blew his brains out.
1t is doubtful If 1t ever will be
known what matamorphosed an ap-
parently harmless old man into q cold
blooded, relentless slayer. The why
and wherefore is locked In the breasts
of the murdered wife and son. And
the only known relative, sister Of
the dead woman. can give no sde-
quate reason. No notes were left
behind
Shortly before o'clock last night
Mrs. Walter Lippart. who resides in
the lower fiat at TIA Lapidge street,
went to the rear porch OF hor home
Her gaze became riveted on q small
pool of blood which rapidly was
widening from the steady drip from
the porch above her.
WOMAN CALLS POLICE
She summoned Corporal Frank w.
Kerfigan, who responded from the
Mission police station with several
oA GERS. They found the front door
locked and were Obliged TO force aside
the body of Mrs. Dean before gaining
admittance to the rear OF the house.
Her body was found lying across the
threshold. half In the kitchen and half
In the entryway. She was In her ,elip-
pers and dressing gown. In. the
kitchen the officers found tho body Of
the son. His body was nuddled under
the kitchen table upon which roposed
partly consumed meal Later they
came across the hody Of the slayer
lying upon the floor of nadjacent
sitting room.
From all indication Dean had care
fully selected 5000 rifie--one OF sew
eral he kept in pursuit OF 4 hobby
and shot his son. tearing away part
Of the latter's head with q soft nosed
bullet. Then Mrs. Dean. hearing tho
shot evidently had rushed into tho
sitting room. taken In at glance
what had happened and attempted to
flee. Dean shot her through the back
of the head as she reached the porch.
GUNS DEDAN's HOBBY
The collection OF firearms was q
weakness Of Dean, as was evidenced
by the presence. of several ries and
shotguns, some OF them fully loaded.
Neighbors say that there was nothing
about the home life of the Dean fam
lily to Indicate that tho old man nursed
any slumbering resentment against
his son and wife.
The son was q plumber, but had as
pired to Advancement as was Attested
in the scribbled examination papers,
essays and correspondence school
matter scattered about his room. In
none of these scraps was found the
least forecast or explanation OF the
tragedy The bewilderment of the
eDan friends Is shared by Mrs. E.
knight of 25os Bush street. . sister Of
the dead woman.
