MANIAC MURDERS
THREE: CHILDREN
TO GET REVENGE

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 2G.-The
coronefs office here was seeking
this morning to learn something
of the history of Emil Neuriter, a
ferryboat operator, who yesterday
invaded the home of D. G. Engel,
woodworker, and slew three of
EngeFs children and himself.
The only light shed upon the
holiday tragedy was given by
Helen Engel, 16 years old, sister
of the victims of the suicide, who
said the forty-year-old slayer had
made love to her last spring, had
shot at her when she repelled his
advances. and had afterward writ
ten letters threatening to kill her
and her family.
Funeral arrangements were be-
ing made for the three Engel chill
dren, Anna, II, who was shot IN
the heart when she sprang to the
defense Of the family after Neurl-
fer had forced her father with
two leyeIed reEolvers to admit him
to the house; Lille, 3, who re-
ceiyed a bullet in her forehead as
she stood on a chair with two dolls
in her arms while her parents ran
out of the front door, and Hans,
IA. who was slain in his bedroom
where Neuriter shot himself in the
chest.

Supposed Victim of
Murder Writes Note
Saying She Is Alice

Portland, Or, Dec. 26.-Police
and the district attorneys officers
were faced with another puzzle to-
day in their investigation of the
story OF Mrs. Helen Leary that
l5-year-old girl had been killed in
the houseboat of Cash Weir, veter-
an river man, last September. The
new development came in the
shape of an anonymous letter re-
ceived by Chief of Police L, V.
Jenkins stating the writer was the
girl who was in the houseboat and
that she had withheld her name
because she wanted to spare her
family publicity in connection
with the case.
Chief Jenkins announced that if
the writer of the letter would
communicate with him and ar
range for a meeting he would see
that her name did not become pub
lie.
The letter gave details of an
alteration in the houseboat in
which Mrs. Leary clashed with
Cash Weir and the writer took
Weir's part.
Mrs. Leary was taken by Off
GERS today on a trip over the low
er Columbia river highway to
point out the spot where she said
Earl Weir, con of Cash, had told
her the body of the alleged victim
of the house boat tragedy had been
buried under ton of rocks"
