Two weeks before that John Eva
Winchester. an 1S-year-old girl living
at Seffner, Fla, slew her sick father
by stamping him upon the face and
chest until she had trampled the life
out of him. The girl acted at the
command of her mother who declared
that Jesus ordered the death of Win
chester because the devil was in him.
Since then both have been tried. The
mother was committed TO an insane
asylum and the daughter was released
because it was shown that she was
acting entirely under her mothers di-
rectiOnS.
At the time of the Winchester
tragedy the crimes of Frank Mellow

and of his two sisters, were fresh in
