Found in Ruins of House

ARRESTS ARE PROBABLE
Revolver, Shotgun, Empty

ROOm-Screams Heard.

Special Despatch to The New YORK HEuArp.
MAYFIEID. KY. June 26.-The charred
bodies Of eleven persons believed 10
have been murdered were found early
to-day in the smoking ruins OF farm
house six miles north of Mayfield.
Every member of two families had
perished.
Screams of women and gunshots
were heard by neighbors at midnight,
when the fire started. This informa-
ton, coupled with the impossibility of
eleven persons being trapped in one
room with windows and doors open,
convinced officers the victims met
with foul play.
The dead are Ernest Lawrence, aged
25: Mrs. Lora Lawrence. his wife;
Fred Lawrence, 5; Ethel Lawrence, 4;
Ralph Lawrence. II months; Otis
Drew, 26: his wife Ola, %; Harry
Drew. s: Otis Drew, Jr.; baby Drew,
and Delma Drew, IA. a nephew of the
Drews.
Parts Of clothing were clinging TO the
cnarred flesh Of the two men and 1t Is
supposed they had not gone to bed. The
theory has been advanced that sudden
insanity OF some member OF the house.
hold prompted the tragedy. Another
theory is that the victims were drugged
and the house was set ahre.
Sheriff Mccain intimsted that arrests
might be made. He said, however. that
neither family had any avowed enemies
so far as he had found.
A pistol with two exploded cartridges
vas found by the side OF one man. An
axe and an oil can also were found in
the room where the families slept. a
shotgun and a rife also were found
They had been discharged. The Coroner's
fury said I'VE believe there was foul
nlay hut we do not know the cause.
Sheriff Merton Mccain Is confident the
victims were drugged or dubbed to
death or shot and fire started. five
gallon coal oil can, usually kept In the
kitchen. was found just inside the room.
THE only plausible theory I have
said the Sheriff. sis that Lawrence. who
was struck a blow on the head several
years ago, and since has been addicted
TO occasional spells. became insane. He
never had shown violence when he was
delirious before. however. IL is impos-
sIble that none of eleven persons in this
small house with plenty OF avenues OF
escape would not have been awakened
by the flames"
