At half-past five he stopped in front
of Godalming postoffice. To his sur
prise the girl handed him wire, and
Hugh tore the yellow envelope open
quickly. It was from Denny, and it
was brief and to the point:
"Phene message received. A.AA.
Must see you Carlton tea day after
tomorrow. Going Godalming now.
AAA. Message ends.'
With slight smile he noticed the
military phraseology- Denny at one
time in his career had been a signaler
and then he frowned. Must see
you.' She shouldn't once.
He turned to the girl and inquired
the way to The J,archcs. It was
about two miles, he gathered, on the
Guildford road, and impossible to
miss. A biggish house standing well
back in its own grounds.
SIS it anywhere near a house called
The Elmsy' he asked.
'Next door, sir" said the girl. 'The
gardens adjoin."
He thanked her, and having torn
up the telegram into small pieces, he
got into his car. There was nothing

ing night-noises came gently through
the window; but the man who had
screamed once did not even whimper
again. He remembered hearing II
similar cry near the brick-stacks at
Guinchy, and two nights later be had
found the giver of it, at the edge
of mine-crater, with glazed eyes that
still held in them the horror of the
final second. And more persistently
than ever, his thoughts conferred on
the fifth occupant of the Rolls
Royce.
It was with almost look of relief
that Mr.. Benton listened to his tale of
woe aboEt his car.
"Of course you must stop here for
the night" he cried. Phyllis, my
dear, will you tell them to get a
room ready?"
With an inscrutable look at Hugh,
in which thankfulness and apprehen-
sion seemed mingled, the girl left the
room. There was an unnatural gilt
ter in her fathers eyes-a flush on his
cheeks hardly to be accounted for by
the warmth of the evening; and
it struck Drummond that during the
time he had been pretending to look
at his car, Mr.. Benton had been forti-
flying himself. 1t was obvious, even
to the soldiers unprofessonal eye,
that the mans nerves had gone TO
pieces, his daughters worst forebod-
ings were likely to be fulfilled. He
talked disjointedly and fast; his
hands were not steady, and he seemed
to be always waiting for something
to happen.
Hugh had not been in the room ten
minutes before his host produced the
whisky, and during the time that he
took to drink mild nightcap, Mr..
Benton succeeded in lowering three
extremely strong glasses OF. spirit.
And what made it the more sad was
that the man was obviously not a
heavy drinker by preference.
At eleven o'clock Hugh rose and
said good night.
you'll ring fr you want anything,
won't you?" said his host. 1--WE don't
have very many visitors here. but
hope you'll find everything you re-
quire. Breakfast at nine"
Drummond closed the door behind
him, and stood for moment in
silence, looking round the hall. 1t
Wes deserted, but he wanted to get

printed on his mind. He stepped
across toward the drawing-room. In

She rose the instant he came in,
and stood by the mantelpiece with her
hands locked
"What was it?" she hale whispered
that awful noise at dinner?''
He looked at her gravely for a
while, and then he, shook his head
"Shall we leave it as night-bird for
| the present." he said quietly. Then
he leaned toward her, and took her
hands in his own. 'Go to bed, little
girl" he ordered; this is my show.

wonderful. Thank God you saw my

MAYFIELD. KY, June 27.--All doubt
that the eleven members of the Drew
and Lawrence families were murdered
before their home near here was set
afire vanished to-day when invest;ga-
tors. removed the bodies of the men,
women and children from the ruins OF
the "house of horror" Though the
bodies were charred by the flames of
Saturday mignight, that of one of the
women revealed wounds showing that a
crime of increditable fury had been
committed
Every officer in Graves County was
working on the case tolday, and though
arrests were limited as likely tonight,
the authorities appeared to be working
in the dark and many people here fear
that the secret of this, the worst trag-
edy Kentucky ever has known, viii!
never be revealed.
The weapons found in the debris,
several guns and an AK, offered obvious
clews. Some officials have the theory
that no one man could have ac-
niation-that only party of murder
ers could have carried out the whole
sale crime. If one man had attempted,
it is argued, to do away with both fami-
lies in the small home of Ernest Law
renee some Of them would have es-
capped. But every person in the house
was slain in swift series of blows.
Sheriff Mccain announced late to-
day that he had not changed his theory
that Lawrence had developed fit of
insanity, and in a frenzy had killed
his wife, their three children and their
guests-Otis Drew, Mrs. Drew, her
f1rn1 rh; \.
Delmer Drew. The indications are, the
Sheriff said, that Lawrence saturated
the room in which the bodies were
found with oil, touched a match to ii
and killed himself.
Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Drew were
sisters and, neighbors said, had long
been accustomed to exchanging visits
over the week end One report to-day
had it that Lawrence had been roughly
handled by policeman in Mayfeld
number of years ago and that in the
course of the struggle had been struck
on the head Since then, the story
ran, Lawrence had suffered from i'll
ness periodically which had affected
his mind. Sheriff Mccain said he had
been unable to verify it.
Sheriff Mccain listened to-day tc
lstheories which ranged from premedl-
tated murder by unknown persons tc
accident, but in the end held to his
own, which he frankly acknowledged
was but theory, that Lawrence hat
suddenly become insane and rar
amuck.
The victims of the murder were
buried to-day, all being placed in
| one grave. Their names are Err
lnest Lawrence, thirty-one years old;
Mrs. Ernest. Lawrence, twenty FIVE

NEW CITY, N. Y, June 27.-Genero
Cesera, one of the three men who took
part in the murder of Michael Bohl, an
elderly grocer Of Grand View, was SEN
fenced to die yesterday by Justice Ar
thur 5. Tompkins in the Supreme Court
here. AT the same time it became
known that Justice Tompkins and Dis
triet Attorney Morton Lexow had petit
TONED the Governor to commute the
death sentence.
This unusual condition arises out of
the fact that Cesera, after he had been
found guilty by jury of murder in the
iirst degree, but before he had been
sentenced, voluntarily turned states
v'dence and gave information which
served to convict Luigi Ebanisto and
Albert Libero.
:, Anxious as they were to do some
tning to lessen Cesera's penalty be-
cause of his sentence, neither,the JUS
tice nor the District Attorney could
AVOID the imposition of the death SEN

and Japan Invited.

WashingtOn.-By unanimous vote,
5S senators answering the roll, the
Senate attached as an amendment to
the naval appropriations bill a section
calling upon the President to call a
conference Of the United States, Jap
anese and Great Britain to consider
naval disarmament,
The proposition originally presented
by Senator Borah Rep), Idaho, was
put before the Senate under unani-
nous consent agreement by Senator
Edge (Rep), New Jersey, and The vote
was taken upon his amendment
The vote was taken after seven
hours Of debate, which included an
executive session at which foreign af-
fairs, particularly in reference to
Japan, were discussed.
Senator Walsh, Democrat Montana,
proposed AS Il substitute for the Borah-
Edge amendment "a plan for a confer
ence on general disarmament to be
called by the President This, after
several hours of debate, was defeated,
% to &c, by practically strict party
vote. Senator Smith of Georgia was
the only Democrat to vote with the
Republicans and no Republicans voted
in its favor. Though the session of the
Senate was nearly 13 hours in length,
the naval bill itself was barely touched
upon.
After the doors were opened, Sena-
tor Borah (Rep), Of Idaho and other
leaders in the fight against the bill
declared emphatically that the meas
ure in its present form could not be
passed before Congress adjourned. The
Senate then swung into a long session,
with a promise by Senator Polndexter
(Rep), Of Washington, in charge of
the bill, that it would be held in
continuous session until action had
been taken one way or another.
The motion for the secret session
was made by Senator Lodge Of Massa-
chuseus, the Republican leader and
chairman Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee He suddenly inter-
rupted a long open debate on the bill
by expressing the hope that the meas
ure would be passed by this Congress
and adding that there were some
angles Of the question which should
not be discussed in public,
