Colnmbus,- O., March ts.- Found
guilty and sentenced to death for the
horrible murder of hla eged father,
mother' and brother and denounced aa a
"criminal whose cunning and fiendish
desires have seldom been equaled la
tbla country." Pr, Oliver Crook Haugh,
a man of good family and education, la
' awaiting death in the electrto chair two
weeka hence. The - supreme -court baa
Just affirmed the sentence of Dr. Haugh,
; who has been aa inmate of the peniten
tiary annex for nearly a year.
Dr. Haugh waa a resident of Dayton.
. In hla early career be was highly re
spected and looked upon as a talented
phyalclan. But four or five years ago
-talcs began to' circulate regarding un
canny experiments with drugs being car
" rled on In the laboratory of Dr. Ha ugh.
In a abort while it became known that
- the- young physician himself had be
come a drug fiend of the worst type.
Metamorphosis waa wrought in the in
dividuality of the man by the excessive
use. of tn.rphlne, cocaine and opium.
Me became haggard, wild, demoniacal.
Several times he disappeared from hi
home It was later asserted that the
mysterious murders of women in the
outskirts of Cincinnati, so cloalyi re
sembling the Whltechapel crimes of
London." were Coincident with soma of
' these disappearances. Nothing was aver
brought to light., however, to eubstan
tlate the suspicion that Dr. Haugh waa
conected with these crimes. , -roiaoaed,
, aad Vaeai Bnraed Victims.
, On November 6, 1I0S, came the triple
tragedy for wh.ch tbe young physician
Is doomed to die In .the electrto chair,
uue old family bom at Vaadella,near
Dayton, where the physician bad gone
to spend the night with relatives, was
burned. In 'the ruins were found the
bodies of Haugh' e father, hla mother
and hia brother, Jesse Haugh. All had
been mutilated. It waa charged that
the bodies bad been saturated with kero
sene In order to aid the work of oblit
eration. -.
- The authorities ' charged - Dr. -' Haugh
with the murders, asserting that be had
set fire to the bouse In order to con
ceal his crime. Physicians ' asserted
- that the victims bad been poisoned be
fore "being burned. Of the inmates of
the house on tbe fatal night Dr. Haugh
alone escaped The motive -alleged for
tae , crime was personal gain. - Dr.
Haugh, it was asserted, had spent all hs
money and was no longer able to pur
chase the drugs which he craved with
aa appetite that brooked bo denial. .
Hat BoagM Folsoa. .
' Several days before the crime Dr.
Ilaugh received from a Cleveland drug
house enough hyocine to kill a dosen
men. It waa the opinion of the prose
cution, that tbla poison was administered
to his victims until they lost conscious
ness, after which he piled their bodies
into a heap, saturated them with oil
'and aet them afire. They were entire
ly consumed by the flames, which com
pletely destroyed the bouse. ' -
. The testimony of several neighbors,
who arrived early on the scene, aided
: In the conviction of the physician. Re
liable wltneaaea swore that tha odor of
oil was distinctly noticeable in tha early
stages of tha fire and that the bodies
of the father mother aad brother were
fully dreeaed. when they vainly tried to
rescue in era rrora tne names.
In hla defense, Haugh declared that.
rinding tne bouse u names, he at'
. tempted to gala entrance to his parents'
room, but waa driven back by fir and
moke. Then bis underclothing caught
fire, and he declared that be bad been
burned badly. But tbe physicians of tbe
Hospital, where be applied tor relief.
eould find neither burn nor scratch upon
nis soar. -
" Tha evidence against Haugh was eoa
. elusive and the defense, after the con
viction aet for the claim that tbe pris
oner was insane. Haugh played his part
wait, and for weeks acted as on en
tirely bereft of reason. Experts were
set to watch him by the state, and he
waa caught off hla guard on several oc
casions. After long trial he
