introduced before a coroner's jury
which held an inquest at the Okane
home, near here, where negro farm
hand yesterday found the bodies of six
of the murdered persons with Okane,
fatally shot, lying beside them.
Okane died in a hospital in this city

Okane frequently had. quarreled with
his aged father, James Okane and gave
their belief that the strained relations
existing between son and father caused
Daniel Okane to become temporarily in
sane.

five Okane children, Lewis, 13, Daniel,
8; Margaret z; Lillian 5; baby. Robert;

the four elder children had been cut
with a razor. Mrs. Okane's head had
been crushed with a hammer and she
also had been shot. The elder Okane
and Daniel Okane and the baby, Rob-
ert, also had bullet wounds through
their heads.
A bloody hammer and a razor were
found in the house.
A neighbor testified to the coroner's
jury that Daniel Okane and his entire
family had been at his house Sunday
evening and that Okane seemed in
good spirits. Neighbors all testified
that Okane was good to his family and
evidently loved his wife and children
but they said he had trouble contin-
ualiy with his father, James Okane,
who owned the farm upon which the
family was residing. Investigation de-
veloped that Daniel Okane recently
purchased the revolver found at the
house from a local second hand store.
The Okanes have resided in this Sec
ton for the past 80 years and the fam
lily is well known.
