MURDER OF NINE
LAID TO HUSBAND
Bodies of Woman and Her
Eight Children Dug Up
on Texas Ranch.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FAREWELL, Tex, December -.
Secrecy was maintained today regard
ing the whereabouts of George J.
Hassell. 45-year-old Texas Panhandle
rancher, who was charged with mur
der last night following the discovery
of the bodies of his wife and her
eight children in a dugout at their
ranch home, near here.
IIaSsell was removed from hos
pital at Clovis, n. Mex. last night a
few hours after he had been taken
there suffering from self-inflict@d
knife wounds. He stabbed himself
when officers came to search his
ranch ut the request of neighbors.
who reported the family had BEEN
missing nearly three weeks.
Spirited Away by Officers.
Physicians at Clovis refused To give
the details of Hassell's removal from
the hospital other than to say he had
been spirited away" probably by Of
ficers. Although doctors at first said
he had little chance for recovery,
they later announced that while his
condition was serious, he probably
would survive.
Authorities also withheld informa
ton regarding ITassell. They lie
clined to confirm or deny reports thar
TanchcrS had assembled at points
along the TeXas-NeW Mexico border
| to discuss the case.
Investigation of the SlayinGs was
extended today to reports of circum
stances in the death of Hassell
brother, whose widow he married tNo
Years ago.
The bodies were found wrapped III

three weeks, the coroner said. The
| children ranged in age from = years
| TO II. All except the youngest ap
| parently had been killed with an az
| found in the dugout. The baby had
| been chOked.
| The dead, besides the mother: Alton
| 81; Virgil. IS: Maude, Il; Russell, L.
| David, {: John, 6; Mamie, 4. and
| Samuel, ..
| Sells Farm Equipment.
| Neighbors said they paid little at
! tention to the absence of the family
| the first week. as Hassell told them
| he planned to move to oklahoma and
| had sent his wife and stepchildren
| there. He also told of his affection
| for the children and plans he had
| made for them. This was partly sub
| stantiated. neighbors believed, when
| he sold about 1900 worth of farm
| equipment about two weeks ago.
/ IIassell appeared daZed when taken
! to the hospital and was unable to tell
of his movements during the last
month. A correspondent of the News
at Amarillo. 80 miles north of here,
! reported that Hassell was not told OF
/ the finding of the bodies and that NJ
! apparently was delirious from the
time the officers appeared until re
moved from the hospital.
! The Hassell ranch is located in the
plains section of the Panhandle and
! mp until IL few years ago was devoted
mostly to grazing. Although wheat
farming brought many settlers. the
section is still sparsely settled.

BRAND PERCEIVES
PEACE ADVANCING
In Christmas Message to American
Press, Denies Truth of Pre-
paredness Stopping War.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 25.--~Foreign Min
lister BRAND, in q Christmas message
to the American press, today denied
the. truth of the old adage that the
best means to preserve peace was to
prepare for war.
Christmas, he said, was good time
to reckon up what had been done
rather toward preparing for peace.
He gave Germany credit for making
real effort to bring about complete
reconciliation and said that he be-
lieved, with Foreign Minister Strese-
mann of Germany and Foreign Secre-
tary Sir Austen Chamberlain of Great
Britain, that the year 1927 would see
the new spirit of Locarno more large
ly spread through the minds Of the
peoples of the world.
THE old Latin adage had 1t that
preparation for war was the best
guarantee of peace" M. BRAND said.
1--WE know today to what terrible con-
sequences may lead the acceptance of
such a method of reasoning, and at an
hour when in Occidental thoughts
are evoked the memory Of the old
Christmas and the great hope that
spread through the world in connec-
ton with it, we may with profit
reckon up what has been done toward
preparation for peace"
