Show MAD CHEF KILL SIX. Negro Fires Cottage and Attacks Occupants Oc-cupants as They Emerge. Spring Green, Wis. A mad chef, armed with an ax, on Saturday killed Mrs. i.Maniah Uoulon f-orthwick and five others -nd injured three persons at the home of Prank Lloyd Wright. Julien Carlton, a negro cook, employed em-ployed by Wright and accused of the crimes, surrendered after a search of several hours had been made for him. The Negro, who is believed to have become enraged at some rebuke from Mrs. Horth wick, displayed fiendish ingenuity in-genuity in arranging his victims for the slaughter. The nine victims were in the dining room when the negro lighted a rug soaked in gasoline in front of the door, according to William Western, the least seriously hurt. This left but one means of egress, a window. As fast as they came out of the window, Carlton struck them with an ax. |
