The house was literally a shambles,

The immediate aid of Luke S. May,
Seattle crimonologist, was called for.
and no attempts were made to move
the bodies until his arrival.
The kitchen floor was covered with
broken liquor bottles and dishes,
shelves were torn off, and blood stains
covered the floors and walls.
In the dining room, the body of
Jordon was found, slumped down in
a chair. The housemaid was lying on
the floor. her arm reaching up to
couch. They had been brutally and
horribly beaten. apparently with q
hammer or other implement, the
sheriff declared.
DOuy IN SlOset.
In the bed room Mrs. Fleiders body
was found, lying on the bed. her face
and forehead also badly smashed. The
body of one of the unidentified men,
similarly beaten, was found crowded
into a closet.
The other two victims, Fielder and
the other unidentified man, were in
the living room, both lying face down
on the floor.
A neighbor, Tom Sanders, who lived
nearby, and K. Erland, for whom the
point on which the Summer colony is
named is located, discovered the
tragedy. A large car. in which three
French poodle Gogs were locked up,
had been standing in front of the
Fielder home for three days.
Their suspicious arouseS. late to-
day the men entered the yard of the
home and through a window saw the
ransacked house and two of the
bodies. Hurriedly they called the
sheriff's Office and he and his depu-
ties rushed to the scene. The sheriff
broke into the home

Daughter Escapes Tragedy.
The 10-year-old daughter Of the
Fleiders, Maxine, had not been home
the past few days, visiting with an
uncle. Lewis, at Bremerton, and thus
escaping the tragedy.
Prosecutor R. w. Miller said the
six persons had apparently been hav-
ing party, with drinks being served.
when hold-up men entered the home.
Apparently at revolver point they
covered the eyes of their victims with
tape.
Then. it would appear. the prose-
cutor said. that one of the party tore
it way and possibly identified the hold
up men. A fight probably ensued. and
it is possible that the hold-up men
then decided to kill the victims to
prevent their ever being identified, he
declared.
Quiet Since Wednesday.
The Fleiders came back home a
week ago, after having visited in
