"She hated father," explained the Iwiy
to Sheriir Uwi yesterday afternoon.
"She couldn't liear him any longer.
"The night of the murder we were all
up until Il;30. Then futlier went to
l'd and to uleep,
"A little after midnight Dora clipped
away. She went out in the dark to a
cabin itome of im ued clone by and got
a 30-:i0 rille.
"Then he cm me buck and put the rifle

The peculiar feature of the crime
which attracted much attention at the

and hi aailant until they woke in the
morning, and it was thought that they
must have been drugged, as they slept
