Family Dispute
Is Blamed for
Seven Sayings

CLINTON, N c., Oct. 3 (P.-
Domestic difficulties were blamed
by officers for a tenant farmer
going berserk yesterday and kill
ing his six children and himself.
Rufus A. King, 35. had a
temper and had several disputes
with his wife that the neighbors
knew about, but he was a sober
church-goer without a police
record.
Yesterday morning, apparently
while two of his children were
waiting for a school bus in the
front yard of their five-room
house, his mind snapped.
Beaten With Axe
Within a matter of minutes
he had shot each of the six
through the head with a %
rifle and then beat the heads of
each with an AK and the rife.
Three hours later Kings body
was found in a cornfield about a
quarter mile from the house. He
had shot himself between the
eyes with a .410 shotgun.
Coroner Coleman Carter said
'It's a clear case of six murders
and a suicide"
Mrs. King, 81, was at a
brothers house at the time of
the slayings. She is under seda-
tives, suffering from shock plus
a beating administered by her
husband.
Mass Funeral Set
A mass funeral is scheduled
for tomorrow, with interment
in the King family cemetery at
Clinton.
Coroner Carter said an exact
reconstruction of what took place
during the family's last fatal
hours may never be known.
Mrs. King had sworn a war
rant charging King with beat
ing her.
Two deputies, who arrived at
the King house around s am. to
serve the warrant. discovered
the bodies of the children.
Bloodhounds found Kings body
in the cornfield.
The children were Alice TO-
Joseph 8, Melvin 7, Ruth 5, Jerry
4, and Susan 2.
