SEVEN GHASTLY DEAD
The Fiendish Work of a
Mad Father.
A WHOLE FAMILY KILLED.
Richard Klatte Takes His Own
Life With Six Others,
Chicago, Feb. 6. Mellaril Kluttc.a
carpenter, Inst night murdered his
motlior, father, wife and three child
ren and completed the work by killing
himself. The members of the Klatte
family were found dead early thla
morning in their little cottage, at 207.
Borskau avenue, by Mat hew Brown, a
saloon keeper, who called to wcurc
the services of the carpenter. Kaeh
of the seven corpses had bullet wounds
in the head, and the death of all was
evidently Instant. Beside the body of
Richard Klatte lay a revolver and
empty cartridge shells were scattered
about the room. There were no Indi
cations or n struggle on. the part of
any of tho victims. A heavy odor,
which appeared to be that of ohlor
form, pervaded tho house.
From this it was surmised that
Richard had first chloroformed tho
entire family, and then taken delib
erate aim and put a bullet Into tho
brain of each. Everything pointed to
a deliberately planned murder by the
head of tho family, and tho destro to
placa himself and family boyond any
further earthly troubles.

were cold and hungry. Since Christmas
he had been out of work and ended
his troubles Just as relief was in
sight.
This morning his next-door neigh
bor, Adolph Schmidt, called at tho
cottage with tho joyful news that he
had found .a Job for Klattke. At tho
samo time Matt Brown arrived on the
samo errand.
