montevideo where he was offered
position. He left his fathers home,
two miles south Of town, in the morn
ing and after coming to town called
at the Wolff home, presumably to say
good bye to Miss Cora. She refused
to see him and Mr.. Wolff ordered
him away. Whether he made any
: threats at that time is not known for
certainty but his actions were such
as to alarm Miss Wolff, for shortly
afterward she went to see Sheriff
Wick and Informed him that she was
afraid Ed would do her harm. Mr..
Wick hunted up Ed who was still in
town and advised him to stay away
from the Wolff place, and threatened
!; him with arrest if he should repeat
his visits there. Ed promised to do
as advised saying that he intended
leaving town that day. He did leave
but it appears he went to Hector
where he remained during the after
noon boarding the westbound even
ing passenger train. 1t is supposed
he came as far as Bird Island, as he
is reported to have been seen at both
Hector and Bird Island that evening
and that he walked from Bird Island
here during the night. Upon arriv-
ing at the Wolff home he took off his
shoes, leaving them on the porch, and
by means Of a key which he had Sc
cured in some way, he gained en-
trance to the house. just what his
intention was in going into the house,
of course cannot be known, but it is
altogether likely that his mad love
for the girl rendered him temporarily
insane and that his only thought was
to do away with her. The killing of
Mr.. Wolff was necessary for the ac-
complishment Of the purpose in mind,
land the suicide was probably an af-
ter thought"
! Both the Wolff and Corey families
are old and respected families of
Olivia. Mr.. Wolff was 62 years old
and has lived at or near Olivia since
1877. The murdered daughter, Cora,
was only II years old last May, and
was an accomplished girl. The MUIR
derer and suicide, Edward Corey, was
"a years old and was a native OF
Beaver Falls. He has been at home
all his life and has not before been
charged with any offense. His father
is a man Of generous and noble i'm
pulses, and the shocking crime has
crushed and Inundated him beyond
; measure. The funerals Of the VIC
tims were largely attended.

sation of Renville county. August
Edward Corey, maddened by unre-
Quilted love, shot and killed William
Wolff and his daughter, Cora, and
then ended his own ruined life.
The Olivia Times contained the fol-
lowing story of the hideous crime:
"About one o'clock Saturday
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Wolff were
awakened by the cries Of their daugh-
ter, Cora who occupied an adjoining
room upstairs. The girl called her
father, saying, "Come quick, Ed is in
my ROOM" The mothers first thought
was that her daughter had been
frightened by some hideous dream,
and she proceeded to light the lamp,
while Mr.. Wolff ran to the girls as
sistance. Just as he entered the bed
room Mrs. Wolff heard the report Of
a revolver, and she ran down stairs
and out Of the house to the sheriff's
residence two blocks away. She
awakened Sheriff Wick not knowing
at the time that her husband was
dead. Sheriff Wick called up Marshal
Sherin and together they hurried to
the Wolff residence. Upon arriving
at the bedroom Mr.. Sherin pushed
open the door short way and called
to young Corey to come out. The
room was dark and the Marshal was
unable to see any one inside. As he
called, two shots rang out in rapid
succession. and thinking that the man
inside was shooting at him, Sherin
closed the door and retreated a few
steps. Presently as every thing be-
came quiet he again approached the
door and forced his way into the
room, followed by Sheriff Wick. AS
they entered the bedroom they
beheld the three bodies, all dead.
Mr.. VOLTS body was lying near the
door where he was shot down as he
entered the room, that of Cora at the
other end of the room, and across her
body lay the body Of Ed. Corey. The
officers at once summoned, Drs. Mesk-
er and Hymer who hurried to the
scene Of the shooting, but could de-
tect no sign of life in any Of the VIC
tins. Mrs. Wolff, who accompanied
the officers and Fred Vickstrom,
night clerk at the Grand Central, to
the house, became frantic with grief
when she discovered the dead bodies
and her condition required the imme-
date attention Of the doctors. She
was taken to the VIM. Buethe home
and cared for in every way possible.
An auto livery was sent to Hector
for Coroner D'Arms, who arrived
here shortly before four o'clock. The
coroner, together with Drs. >Meske1
and Hymer, made an examination of
the bodies and located seven bullets
Three Of these were in the body OF
VIM. Wolff, one in the leg, another in
the neck and the third, that caused
his death, entered his left side under
the arm. In the body Of Cora there
were two bullets, one through the
neck, and the other through the body
entering under the arm. In committing
suicide Corey shot himself twice in
the breast, the first bullet glancine
on one side of his ribs and the Other
proving fatal. The revolver was 81
calibre, five chamber, and when founi
contained three cartridges, showing
that it had been reloaded in thu
room. A box of cartridges was fount
containing 80 shells. The coroner
decided that an inquest should b.
