MANIAC’S FEARFUL DEED His Invalid Mother and help* less Brother and Sister fall Victims of his Pitiless Axe. TheWolfolk of M ssc uri. 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.
