key to the Wolff house, for that
morning he went to the Wolff place
while the family was asleep, removed
his shoes at the door and went into
the house and upstairs to Cora's
room.
The intruder's entrance to the
room caused the girl to scream, and
her father, who was sleeping down
stairs, responded quickly to her cry.
Murders The Father.
! AS Wolff entered the bed room,
Corey drew revolver and shot him
dead. Mrs. Wolff, who was the
only other member of the family at
home, then ran from the house to
Sheriff Vick's residence, two blocks
distant, and notified the sheriff.
Defied The Officers.
Wick and Marshall Sherin arrived
at the Wolff residence in a few min
utes, but when they attempted to
enter the bedroom, Corey threatened
to shoot. A moment later two more
shots were fired, and when officers
forced their way into the room they
