Daughter With Ax.
ATTACK ' ON WIFE FAILS
Aged Los Angeles Man Finally At
tempts Suicide, but Falls Awful
Crime long Premeditated.
Bought Victims'Tombstones.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 13. After having
prepared three grave In Evergreen Cem
estery and caused headstone to be. erect
ed one for himself, one for his son and
one for his married daughter Henry J.
Dufty this morning killed his two chil
dren with an axe and attempted to kill
himself with a butcherknife. An effort
to kill hi9 wife failed.
Fred A. Dufty. 24 years old. an auto
mobile machinist, was beheaded In his
bed at 247 North Mountalnvlew avenue,
where he lived alone with his father.
This murder was committed while the
young man lay asleep, as there is no
evidence of a struggle, but the old man
gouged out the eyes and mutilated the
face horribly.
The murderer then took his bloody axe.
concealed in a sack, to the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Zaldah LaComb, with
whom his wife was living. There he
struck the daughter two fierce blows In
the back of the neck as she ran from
him, splitting her skull with one blow
and decapitating her with the other.
A blow was aimed at the older woman,
who threw up her arm and protected
her head, but had her elbow terribly
gashed. She escaped with her life.
Dufty then returned to his son's house,
where he was hacking at his throat with
a butcher knife when the police arrested
him. Dufty really took three lives, for
his daughter was within a week of- be
coming a mother.
His Mind Was Blank.
Tonight Dufty lies writhing with epi
lepsy, strapped to a cot In the receiving
hospital. He understands questions and
readily answered.
"I don't remember anything about hit
ting my boy," he said. "That part of
it is a blank. 1 do remember hitting my
daughter. I seemed to wake up then."
"Why did you kill her? Were you an
gry with her?" he was asked.
"No; I loved her. Something seemed
to overpower me and make me do It. I
wish they would let me die. If they
would unloose my hands I'd kill my
self." The tragedy occurred bout 8 this morn
ing in the extreme northwestern part of
the city. Dufty lived at the home of his
son, Fred Dufty, at 247 North Mountain
View street. He had been on the verge
of violent Insanity for weeks from re
ligious enthusiasm. He was a member of
Peniel Hall, a local religious organization,
holding nightly meetings In the Bast
Side.
Last night Dufty ' attended a religious
meeting and worked himself Into an al
most frantic frame of mind with religious
ardor. When he arose this morning at the
house of his son, he was suddenly seized
with a desire to kill. Going to the rear
of the house he selected a sharp-bladed
axe, with which he returned to the house.
Entering stealthily the bedroom of his
on. where the latter lay asleep, he crept
close to the elde of the bed and raising
the weapon aloft brought It down with
terrific force across the neck of his son.
The blow was delivered with such tre
that the head of the victim
was severed completely frtrm the body and
the blade of the axe sanK jmo m "
clothing. Blood from the dismembered
bodv spurted all over the room.
With a maniacal cry, Dufty rushed
from the house and down the street,
waving his bloody weapon, making for
the house at 451 Northwest Lake ave
nue, where his wife and daughter, Mrs.
LaCom, resided..
Before entering the house, Dufty con
cealed his ax In a sack which he car
ried. Mrs. Dufty and her husband had
been separated for some time, and she
had gone to the home of her daughter to
nurse her through approaching confine
ment. When Dufty entered the house, she
asked:
"Where is Fred?"
"Oh. he's gone to work," responded
the old man quietly, who a few min
utes before had slain his son as he lay
asleep. .
"But he hasn't had his breakfast,
persisted the mother.
Nervously Fingers Ax.
"No, but he got up late and thought
he would get something to eat down
town," replied the murderer. The old
man. sat nervously fingering the sack,
while the women proceeded to prepare
breakfast. Suddenly he got up, drew
the bloody ax from the sack and at
tacked the women.
The elder woman cried to her daughter
to seize the child Margaret and run, while
she turned to battle with her Insane hus
band The first blow descending struck
her on the elbow, cutting a frightful gash
and breaking the bone. Mre. Dufty picked
up the little child in her arms as she ran.
Mrs com in her helpless condition,
was unable to run and fell. The old man
struck her again and again with the ax,
crushing the skull.
The neighborhood was axoused by the
cries of the women and the police were
summoned. Meanwhile Dufty walked
calmly down the street to his home.
Bought Graves for All.
Seven weeks ago Dufty went to the
Evergreen Cemetery, where he pur
chased from the sexton a lot large
enough for the burial of four persons,
explaining that he wanted it for him
self, wife, son and daughter. Three
flays ago he went to Breze Bros." un
dertaking establishment and purchased
a cofTin for himself. He selected the
coffin with great care, Insisting that It
be an exact size. '
Not only did Dufty buy ground for
the burial of his victims, but he had
headstones erected for three graves.
Three plain tombstones were put In
place on the lot at his order, bearing
the names "Henry J. Dufty," "Fred A.
Duftv," "Zaldah La Com." These were
his son, his daughter and himself. The
gravestones for his children were
placed on either aide of the one erected
for himself.
Superintendent Miller, of Evergreen
Cemetery said that he regarded the
man's actions as peculiar when he
made arrangements for the lot In the
cemetery, but thought nothing of the
matter afterwards. Dufty, who is
quite well-to-do, paid 60 for the head
stones and was in a great hurry to
have them erected.
Son Was Machinist.
Fred Dufty, the son. was 24 years of
age and unmarried. He was an automo
bile machinist. It was evident from the
condition of the son's body and the
room in which both men had slept that
the son had never awakened.
Clark A. Dufty, another son, resides In
Thompson, Mont.
It was stated by the attending sur
geons late this afternoon that the old
man would recover from his wounds.
He is undoubtedly Insane. Mrs. Dufty
was brought to the receiving hospital,
while her husband was in the hands of
the surgeon, and placed on an adjoin
ing ot. Neither took any notice of
the other. It is feared that the aged
woman may lose her mind as a result
of the tragedy.
Dufty is suffering from epilepsy and lo
comotor ataxia and shows symptoms of
pneumonia.
