BOUND OVER
IN HATFIELD CASE
Bail Fixed at $1,000 on Charge Which
Constituted Rape Daughter
Probably Not Murdered.

NORTHAMPTON, April 2S.-Paul
Ondras of Hatfield, whose daughter met
her death under tragic circumstances
Thursday night, pleaded guilty in dis
trict court yesterday to relations with |
the girl which constituted rape, be-
cause she was under 10 years Of age
and incest. Because of the seriousness |
of the crimes, Judge O'Donnell did not |
accept the plea of guilty but sent the
case to the superior court as one of |
"probable cause Bail was fixed at |
$4,000 and the defendant was COM
mitted.
Only enough evidence was heard to |
indicate probable guilt. The only wit
ness was State Officer Maurice Nelli- |
gan, who told the court that Ondras
had admitted to him that he had been
intimate with his daughter at various
times during the past six or seven
months. The father told the officer
that the girl became l6 years of age
last week. A. w. Stone acted as i'll
terpreter to make the charge clear to
the defendant, who pleaded guilty with
out any show of emotion.
An autopsy was held yesterday
morning, but what weight was given
to the condition of the body with ref
erence to possible murder was not
known.
The crime of rape, to which the de-
fendant has pleaded guilty, has an ex
IRENE penalty of life Imprisonment,
and the maximum penalty for incest
is 20 years.
Complete ignorance of what took
place Thursday night, up to the time
Officer NJ. j. Proulx arrested Ondras,
is claimed by the entire family. 1t
seems so improbable that family of
seven, crowded into four rooms, should
have failed to observe the movements
of the eighth member of the family
that the police suspect that the early
circumstances of the tragedy that
night are being deliberately concealed.
The father and mother of the girl say
| that they did not sec her alive after
she went upstairs at $50 in the even
ing, but it is said that she could not
have gone out doors without passing
through the room where her parents
and the Younger children were sleep
ing.
State Officer Maurice Michigan stat
ed last evening that the police had
practically abandoned the theory that
the girl was murdered. 1t is not now
believed that the child was born in tho
house, but it is theory that the girl
was rushing around in a frenzy, and
either committed suicide by throwing
herself i'll front of the car or dropped
to the ground in an agony, not rcaliz-
ing that she was close to the track
Her death, they believe was caused by
the blow of the ear, anu il is now held
! that the same cause accounts for the
discoloration Of the neck. The autop-
sy showed that the muscles of the meek
were torn to an extent that hardly
could have been accomplished by di-
rect human agency. 1t is thought
that the child was born almost on the
instant the woman was struck.

FIRE AT SPRINGFIELD.
Buildings OH Herman Hills Farm Des.
stroyed with Contents.

SPRINGFIELD, April 28.-Fire de-
stroycd the house, barn, and all out
buildings on the Herman Hill farm
just outside town Thursday evening.
The flames, which broke out between
and 5 O'Clock, spread so rapidly
that nothing was saved from the
house, while the contents of the other
buildings was almost a total loss.
Mr.. Hill had built fire in the
kitchen stove and went to the barn to
do his chores. When he returned an
hour later he found the room mass
of flames, the fire having ignited the
woodwork by means of defective
chimney.
The fire department from the vii
lage FASTENED TO the scene, but the
flames had spread SO rapidly that lit
tie could be done beyond saving the
buildings of Charles w. Bromley, a
neighbor. These caught fire several
times.
The scene of the blaze was Hewey
Hill, to the west of Springfield, and
| about mile and half from the cen.
! ter of the town
