A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN OHIO I
An Isolated Farm House Entered by a
Masked Murderer, Who Kills the
Aged Parents and Knocks Two
Others Senseless.
May's IjAxmkq. Mnreh 30. Tlio young
Woman strangled to death by her supposed
husband, John Hcch, formerly a notorious
"dlvo" keeper at Gloucester City, and
found burled in tho woods near Estelvlllo,
N. J., on Frldny, was llesio Weaver,
daughter of a Germantown physician,
whoso youthful escapades and marrlago to
Wllllo Itef t, tho son of tho wealthy brewer,
from whom sho was soon divorced, created
a decided sensation in Philadelphia sev
eral years ago.
John Keeh was takoii in custody Into
Saturday night at Dustloton, and tho coil
of circumstantial ovidonco that has boon
woven around him is now so complete
that It will bo almost impossible: for him
to cscapo from tho meshes of tho law. It
was learned by tho Atlantio county au
thorities that the report that thomurdercd
woman had made a will was correct, and
this at onco established tho motive for tho
crime.
By tho provisions of tho will and tho
power of attorney given Kech by his sup
posed wlfo tho former thought to securo
full control of her property and porsonal
estate Tho will provided that upon her
death all hor money, annuity and prop
erty is given fully into tho chargo of llech
until their child becomes of ago, and ns
tho boy Is practically an infant ho would
havo had complete possession of hor for
tuno. Philadelphia, March 30. Suspected
murderer John Hcch, it Is said, yostorday
mado u confession to tho polico admitting
that ho inurdored his wife for tho purposo
of onjoylng tho munoy loft by Dr. Weaver
to his daughter Klizaboth (IJcsslo). Tho
authorities rcfuso to reveal tho details of
tho confession, It is said, however, that
Kech, in admitting tho crime, says that
tho child is not tho offspring of Elizabeth,
but that it was obtained in this city six
weeks ago as a result of a nowspapor ad
vertisement. It soems also that tho cou
plo wero not lawfully marriod, although a
ceremony was gono through beforo a jus
tlco of tho peaco in Jersey City in May,
1803. Ho is said to havo confessed that ho
has a wlfo and daughter living in Catu
annua, Pa., but whether sho obtaluod dl
voreo papors is not known.
It is claimed that ho and Elizabeth
Weaver conspired to let him bocomo tho
benoflciary under tho will of her father in
case of hor dath. Undor tho terms of tho
doctor's will Kllzabcth had botweon ?30,
000 and $50,0i)0 loft hor III trust. Should
sho dio without issuo tho money was to go
to charity. As tho first step In tho con
spiracy the woman mado a will leaving
heriuherltancoto Rech In trust for tholr
child, Thoy had yot to obtain a child.
When they appeared in Kstoivlllo sho
began to mako it appear thoy had a child
In tills city. About six weeks ago thoy aro
Bald to havo como hero and advertised for
an infant about ten months old. Ono was
obtained, which is said to bo tho Illegiti
mate oifspring of a promluont society
woman and a Now York buslnoss man.
With tho child they returned to EstolvlUo.
Tho, rosolvo to murder tho woman, it Is
said, entered Koch's mind suddenly. Ho
Btranglod hor while sho slept, and then
carried her to tho gravo ho had hastily pre
pared. Ho came hero Thursday night and
Friday went to Fox Chaso, and on Satur
day to Somerton, where ho stopped at a
hotel. Ho had provlously loft tho child in
Philadelphia in a "baby farm." On Sat
urday night ho read of tho discovery of
body, and began trembling so that tho
hotel proprlotor spoke to him. Ho ad
mitted ho was John Kech, and was then
turned ovor to tho police.

A Miuked Man Kills an Aged Couple anil
Knocks Others Senseless.
Akrojj, O., March 30. At a lato hour
Saturday night a masked mau outerod tho
farm houso of Alvln M. Stone, near Tall
madgo, n few miles from this city, and In
tho brief spaco of half an hour committed
nhorriblo butehory. When ho took his
departure Stono and his wlfo, both aged
pooplo, wore lying dead in bed, horribly
mutilated, and Ira Stlllson.tho hired man,
and Emma Stone, tho eldost of thrco
(laugh tons, wore unconscious from blows
dealt by tho murderer.
Tho murderer onto red tho houso by
means of a ladder, which ho raised to an
upstairs window. Going quietly down
stairs to tho room iu which Mr. ami Mrs.
Stone slept ho attacked them with a blunt
woapon of somo sort, hitting both upon
tho head. Tho llond then out off ono of
Stouo's ears, slashed him across tho face
and stabbed him in tho back. Tiion ho
laid Mrs. Stouo's cheek upon with a knlfo.
Aftor satisfying his fiendish desires down
itairs ho proceeded to tho room of Stlllson,
upstairs, Tho hired man heard tho In
truder, apparently, for ho had arisen, when
he was dealt a stunning blow on tho hoad,
Koit tho murderer turned his attention
to Emma Stone, who slept In a room by
hcttiolf. Whou bo entered hor room'sho
screamed. That awakened tho two other
girls who slept across tho hall. Huttio
Stono nroso to go to hor sister s assistance
hut was follod to tho floor by a bloWouiho
head, but fortunately was not rendered
unconscious. Itegalning her foot sho ran
to her own room anu lockod tho door.
Throwing u bod quilt about her sho leaped
from tho window and rau through tho
rain and mud to tho nohrost uolghbors, a
quartor of a mile awayi
Tho Snurderer retur'.td to Emma's room
dud struek hor on th'Jjhond, loavlng her
unconscious. Then retried tho door to
tho room In which fWlo had left her
younger Bister, Flora, when sho jumped
from tho window. V,ITindiiiir tho door
! locked ho battered HVwn' ''lln8 ouljr
' Flora in tho room. If iked Flora whore
tho other girl was, and uoing told thacsno
hud gone for help he hastily loft tho house
nnil made hi . oncupo.
Hnttic, with tho blood streaming from
the wound in her head, managed to roach
the neighbor's limine, told hur story and
then fainted. Tho neighbor, calling for
help, went to tho Stone Iioumi. The only
person in tho house who was able to speak
Was Flora Stone, nged 1(1, and she was so
badly frightened that sho could tell noth
ing about tlm murder, except that tho
man who committed It wore a mask over
his face.
Iro Stlllson, tho hired man, and Emma
and Hattle Mono havo not yet recovered
consciousness and it is feared that Stlllson
will surely tile, whllo tho chances tor tho
rooovory of tho two girls aro very small.
Tho crlmo is a mystery. There is no pos
sible motlvo for tho murdors, so far as cau
bo learned.
