AGED WOMAN MURDERED BY
THUGS AFTER FEARFUL FIGHT
A. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE, April 8.—With
their skulls Crushed in by blows
from some heavy instrument and
with their torn clothing, indicat
ing a fearful struggle for life, the
bodies of Mrs. Corrine Wheeler,
aged seventy six, and Miss Kate
D. Swift, aged fifty three, sisters,
were found in their home, W'est
lake avenue, today, the victims of
tthugs who broke into the resi
dence sometime during the night.
The bodies ■were found this morn
ing by H. S. King, a nephew
of the victims.
W hen found the bodies were
cold indicating that the double
murder had been committed ear
ly last evening. King at once
summoned the police who discov.
ered that the aged women had
been robbed oi some two thou
sand dollars of savings, which
they kept secreted in the house.
The premises displayed every evi
dence of having ben thoroughly
ransacked before the hiding place
of the money was located. It is
believed the women discovered the
burglars at work and were mur
Jered while trying to protect their
little fund.

escape from being crushed On
this occasion the other occupants
of the car were thrown clear of
the machine but the babe was
caught underneath but beyond
some slight bruises caused by the
fall sustained no harm. The ma
chine was repaired and delivered
to the Glenn home the next morn
ing. The parents at once decided
to take the babe, out for an air
ing. The machine had proceeded
