The man ignored his wife complete
ly and at first doubtei that the body
of the little girl was his child.
AThat Isn't My Child"
"My God, that isn't my child" he
exclaimed. my girls got lighter hair
than that"
In moment he was convinced that
the child was his.
'It must have been an enemy of

ham. at couldn't have been an enemy

That Burnham seemed to show no
especial emotion over his wife is puz-
zling the officers. Assistant District
Attorney NJ. NJ. Burns is not certain,
however, that it was stoicism on Burn
hams part, and is inclined to think
that the man may have been too stun

about years old, and Mrs. A. J.
Burnam and her two children. girl

dered in their home here about 2
O'Clock this afternoon by Mrs. Bur-

The bodies OF the waynes lay in

In their house on Harrison street, i'm

The heads OF all the victims were
split open with an axe.
Murdered While Asleep.
The murders took place evidently
while the victims were asleep.
A. J. Burnam, the only surviving
members of the two families. who is
a cook at the Modern woodman san
atorium, nine miles north of here,
was notified by phone that there was
trouble in his home and started for
this city. Officers went out in auto
biles to meet him and he will be TAX
en- into custody.
Families Were Friends.
Wayne was formerly an inmate OF
the sanatorium and came back here
only three weeks ago from Indiana.

came here from New York eight years

and were together Sunday afternoon
and evening.

daughter never had any trouble. l
do not believe that he had anything
TO do with such a crime. They have
always lived happily and he is good
man."
Although they have absolutely no
clue to the murderer. and have no
reason to suspect Burnham Of the
deed, the officers have taken him in
custody and he will be held as wit
ness at least. Burnham had been a
steady empioye at the sanatorium for
two years, and previous to that time
was employed for some time as a
cook at fuckers restaurant. Mrs
Ruth, sister of his dead wife, substan-
tiates the mother-in-law's statement
that the couple never had any trouble
and that Burnham has been good
father and husband. All his people
live in Michigan and he has no blood
