MANIAC’S FEARFUL DEED
His Invalid Mother and help*

Mon Igomtgomery Mo Nov. 20
—A horrible butchery was com
rnitted this morning about 3
o'c'oek in a farmbo is* tw» miler
Hast of Wellsville, iu this (Mont
gomery) county,
Mother, two sous aud a daughter
are dead, aud their bodies are burn
ed in a building charred beyond
reeoguiiiou,
The ouly one of the family of
grown people who escaped death
a sister. She escaped by jumping
through a window,
Thornes Portucheck was a Bo
hemian, unmarried, who lived
a farm two miles from Wellevi b
with his brother, an invalid, i>
widowed mother and two sisters
the latter aged about 15 and 19
respectively. The younger brother,
aged about 25 years, and Thomas
occupied one room, and the siste s
slept m the room wi h their moth
er, who has been unable to leav<
het bed for the last twelve ye»r».
About 3 o’clock this morning
the elder sister was aroused by
hearing a moan and heavy blows
in her room, where the light was
burning. She opened her eyes aud
saw her brother, Thomas with an
ax in his hand, just striking a
blow at bis mother’s defenseless
head.
He turned and steed between
his sister and the door. With a
fearful scream she bounded to the
window, and through it, carrying
the sash with her.-
She stopped and looked into the
room she had just left.
The maniac struck the lamp
from the stand, scattering the
coal oil over the fleor, and lighted
it, and then opened the doer and
stepped just outside of the thresh
old.
Standing in the light of the
blazing room, he cut his threat
with a knife, stabbed himself in
the abdomen and fell into the
doorway, with his head in the
Hames.
The frightened sister lushed fast
as her feet would carry her to the
nearest neighbor, a quarter of a
mile distant, aroused him and told
her tale. He at once summoned the
neighbors, and by the time thiy
arrived at the scene the inside oi
the building was a mass of fire
and the bodies could be seen in
the blaze.
Just how the maniac killed his
brother and sister will never be
known, but it is supposed that the
first dispatched his brother in his
own room with the ax, and them
entered the other.
The murderer was a quiet, inof
fensive, but not a very bright man.
He attended to his own business
and was generally supposed to be
perfectly harmless.
His sister noticed notning unusu
al with him Sunday afternoon, ex
cept that he was extremely irrita
ble, and spoke harshly to them
several times. He also complained
of a severe pain in the back of his
head and said that it felt like
someone was boring into his brain
behind his ear.
None of them sould speak Eng
lish well ana had but little com
munication with their neighbors.
There is another 1 rother, who i«
married who moved to St Louis
some months age.
There is no doubt that the mur .
