Father Who Killed 6 Children
Was Religious, Bad Tempered
CLINTON, N.C. (UP) "My
children are gone, my. children
are gone. If 1 could just hear
Susie say mommy again.
Mrs. Rufus A, King was, almost
incoherent as she made plans - for
the funeral of Susie and her. five
other - children who were slain by
her berserk husband Tuesday be
fore he killed himself.
"Susie would wake me up in the
night and pat me on the cheek
and say 'mommy'," Mrs. King
sobbed at the home of her mother,
Mrs. Wiley Tyndall.
As. Mrs. King made prepara
tions for the mass funeral today,
neighbors tried to piece together
recollections of her quiet husband,
a man so like themselves they
hardly noticed 1 him until he
slaughtered the children and then
shot himself between the eyes.
A Religious Man
King, 35, was a religious man.
He set aside a tithe of his corn
land each year for his church. He
was poor but worked hard for his
family, the neighbors said..
But King had one glaring fault.
He had a bad temper and fought
with his wife frequently, . the
neighbors said.
It was a beating he gave his
pretty wife Christine that appar
ently touched off the chain of
events leading to his ax, riflebutt
and shotgun slaying ot the chil
dren, Alice Gray 12; Joseph (Son
ny Boy), 10; Melvin, 8; Jerry, 4;
Ruth, 3, and Susan, 2.
Drove Wife From House
King, who wa born and reared
within a mile of the. death-sccno,
drove his wife from the house
Monday night.. She went to the
home of one of her three brothers
Governor Bars
PulpitsArrests
No more ministers will be arrest
ed during church services, Gov.
Smith promised Wednesday.
He said he has assured the Ore
gon Assemblies of God that there
will be no repetition of the inci
dent in Yoncalla recently when an
Assembly of God minister was ar
rested by a state policeman on a
warrant sworn by one of the local
residents..
Gov. Smith called it an "unfor
tunate error of judgment. Slate
police officials with my whole
hearted approval have taken stops
to prevent distressing incidents
such as this in. the future and
have sent an apology to the min
ister concerned and members of
his church."
The warrant later was dis-
, missed at the request of the man
wno nad complained that the min
ister entered his house without
authorization. The complainant
said this charge was false and
apologized.
